Wireless Expense Management Experts announce webinar on Telecom Law and how to develop
a Corporate Wireless Policy
Cellution Inc. to host telecom law expert Martha Buyer in exclusive online educational
event
|
|
Rochester, NY (June 4, 2010) – The use of wireless devices, such as Blackberries,
Palms, iPhones and Droids has become the symbol of efficiency in today’s business
landscape. As the demand for mobile technology on the job increases, the corporate
wireless experts at Cellution Inc. are finding that employers are struggling to
keep up with critical legal strategies, including clear and concise corporate wireless
policies. Nonexistent and subpar employee policies leave many organizations vulnerable
to a variety of risks. These include, but are not limited to liability for accident-related
injury litigation, corporate security breaches and employee misuse and abuse of
corporate wireless access, including non-business related texting.
|
To aid employers with large mobile workforces, Cellution will hold an exclusive
webinar on items to be considered when developing a corporate wireless policy. The
webinar will feature telecommunications law expert Martha Buyer, who worked as a
telecommunications engineer for several large organizations before becoming an attorney.
|
The complimentary webinar, “Developing a Strong Corporate Wireless Policy -
Pointers and pitfalls of protecting your company without sacrificing employee productivity”
will take place Wednesday, June 16, 2010 at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT.
|
Having a good corporate wireless policy can help mitigate an employer’s significant
legal risk. A strong wireless device policy can potentially save millions of dollars
in litigation expenses, while simultaneous saving employers up to 15% or more each
year in average wireless telecom expenses.

Protecting your company with a Corporate Wireless Policy
|
Exposure from distracted driving accidents is a great threat. “Many employers don’t
consider that whether or not the employer provides the device to the employee or
not, the employer remains at risk in the event of an accident or other unfortunate
occurrance,” said Buyer, a practicing telecommunications attorney, who is also a
long time member of the Society of Telecommunications Consultants. “We are seeing
settlements as high as $20 million in some cases. The onus is on the employer to
have a clear policy that it’s willing to enforce.”
|
In addition to litigation exposure, business owners have to be concerned with other
potential risks caused by misuse and abuse by employees. Not only can employees
inadvertently run up charges with personal texting, gaming and other data driven
expenses, but today’s smartphones and wireless devices are also powerful tools that
can be used in less than savory ways. Many of these devices include exceptional
cameras and data capabilities, and can be operated in stealthy ways, increasing
the threat to the employer of security breaches.
|
“The exponential growth of mobile devices as a central tool of business has many
implications and has caught some corporate divisions by surprise,” said Chuck Serapilio,
President and founder of Cellution. “This webinar is designed to give companies
the critical background and considerations to create a strong corporate wireless
policy. From Corporate Counsel and Human Resources to IT and Finance, no matter
what your area of responsibility is, you’re going to want to make sure you have
a mobile device policy that’s well written, fully acknowledged by staff and enforceable.”

Among the information presented in the complimentary online webinar will be:
|
- What can go wrong: Real life case studies and lessons learned from
other companies
- Recent settlements costing corporations million of dollars (not including
attorneys’ fees and court costs)
- Employee-liable versus Corporate-liable device ownership … what it
means in legal terms
- The 3 critical considerations you need to cover when developing a
wireless policy for your work force
- Tips on deploying and enforcing a wireless policy throughout
your entire organization, including multiple business units
