Spark is expanding its Mobility-as-a-Service offering to enterprise customers, with the aim of helping businesses strengthen workplace mobility with the right devices, in the right hands, at the right time.

In todays changing business environment, where many employees are working remotely, this offering is a flexible, end-to-end device management solution for organisations with 100 or more mobile connections.

The solution includes mobile plan options bundled with hardware for a single monthly fee and aims to address key organisational challenges like tighter budgets and ever-changing teams, allowing IT managers to focus on more important business operations instead.

According to Spark's product director Tessa Tierney, business customers have a lot on their plate, and that's not even taking into account the added stresses of keeping track of every mobile device and plan.

She says that is the very reason why Spark created its Mobility as a Service offering - to take the hassle away from customers.

Businesses can rest easy knowing their devices and plans are taken care of, so they can go back to what's really important for their teams, with the added bonus of cost control," says Tierney.

Spark's government customers are already reaping the benefits of Spark's Mobility as a Service offering, particularly in some New Zealand regional councils.

Regional councils typically employ hundreds of staff, all of whom have navigated their regions through civil defence crises such as COVID-19 and environmental issues. In such situations, IT teams have to work flexibly and quickly to ensure their teams have the devices and plans to suit their evolving situations.

Spark's Mobility as a Service enabled one council to offload device management, save money, and make sure its team had exactly what they needed, when they needed it.

The council also appreciated Spark's 24/7 support, as well as the flexibility to add new devices and scale back as requirements dictated.

With those benefits in mind, it's clear that Spark is dedicated to helping New Zealand businesses do what needs to be done, in a way that suits every customer's individual needs.

Here are some of the core benefits of Spark's Mobility as a Service solution:
