Understanding the Dangers of Distracted Driving and Corporate Liability

Posted on by

Corporate mobile device management needs to address its mobile force while on the road.  Mobile devices are essential for productivity in today’s business world. However, used while operating a vehicle, these devices represent a serious danger on the road and an expensive liability to companies.

The routine of many professionals there are important clients calling, urgent emails chiming through, lunch on the go and wrong turns that require GPS assistance. As new technology evolves to make our lives easier we are faced with new forms of distraction, and it’s a convenience that comes at a high price. In 2008 nearly 20% of all crashes involved some sort of distraction; more than half a million people were injured, and there were 6,000 fatalities.  Additionally, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has found on-the-job crashes cost employers over $24,500 per crash, $150,000 per injury, and $3.6 million per fatality.

Fortunately, employers are realizing the dangers of distracted driving and implementing usage policies to prevent employees from operating mobile devices while in motion.  Ovation has partnered with ZoomSafer, the leading provider of policy management software to prevent distracted driving.  ZoomSafer uses GPS, Bluetooth or Telematic triggers to determine when a user is mobile, and automatically disables select features while in motion.

“Even in states where cell phone safety laws have not yet been enacted, companies can still be found directly liable if crashes are caused by distracted employees who were using their mobile phone for work-related activities,” said ZoomSafer Founder and CEO Matt Howard. To date, 38 states have passed legislation prohibiting some form of distracted driving, with texting as the most aggressively targeted distraction. The U.S. Department of Transportation states that operating a mobile device while driving impairs drivers response time the same as a blood alcohol content of .08.

Mobile Device Liability Model

Not much more than a year ago, the discussion regarding employee owned mobile devices accessing corporate email and other data was heated and polarized.  On the “Less Filling” side of the debate were the IT folks barring the barbarians from getting through the gate with their unsupported rogue personally-owned devices.  And on the “Tastes Great” side of the room were those who were advocating allowing Individual Liable devices onto the network.  (I realize I may be dating myself by referring to 1970s and 80s TV ads starring retired sports greats of the 60s and 70s.)  And like those old beer commercial stand-offs, there was no winner, only opinions set further into stone.

I thought it would be good to take another look at the state of the liability model debate now that we have jumped forward a year or so.  In the last year, the growth of Apple’s iOS and the explosion of Android-based devices has altered the landscape of enterprise mobility.  End users are pushing heavily for these devices and frustrated companies are looking for ways to get out of the mobile device purchase business because newer Smartphones are costlier to buy up front and to replace when an employee loses or damages one.  With so many options available, it is more difficult to try to keep costs low by enforcing standards on users who demand consumer-like options after being bombarded by advertising from the manufacturers and carriers and innumerable recommendations from friends for their wonderful Smartphone.

In response to the pressure for variety, companies are exploring new liability models for enterprise mobility.  We are seeing individual liable devices and service be allowed to get corporate email.  We have several clients taking a mixed approach in which the employees are paying in whole or in part for the mobile device of their choice while the organization pays for the wireless service.  We have been adapting and providing solutions to assist the mobile enterprise offer all of these liability models together.  Organizations are stressing in varying degrees security, cost control and policy management.  Mobile device management will become the biggest challenge moving forward.

Android in Enterprise Mobility: Ready or Not

With the amazing growth of Android, the extensive marketing by carriers and manufacturers, and the great devices that are on the market, it should come as no surprise that Android devices are piling into the mobile enterprise.  In fact, we see Android devices in over 70% of our clients’ mobile device populations.  Naturally, the question comes up, is Android ready for the Enterprise?

I read an interesting blog post on the topic yesterday by Michael Gartenberg (http://gartenblog.net) in which he says that Android 2.2 is now ready for deployment in an enterprise — with some reservations.  Remote mobile device management has made strides but is not where it should be according to Gartenberg.  He also points out that only one device is available currently with Android 2.2.

However, I would say that it almost doesn’t matter given the rapid pace of Android adoption at the moment.  I believe we’re going to see more and more Androids in the enterprise for several reasons:

  • Android is seen long term as a somehow lower cost way to break the hold of proprietary systems like Blackberry and iPhone.  As a result, there seems to be more tolerance.
  • Experimentation with Android devices functionality and for email and suitability for applications.
  • Desire by telecom managers to provide (or at least not to fight) the requests for the many slick new devices being relentlessly pushed by carriers and manufacturers.
  • An inability or lack of desire to impose device standards on employee-liable devices, for those companies that allow them.  If a company allows employee-owned devices on their network, they are going to see Android devices due to Android’s sales success unless they maintain an iron hand on connectivity.

Android is being used for business despite its shortcomings.  Even as mobile device management vendors race to provide Android features, we’re going to see more and more Android devices whether the mobile enterprise is ready or not.

Mobile Device Management Challenge with Personal Wireless Devices

Mobile device management of employee purchased phones is becoming increasingly more challenging to manage. Personal data devices such as iPhone and Blackberries on corporate networks are growing exponentially. People want one device: personal cell phone and corporate mobile phone to watch movies and read personal and corporate e-mail. The ultimate result is a more productive employee but there are corporate issues surrounding security and liability that need to be addressed.

Wireless Management Issues with Porting Mobile Numbers

Transferring of cellular numbers from employee personal to corporate accounts is a regular occurrence in corporations with a large mobile workforce. Policies on porting numbers vary greatly from company to company. Some workplaces allow personal phone number to transition in and out of its accounts freely while others rather retain the numbers. Others issues such as mobile carrier changes and cellular number ownership also impact the policy decisions.
