When we talk about mobility, there are many companies that join this initiative. Mobility is something that companies are concerned about at a certain point in their careers. But how much does it cost and how long does it take to prepare for enterprise mobility?

Initial preparations for mobility.

A company cannot make unfounded decisions, much less jump into the pool without assessing the risks involved in enterprise mobility. If a company wants to survive in the era of telework and the cloud, it must assess the extent of its capabilities and its limits. Analyzing the company’s weak points becomes an essential task if we do not want to fail in the attempt. Companies must first and foremost provide the necessary tools to get the job done. Leaving this task to our employees without knowledge and training is a risky move. WMware publishes a study in which it assures that companies take more than three weeks to prepare for mobility. Here are some steps we can take

• Organization of mobility management in the company: Create a department responsible for the development of the plan and the procedures for employee participation.
• Gathering information on workers’ mobility, interests and needs.
• Compilation of statistics, previous analysis and incentive programs
• Risk Assessment.
  -Risks related to travel organization and management.
  -Risks related to the human factor: lack of adaptation, capacity…
  -Risks related to host country
  -Risks related to infrastructure: do we have a comparable infrastructure?
• Preventive measures: such as training of workers
• Evaluation and follow-up of the plan.

With this series of guidelines, we will come out of enterprise mobility in good shape and reduce the risks to a minimum. And you, do you know how to prepare a mobility plan?
