Five Costly Mobility Management Mistakes to Avoid

Five Costly Mobility Management Mistakes to Avoid
February 11, 2021 by Mobility Help Desk

When it comes to managing your company’s mobile devices, avoiding these 5 costly mobility management mistakes can save you time and money.

In a world where mobility is key and devices are in everyone’s hands, it’s more important than ever to take the proper steps necessary to safeguard not only the integrity of your company and customer data but the longevity and usability of the devices your team uses every day to perform their work. 

Here are the 5 most common mobility management mistakes companies often make that can be costing you money right now, and in the long-run. 

1. Overlooking the security of your mobile devices. 

When you neglect to secure the data on or accessible on your team’s mobile devices, you are opening yourself up to costly data breaches. This also leaves your company at risk. 

2. Keeping old or obsolete devices in circulation too long. 

It’s tempting to just keep using those old devices (got anyone running around with a flip phone?) as long as they continue to work. Older devices are more susceptible to data breaches, failures, and performance issues that could be holding your organization back. 

3. Failing to create and implement a BYOD strategy. 

Companies are taking advantage of cost savings and preference many employees have to use their own devices to perform essential job functions. When your employees are using their own devices to access your apps, servers, data, and more, you are opening your company and customers up to a lot of risks unless you take a comprehensive and proactive approach to develop a BYOD strategy. 

4. Poor user experience. 

If your apps, devices, and software are too cumbersome or difficult for your employees to use, they will often resort to using workarounds. These workarounds pose risks to the integrity of your data and devices. It’s important to keep the user experience in mind when integrating technology or processes into your workflows. 

5. Neglecting or delaying device, software, and firmware updates. 

Most users will delay or decline updates on their devices. This practice can create big problems down the road. In order to avoid delayed updates on your team’s mobile devices, a managed mobility service can help. 

Mobility Management Mistakes Takeaways

While there are many other pitfalls when it comes to managed mobility, being aware of these top 5 will help you safeguard your company and customers against security breaches. It will also help you avoid some of the downtime associated with using obsolete devices or out of date operating systems.
