According to a recent YouGov survey, 55% of those surveyed said they could not get through a meal without checking their mobile phones.

It’s unlikely that statistic will surprise anyone. With 95% of UK 16 to 54 year old’s owning a smartphone, it’s clear that our mobile devices are indispensable, keeping us in touch, improving productivity and allowing us to squeeze more into our busy lives.

The reliance for businesses and organisations on mobile technology is undoubted too. The downside is the time and resource required to keep mobile devices – smartphones, tablets, laptops, the internet of things and more – up-to-date and secure can be extremely time consuming. Without full-time, professional, mobile tech expertise many will struggle to derive maximum value and keep them completely secure.

AVR’s Mobility Managed Service is the answer. A full service portfolio with a return on investment that delivers increased productivity, a secure network and reduced overheads.

The increase in the number and type of cyber attacks and data breaches has sharply raised the profile of IT Security and Threat Protection for businesses. For those not working in IT, cyber security may seem like a relatively new phenomenon, but for experienced IT directors and managers the threat has built from a tidal swell to a major flood.

They must also comply with current and forthcoming data protection regulations, while enabling the business to be productive at the same time.  So a solution that could automatically protect critical data, remove only the content that breaks company policies and sends the rest of the email onward would be ideal, right?  We have the answer!
