The ability to work remotely via mobile communication is a necessary requirement for conducting business in South Africa, especially for SMEs. The challenge therefore, for small business owners, is to ensure their employees’ ability to be mobile, while managing the costs thereof.
“Our mission at Telkom Business mobile solutions is to provide our customers with incomparable offers that will enhance their productivity and benefit their bottom line,” says Megan Nicholas, managing executive at Telkom Business mobile solutions. “We have pinpointed areas that are cost drivers and have developed various product offerings to help counter the effects of those specific drivers.”
The following points highlight how SMEs can save on mobile costs and manage their communication expenditure.
Nicholas concludes: “We give our customers connectivity anywhere and at any time without expecting them to spend unreasonable amounts to do business.”
