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 want to 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.
