Vodafone Group Plc Annual Report 2010 17
Mobile broadband solutions
7 Causes is a marketing consultancy with a difference.
Based in the Netherlands, they’ve changed the way they
work with clients. Out went expensive office space and
long commutes. Instead they bought a bus and turned
it into a mobile office complete with Vodafone mobile
broadband. So now instead of wasting time travelling,
they can work on the move and see more of their clients
and their own families.
Enterprise
We continue to add value to our enterprise customers, building on our
core mobile business and leading the way with a range of services
where applications and data are secured and hosted in the Vodafone
network or “cloud”. In addition, we are providing mobile internet
bundles for smartphones, mobile email (BlackBerry, Microsoft
ActiveSync and Vodafone Email Plus) and mobile broadband via a
range of innovative devices, such as the Vodafone Mobile Wi-Fi, a
portable mobile broadband powered Wi-Fi hub, and class leading USB
dongles, embedded laptops and netbooks.
As we embrace the convergence of mobile and fixed networks our
customers are seeing the value it brings to their business through a
range of convergent services. Building on our success in Italy and
Spain with our cloud-based office phone solution, Vodafone One Net,
the service is expected to be launched in Germany and the UK during
the 2011 financial year. The service provides enterprise customers of
all sizes with advanced office desk phone functionality integrated with
their mobile services.
Our partnership with Microsoft has enabled us to combine these
converged services with the Microsoft online suite, providing our
customers with hosted email and productivity tools as well as
conferencing and collaboration services in a single package. The
services have launched successfully in Germany and Spain.
Vodafone Global Enterprise (‘VGE’) manages the relationships with
over 550 of our largest multinational corporate customers. VGE

Within VGE, our machine-to-machine (‘M2M’) business unit provides
MNC customers with global capabilities for M2M services through a
single platform and a global numbering range. The business has
achieved major customer wins in both the automotive and smart
metering sectors. VGE has continued to expand both its footprint and
the services it provides to our customers and now has dedicated
