Why restrict your organisation to a single mobile network operator when all the clever stuff can be delivered from the cloud to any SIM?

1. Enterprise BYOD. Without compromise.
If you are considering, or implementing, a bring-your
own-device (BYOD) strategy then the chances are
you’re already well aware of the benefits.
BYOD gives your people simplicity and freedom to
choose how they communicate.
Naturally there have been security and compliance
concerns around BYOD, but these appear to have been
ironed out by the likes of enterprise software vendors
MobileIron and Good Technology.
BYOD is taking a hold even in data security conscious
sectors such as healthcare, legal and banking.
Thus it’s natural for your organisation to consider
BYOD as well. On the surface, the scheme seems to
have a lot to offer. But there is still one piece of the
puzzle that is missing: voice.
Not everyone likes to use their personal mobile for
Business calls because presenting personal mobile
numbers on work related calls raises privacy issues.
And splitting out work-related and personal calls is a
pain for workers who need to file expenses claims.
Whoever the job falls to, the administrative burden is
significant.
It’s a real problem if you’ve just made a decision to
adopt BYOD across your business. Ideally, you would
want to have a way to easily run work and personal
voice calls off a single device, yet keep the services
separate.
Until recently, the available options were less than
ideal. Thankfully, though, the situation has now
changed.
Enabling services on a virtual SIM.
By enabling the business mobile identity on a virtual
SIM rather than a physical SIM, financial enterprises
are able to exceed business objectives around cost
control, compliance, collaboration and customer
experience in a way that was not previously possible.
On the second page, we have outlined key
differences between a physical and virtual SIM.
