In this case study, we were hired by a fortune 500 Telecom
Equipment Manufacturer
to optimize their mobile rate structure. Prior to performing the analysis, the client
indicated that they had a team of telecom and I.T. staff which managed their
mobile costs.
In addition, they had
a dedicated account manager from their mobile vendor, on premise
full
time also managing their mobile expense.
They also indicated that they were on a
pool plan and that they had a large
corporate contract.
As such, they believed that we would not find savings. Due to the no risk nature of this
service,
they agreed to "give us a shot". Within 3
weeks we were able to uncover
approximately $375,000 in savings. The client did not have to change contracts,
vendors,
phones, coverage areas, account managers. Only their rate codes on
each individual user.
Using our
extensive database of over 10,000 rate plans and algorithms, we were able to
identify rate plans that not even the account manager had access to. In addition, we were
able to modify their
pooling structure to take better advantage of "bolt-on" plans
which ultimately
reduced their costs.
