The costs and complexity of enterprise mobility are rising, driven in part by an increasingly mobile workforce, bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trends and fundamental changes in global wireless data plans. According to a forecast from IDC, by 2015 the world’s mobile worker population will reach 1.3 billion, representing 37.2 percent of the total workforce.1 Given the diversity of devices, competitive carrier plans and usage-based thresholds, the strategic management of usage, roaming rates and carrier incentives, as well as software license issues and dormant devices, can dramatically cut costs and enable companies to better manage telecom spend.

Afaria is a powerful and flexible mobile device management solution for the enterprise, providing a single administrative console to centrally manage, secure and deploy mobile data, applications and devices. When deployed in conjunction with Symphony Teleca’s next-generation CLM service, enterprises can leverage the real-time usage data collection features to actively optimise roaming costs and better manage mobility expenses. Symphony Teleca’s comprehensive CLM service helps enterprises manage the end-to-end mobility lifecycle - from mobile device procurement, inventory, and provisioning, to wireless plan optimisation, accounting and chargeback.

“Mobility is a game changer for the enterprise. However, it presents a host of expense management complexities and challenges,” said Terry Stepien, President of Sybase iAnywhere. “Working with strategic partners like Symphony Teleca is pivotal to helping Sybase address this critical concern of the larger SAP customer base. We look forward to leveraging Symphony Teleca’s mobility expertise and its comprehensive CLM offering to accelerate adoption of Sybase’s mobility solutions.”
