Mobile workers now carry an average of 3.5 devices when they travel, and 43 percent report experiencing smartphone bill shock, of nearly $1,100. For enterprises with increasing numbers of devices that require the support of multiple networks, a BYON plan reduces the cost of mobile data roaming with global Wi-Fi roaming access.
"Mobile employees significantly increase a company's overall productivity. 55 percent of them report they work at least 10 hours or more a week with smartphone, tablet and laptop access to cloud services, which allows them to operate beyond the office -- working when and where they choose," said Christophe Culine, senior vice-president and general manager, iPass Enterprise.

The helps enterprise IT identify how to reduce spiraling mobile data plan costs and provides a comprehensive cost-savings report that can be shared and discussed internally within an enterprise."
