20% of calls on business mobiles are personal

Link: Enterprise mobile costs ‘out of control’ – vnunet.com

Some interesting research here, that claims many companies have poorly managed and inefficient mobile phone systems.

Dustin Kehoe, principal analyst for telecom services at research firm Current Analysis, declared in a recent report that the costs for enterprise mobile services have spiralled out of control.

One of the major problems is employee behaviour. The analyst claims that as much as 20 per cent of all mobile calls made on business phones are personal, and that most expenses occur outside normal business hours, between 5pm and 7pm.

    Hi Ewan,

    Cool site. Here at Mobiun we have a solution to stop this happening. We have a mobile application that facilitates the assignment of calls as personal or business on the handset.

    The other mobile expense apps that are out there which are web based and require the employee to sit in front of a PC to tag their calls (and other usage) at the end of the month. Our Full Circle product presents itself at predetermined times with the numbers (and other usage) that the solution does not recognize allowing the employee to simply tag their numbers Employees can now pay for their personal calls much more easily and employers can keep control of their mobile expense.

    Regard’s

    Owen
