Don't worry - We'll guide you through this:

Quantify Mobile Usage

Find out how much your phones are currently costing you. Include monthly usage statistics for mobile data and calls. These figures are important inputs to your rollout strategy and business case.

Devise An Engagement Plan

Prepare a plan to build awareness and acceptance for MultiLine for your leadership and employees.

Establish Success Metrics

Define how you will measure success given the objectives for your MultiLine deployment. Common metrics include number of corporate phones retired and user satisfaction scores.

Mobilizing employees can be expensive. MultiLine can help you contain mobility costs by enabling or accelerating a shift to BYOD. If that’s part of your business case, be sure to consider these expenses when calculating your savings:

  • Device purchase
  • Device insurance
  • Device provisioning
  • Device replacement
  • Service contract
  • SIM contract
  • Recording technology
  • Maintenance and support

The Business Case

Most MultiLine customers build a business case for the service based on one or more of these primary drivers of business value. The benefits of MultiLine to your organization will depend on multiple factors, including how you plan to deploy the service as well as your current mobility strategy and expenditures. Endorsement from senior business leaders and alignment with key functional areas pave the way for a successful MultiLine rollout.

Cost savings and convenience

Customer engagement

Getting your technical team excited

Successful MultiLine rollouts are driven by an implementation plan with clear objectives, a strategy for engaging stakeholders, and a timeline for onboarding user groups.

MultiLine is a software-based solution that makes life easier for the people who support your mobile users and devices. Administrators have a simple, web-based portal to manage your deployment.

  • Enable and disable specific features within the app for its own organization. 
    • For example, MultiLine customers may choose to only allow integration to Exchange for contacts or disable calling over Wi-Fi.
  • Control the number inventory and assign numbers to departments and to individuals within the department. It's possible to mimic the organizational structure within the portal for easy management.
  • Send MultiLine invitations to end users by SMS or email that they use to activate the service.
  • Create and manage MultiLine accounts.
  • Use reporting to get information on usage data across the organization.

  • Demo the app for users and executives and give them the opportunity to ask questions.
  • Recommend help.moviuscorp.com as a great resource for self-guided learning.

Deployment FAQ

How disruptive will this rollout be to our operations?

We chose MultiLine because it’s easy to deploy and simple to use. Most new users can call or text within minutes of downloading the app, with little or no training. After that, the product will fit seamlessly into your workflows.

Does MultiLine work with our existing Mobile Device Management(MDM)?

Yes, MultiLine is designed to work with your existing MDM. We have specially integrated versions of the app for BlackBerry Dynamics and Microsoft Intune, but the applications are also compatible with any other MDM or EMM. 

Can you help me understand the mobile recording option?

For both calling and messaging, you can define which organizations need their calls and messages recorded, and which do not. You can choose to record both calls and messaging, or only calling or messaging. Movius can also configure features such as a call announcement stating "Your call is being recorded" and periodic beep, to meet the requirements of your local legislation. We offer many options for securely transferring the communications to your compliance archive. 

The benefit of using MultiLine is that you'll only be capturing the data of business calls and messages made using MultiLine. This protects the privacy of employees and helps them be at ease with a BYOD mobile phone policy. We have information available to share with your users about their privacy in our Privacy FAQ

How will this impact employees’ monthly mobile bill?

We anticipate that there will be little or no change to the monthly mobile phone bill of most employees. First, most mobility plans include unlimited text and voice calling—so no extra costs there. Second, MultiLine supports text, voice, and data on Wi-Fi networks—so that’s free. Third, even for people with tiered data plans, the average data usage for MultiLine is only 100MB per month, which isn’t likely to push anyone over the typical 3 - 4 GB monthly limit.

Note:

  • Check out your usage statistics collected from your corporate mobile estate. For example, one organization determined that 82% of all corporate device users used less than .5GB of data per month—and that’s for all enterprise mobile apps and communications.
  • You can address cost concerns by offering employees a monthly stipend or reimbursing employees for unusual expenses, such as when roaming.

Do you offer support during integrations setup?

If you're integrating with Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, WeChat, LINE, etc we have special instructions for you in our Customer Hub. Your Account Manager will grant you access to these materials.

Make self-help resources—like how-to videos, FAQs, and knowledge base articles— easily available to end users. Movius and our partners offer a variety of ready-made training materials for you to use.

Make sure your Help Desk is briefed on MultiLine and knows where to direct users for more information. They'll also find our User Troubleshooting guide a helpful resource.

Counter user concern

Clearly address end users’ questions about conducting business on their personal phone. Reassure them about MultiLine’s privacy and overcome cost concerns with actual usage data.

We answer common user concerns in our Privacy FAQ.

Set up an email campaign

When you’re ready to onboard users, send a series of emails before, during, and after the go-live date. Track end user activation to determine the need for follow-up communications.

At T minus 2 or 3 Weeks before Go-Live, Send Email 1: Introduction. Explain Why we're doing this, what to expect, end user benefits, and provide links to FAQs. On Go-Live day, send Email 2. Welcom users to MultiLine, explain how to activate, and provide link to Help Center or Help Resources. After 1-2 weeks, send Email 3: follow up with non-activated users. Remind users how to activate. As needed continue to email non-activated users.
