“Sprint MultiLine delivers a solution that allows businesses,
ranging from large enterprises to SMB customers, to overcome real
challenges in the ever-growing BYOD environment,” said Sprint
Business President Jan Geldmacher. “Sprint offers an unmatched
level of flexibility and simplicity of a second line service,
allowing businesses to own the number, ensure compliance and manage
costs, while allowing employees to carry one phone while keeping
their work and personal communications completely separate.”
Demand for BYOD is expected to continue to grow enormously in
the next few years. According to IDC’s Enterprise Mobility Update
from June, 2017, 91% of enterprise IT decision makers indicated
their companies support BYOD programs. Of those companies, 65% said
they have experienced opex or capex savings as a result of
implementing an employee liable device program.
“With Bring Your Own Device a market characteristic that is here
to stay, it is critical that employers have options that allow
individuals the flexibility of using their own device for personal
and work use while reducing capital and operating expenses and
ensuring compliance,” said Denise Lund, research director,
Enterprise Mobility, IDC. “Products like Sprint MultiLine are
designed with this in mind.”
Some of the most prominent benefits of Sprint MultiLine
include:
- Business Identity – Providing
business owners and managers peace of mind by ensuring that
business will be conducted on a company-owned number to protect
business relationships and company information.
- Ease of Management – A
simple-to-use web portal allows business owners and managers to
manage company phone numbers and settings.
- Regulatory Compliance –
Providing call recording and text logging at an individual or group
level to monitor and ensure compliance.
- Cost Savings – Business and
organizations can reduce or eliminate expenses on employee mobile
devices, as well as service and support.
- Employee Satisfaction – Allows
employees to use the phone they love and the service plan that
works for them, regardless of carrier, while keeping their primary
number for personal use.
Sprint MultiLine maintains separation of voice and text usage to
optimize the reimbursement process and will work on any carrier
network, including cellular voice, mobile data and Wi-Fi.
This new technology is handset agnostic, allowing Sprint’s
clients to successfully manage second line and BYOD programs, no
matter which type of device employees use, or the underlying
carrier that employees work with. This means enterprises can add a
fully functional business line to any personal device while
maintaining complete separation of mobile
identities, increasing productivity for businesses and
convenience for employees.
With Sprint MultiLine, businesses will be able to control costs
with company-owned numbers and real-time analytics of corporate
mobile data, text and voice usage. Secure voice and text logging is
also available for regulated enterprises, such as financial
institutions or large healthcare organizations, to ensure
compliance.
