Mobile devices
Deploying 5G to enhance your digital workplace strategy means investing in the right mobile devices. We supply a range of 5G devices and accessories, from leading hardware manufacturers.
Why are mobile devices important?
Mobile devices and collaboration apps have become the number one method for employees to communicate. For global organisations, one of the biggest priorities when it comes to developing an effective hybrid work strategy is effectively equipping employees with the latest 5G-enabled mobile devices.
Outdated mobile devices often pose a security risk to the business and have a negative impact on employee experience and productivity. Ensuring your mobile fleet is up-to-date is a key enabler for a strong mobile-first collaboration strategy and providing the right mobile technology will support your organisation’s productivity and talent attraction and retention objectives.
Procuring mobile devices is often a relatively big hit on cash flow for any size business. Moving to an OpEx-based financing model takes the CapEx burden away and provides a framework to refresh the fleet in a way that suits you and reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO).
