Verizon Business Enhances Enterprise Mobility Services in Asia-Pacific and
Canada
Flexible Wi-Fi Pricing and Advanced Reporting Capabilities Simplify Cost
Management for Multinational Customers

BASKING RIDGE, N.J., April 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Business is making
it even simpler for multinational customers with operations in the
Asia-Pacific region and Canada to manage the costs of their enterprise
mobility services.
To help enterprise customers select the most appropriate services for
their specific business needs, the company has introduced flexible flat-rate
and usage-based pricing plans for its individual and combined Global Dial and
Wi-Fi services. Customers can adapt their price plans as required, with
automatic billing adjustments in local currency. New advanced reporting tools
enable the customers to keep track of usage patterns and therefore optimize
management of their services.
Claudio Castelli, senior analyst, Enterprise Asia Pacific, Ovum, said,
"This is another step in Verizon's enterprise mobility strategy and shows its
intentions to address a major MNCs' concern for enterprise mobility. A recent
survey has shown that the biggest gap between MNCs' mobility priorities and
service providers' capabilities is on international roaming costs."
Verizon Business now has more than 3 million users of its Enterprise
Mobility services accessing corporate resources while on the move,
highlighting the ongoing importance of access flexibility for business users.
Verizon Enterprise Mobility is designed to reduce the administrative costs
associated with extending corporate network access to on-the-go workers. The
flexible, scalable, easily administered solution offers corporate users
multiple access options while addressing their varying access-security
requirements.
"The customer's experience of using our global solutions portfolio should
be as simple and productive as possible," said Mike Marcellin, vice president,
global product marketing for Verizon Business. "Our integrated Enterprise
Mobility services enable all constituents of the extended enterprise --
whether employees, partners or suppliers -- to tap into company resources,
collaboration applications and up-to-date information, through both fixed and
wireless access.
"Our objective is to enable effective collaboration, no matter where the
employee may be. The continued increase in our user base is testament to the
strength of our overall Enterprise Mobility service portfolio," Marcellin
said.
