Example iPhone Profile in Success – Kraft Foods
In addition to providing the phone to specific groups, any employee who has an iPhone, or purchases a new iPhone will be able to access their Kraft e-mail — an option that large numbers of Kraft employees have already taken advantage of.
“Our people decided they wanted iPhone,” says Mark Dajani, Senior Vice President of Global Information Systems (Kraft Foods). “It wasn’t one of those things IT decided for them.”
