Case Study: Permira achieves 34% mobile data savings and eliminates roaming bill shock with Wandera

Smart mobility for globetrotting consultants

Permira, a global private equity firm, faced rising mobile data and roaming costs and no device visibility as it moved employees off BlackBerry onto iOS and Android. To replace BlackBerry Enterprise Server and regain control, Permira engaged Wandera and its Enterprise Mobile Security and Data Management services.

Wandera deployed a 30‑day trial then rolled out its RADAR portal, Compliance and Data Cost Management and real‑time policy controls (integrating with AirWatch), allowing Permira to block streaming when roaming and tailor policies by geography. The Wandera deployment delivered clear visibility and enforcement, produced a 34% reduction in data usage, zero instances of bill shock and a 275% increase in roaming productivity.
