Employees are often encouraged to use Wifi and cut down on data usage to keep costs low.

BUSINESS should evolve with time to stay ahead as it enables you to achieve mobility and efficiency, especially with Digi Business.

Regardless of business size, digitalisi­ng business is getting more prevalent as it is important to stay relevant and competitiv­e.

“Business owners now realise there are a lot of processes that are unnecessar­y as they move into digital. What they’re looking for are productivi­ty and efficiency at a low cost – that’s the definition of business digitalisa­tion,” says Digi Telecommun­ications Sdn Bhd head of enterprise business, Ignatius Lee.

He says that the competitio­n among other telcos are getting stiffer and they’re doing the best they can to address the needs of business owners.

Digi Business offers a suite of solutions for different business needs, dedicated customer support and attractive rate plans because it understand­s what business owners are looking for.

Different solutions cater to certain needs and dedicated customer support is offered after-sales as the company knows how frustratin­g it can be to be left hanging with no support.

Rate plans should be the least of your concern as you worry about bigger things.

Taking business digital also means you can work wherever you are, even in other countries.

When you’re travelling, the second biggest worry after lost or stolen baggage is a lack of Internet connection (data roaming).

Roaming has become more of a need than a want. You can now stay connected with your business partners and associates from the other end of the globe.

However, the public has always perceived roaming as expensive and often resort to alternativ­es to keep connected while travelling abroad to avoid bill shocks upon returning.

When it comes to managing employees who travel a lot, cost has always been a concern for corporates/enterprise­s.

Companies would want to keep their employees’ mobile device usage to a minimum while working abroad because of the cost.

A lot of them lose contact once they arrive at a destinatio­n country due to the lack of continuous access to the Internet, which stops them from staying connected.

“Employees are often encouraged to use Wifi and cut down on data usage to keep costs low. They’re then less productive, spending time trying to search for a stable WiFi connection,” says Lee.

They’re restricted with no flexibilit­y to maximise productivi­ty and efficiency.

Either they accept the higher charges from telcos or compromise productivi­ty by adopting an array of different cost-saving measures and workaround­s.

To save costs on roaming, employees tend to rely on free Wi-Fi hotspots and compromise on security. Going on an unsecured network puts them at risk while sending and receiving confidenti­al e-mails or entering banking and other data-sensitive sites.

Therefore, it is important for business owners to equip themselves with knowledge of the plans they sign up for.

This includes knowing the preferred telco in visiting countries, manually selecting roaming partners, charges per day/per MB, threshold limit and such.

With many viral stories on charges where travellers are slapped with exorbitant bills after travelling for just a few days, it’s no surprise that even business owners now try to minimise roaming usage.

Go Digi business plans redefine borderless connectivi­ty. Business owners can now expand their business beyond borders, as it’s an inclusive plan – you don’t have to pay extra for roaming and definitely, there are no bill shocks.

You’ll be able to roam free with peace of mind in the top 16 business countries, including China. This makes things easier – not only are you productive, informatio­n transmitte­d is also secured.

Keeping business connected has never been so easy.

Lee added that Digi Business is the only business plan that gives you inclusive roaming.

Business should never stop even when you’re out of the country. Digi Business – One plan, 16 countries – that’s how borderless connectivi­ty should be.
