Knowing that enterprise mobility users are overwhelmingly dissatisfied, let's examine the myths that might deter organizations from trying VMI.
High Data Plan Costs
Myth #6: The network costs of VMI will be more expensive than local solutions.
If users rely on VMI, won't your company have to pay a ton for data plans? No. In fact, local apps consume far more data than remote apps, which only consume data when employees use them. In testing, Lifshitz' team at Nubo compared a scenario where 30 emails were downloaded, three emails were sent and another three were read. Nubo used about 50 percent of the data used by the local email app.
Think about it: a local email app downloads messages and data 24/7. When someone sends a companywide email with a 40-megabyte attachment (e.g., a longwinded PowerPoint presentation), that will be downloaded to thousands of devices in the organization.
