Corporate Policy Guidelines

Providing Direction in the Midst of Chaos

With mobile expenses consuming over 70% of a typical telecom budget, it becomes vital to manage the usage of these devices to keep costs down. Establishing corporate policy guidelines around your mobility practices is vital in ensuring that these devices are used appropriately.

A well defined wireless policy addresses five corporate financial and operational objectives:

1. Cost Management
   • Clear directives prevent your users from incurring charges that are unnecessary and wasteful
   • Clear directives will optimize the cost for necessary wireless services by focusing on the way the device is to be used by your staff.  Misuse and abuse are clearly identified and accountabilities will be spelled out.
2. Fraud Prevention
   • Clear directives eliminate activity that is not permitted within the policy, protecting budget dollars
   • Clear directives will protect sensitive corporate information and  intellectual property
3. Security
   • Clear directives will establish approved software installations to protect the commodity and sensitive corporate information.
   • Clear directives will identify proper device storage procedures (example: must be kept in a locked drawer while in the office; must be kept in protective case when not in use)
4. Commodity Management
   • Clear directives will identify which cell phone/PDA device is the best tool to help specific individuals drive your business forward in their specific jobs
5. Liability Issues
   • Clear Directives will identify your corporate position to your staff  whenever government policy changes with regards to these devices (internet misuse, hands free only, wireless use while operating a car etc)
