Driving Down The Costs of Wireless

Everyone knows that wireless costs are skyrocketing, and now represent one of the largest telecom budget items. Once considered “HR’s problem”, wireless management is increasingly returning to IT/Telecom department control. The good news is that savings on wireless services are both available and immediate, with real-world experience demonstrating reductions of 20%, 30% and more.

Where Are The Savings?

The simple answer is “all over the place”. Because of the complexity of managing wireless without the right tools and services to support you, unnecessary costs can creep in from a wide range of directions. Here are the savings areas from which clients can benefit:

• Rate Optimization - Save by assuring that you are always operating under the most favorable rate plans from among the more than 10,000 options industry-wide. We drill into your billing and call data, then match each user with the most appropriate plan from the carriers you want to use. When we spot usage patterns that vary from the most cost-effective options, we research the best alternate rate plan for that use, present recommendations to you for approval, and implement the changes with the carrier according to our mutually agreed upon procedures.
• Usage Accountability - Save by keeping your cost center managers "in the know" on all aspects of their wireless costs and user base. Because our system associates costs with your hierarchy, managers can quickly review the wireless expenses for their teams to change behavioral patterns and properly align wireless services with active personnel.
• Contract Compliance – Save by holding the vendor accountable for accurate billing. We carefully track the details of your contracts to insure that discounts and other negotiated fee categories are properly applied.
• Eliminate Unused Devices – Dynamic environments (employee churn, business transitions) cause many wireless devices to become unused or underused. Our analysis identifies these devices to eliminate the costs they continue to generate.
• Eliminate Undesired Features - Do your employees use expensive features and services like text messaging, 411 calls, or custom ring tones when they are not a corporate necessity? We can help appreciably reduce those costs.
• Improved Procurement – Armed with the true cost and details of your wireless environment, companies are in a solid position to negotiate superior contracts, from both a price and a terms perspective.
