Effective distribution of the various technological devices must be limited to persons for whom the productivity gained is appropriate in relation to the costs incurred.
Handheld wireless devices may be issued, for operational efficiency, to eCuras personnel who need to conduct immediate, critical <Company> business. These individuals generally are at the executive and management levels. In addition to verbal contact, they must have the capability to review and have documented responses to critical issues.
