Companies that issue tablets and mobile phones to its employees recognize the efficiency and productivity of having its staff utilize these devices to send or gather information for its business. But the downside can be substantial spikes in the cost of data because of overage and roaming charges.
Wandera, a new mobile data optimization company, announced today that it has the solution in cutting mobile costs for corporations by up to 60 percent.
The cloud is the answer
Mobile data optimization or MDO is a technology Wandera uses to compress mobile data in real time. Companies that subscribe to this service have their web traffic redirected to the Wandera cloud where data streams are compressed and optimized. The result of this is cost savings on data usage.
A transparent system
Businesses can virtually cut out roaming charges related to mobile usage because registered users are redirected to the cloud service no matter where they are. In addition, Wandera is able to provide real-time metrics on how data is used by the company and its staff.
According to Wandera’s website:
“RADAR is Wandera’s powerful cloud-based reporting and management dashboard, where company administrators can deploy the Wandera service to their user base.
“Deployment of MDO to user devices is uncomplicated, with a simple push of settings via a profile. Once the service is installed, it runs transparently in the background at all times without altering the user experience – no custom browser or logins are required.
“By directing users’ mobile web traffic via the Wandera cloud, corporate policies are applied and data compression and optimization enabled. New devices and users can be added to the MDO service as and when needed.”
Eldar Tuvey , CEO and founder of Wandera saw the need for a solution to the runaway data problem faced by companies:
"Globally, businesses spent $29 billion on roaming data charges alone in 2012. With employees migrating from desktops to mobile devices, businesses need a solution that helps them manage their data costs and usage without harming employee productivity. We've designed Wandera from the ground up to do just that."
On the rise
Wandera, a new company headquartered in San Francisco and London, also announced today that it has received $7 million from venture capital firm Bessemer Venture Partners, to expand its operations globally.
With mobile data usage increasing 133% around the world each year, Wandera may be the perfect answer to the question on how to cut mobile data costs for businesses.
