Mobile strategies

The announcement that BDO Stoy Hayward is deploying 000’s of mobile devices made me laugh. They’ve made the classic mistake of deploying across multiple hardware (read Blackberry, Orange, etc etc) instead of standardising and then cutting the best deal possible.

There’s also insight into their charging structure. A Blackberry’s usage gets paid for in an extra 20 minutes productivity per month? So  – that’s at least £150/hour. Phew – I’m glad I’m not one of their clients.

Oh yes – another reason to have wifi at your office. Your clients will be more productive.
