A reliable IT department is essential for companies in the digital age. The IT department is responsible for a wide range of tasks within a company. In addition to key areas such as IT system administration, IT resources are also frequently used for asset management of business smartphones and all areas related to mobile communications. From selecting the right mobile phone tariffs and hardware to managing mobile devices, everything is handed over to the internal IT department. The management of company cell phones in particular involves a great deal of effort. From initial configuration and equipping with the appropriate accessories to handling defects, the responsibilities usually lie with IT. Companies are faced with the challenge of optimizing processes while reducing costs.
