\u2022 Total Cost of Ownership for enterprise mobility is 103% more than commonly expected, and overall,
\n costs British businesses \u00a313.2 billion per annum
\n\u2022 On average \u00a3352 per device annually could be saved \u2013 or \u00a33.7 billion for British businesses overall
\n\u2022 1 in 5 UK enterprises report suffering a mobile security breach in the last 12 months<\/p>\n
Wandera, the leader in mobile data security and management for enterprises, today revealed true Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of mobile devices for UK enterprises. In a survey of 500 UK IT decision makers with material control over their companies\u2019 mobility, average enterprise mobile TCO was confirmed as \u00a31,272 per device per annum.<\/p>\n
The survey found that the TCO is comprised of carrier charges (36%), bill shock (14%), hardware (21%), IT resource (10%), additional services (8%) and security (11%). <\/p>\n
The survey also revealed that the largest companies had a 35% higher mobile device TCO than small companies*. This was largely caused by their greater spend on management platforms such as EMM, customer app building \u2013 but also their greater propensity to suffer bill shock.<\/p>\n
Bill shock \u2013 additional unexpected charges for exceeding carrier plans or roaming charges etc \u2013 accounted for 14% of the average TCO, but for the largest companies, it reached an average of \u00a3279 per device per annum. <\/p>\n
\u201cFor years, most enterprises have considered TCO to be simply made up of the cost of the device plus the carrier charges,\u201d comments Eldar Tuvey, CEO of Wandera. \u201cBut this is frankly a naive view. In fact, the \u2018real\u2019 TCO is twice as much as commonly expected. In the UK, approximately \u00a3644 per device of annual costs for services, security and IT are not being taken into account when calculating the TCO of enterprise mobility.\u201d <\/p>\n
While the TCO is higher than most businesses think, there is good news. 58% of the TCO is \u2018controllable\u2019, in the sense that the costs can be reduced through improved mobile data management, policy setting and security threat prevention. Indeed, in Wandera\u2019s experience, using these measures typically removes about 28% of the total TCO altogether. With approximately 10.4 million corporate liable devices in the UK**, a potential saving of up to \u00a33.7 billion is available annually for British businesses.<\/p>\n
\u201cEnterprise mobility is now ubiquitous. The use of devices by UK businesses is no longer a case of whether or not to use them, but how best to manage and secure them,\u201d says Tuvey. \u201cAs the number of enterprise devices grows, so will the associated costs and risks. Visibility, education, security best practice and effective data cost management are the only ways to defend against your mobility budget leaking away,\u201d concluded Tuvey. <\/p>\n
The survey also showed that 18% of respondents reported suffering at least one security breach via a mobile device in the last 12 months, with an average \u2018clean-up cost\u2019 of \u00a3167,000. The greatest proportion of those companies who suffered a breach (20%) reported that remedying the damage caused by these breaches had cost their companies between \u00a325,000 to \u00a3100,000 over the last 12 months. A further 10% reported remediation expenses of more than \u00a3500,000.<\/p>\n
According to the survey, the cost of remedying a security breach is on average more than three times the amount being spent on prevention. The average spend on mobile security software per device per annum stood at \u00a332, compared to an average \u00a3104 to \u2018clean up\u2019 the breach.<\/p>\n
