Medical Device Manufacturer Masters Stipend Management for BYOD Users With Sakon Mobile Platform

The Situation

A global medical device manufacturer with over 9,000 mobile service lines needs to significantly improve their complex BYOD stipend payment process and scale their BYOD program across 8 Business Units. They lack a way for end users to easily sign up for stipends and are aware that they also need an automated way to validate stipend eligibility, as corporate liable users are wrongly being paid a BYOD stipend. A further complication, they also require that stipend payments be made by the MMS provider directly to thousands of BYOD user’s mobile carrier accounts.

Business Impact

1 ) End user satisfaction scores are low and frustrations high, as stipend requests are slowly and manually processed via email

3) Mobility program management and data insights are very difficult due to the incumbent provider housing data for only the corporate liable lines.
