Step 2. Implement Optelcon's ongoing mobile management technology.

ITEMS Mobiletm  is our "on-demand" technology solution which enables your company to fully manage your mobile spend and reduce your internal management costs by over 40%.  This solution is for companies who want to take a best practices approach to managing mobile spend permanently.  Some of the key benefits our solution provides include:
  • Integration all of your wireless devices across carriers, accounts, and technologies into a single user-friendly web based management portal.

  • Automation of monthly reports across carriers by business unit, department, or any other criteria for better control and management.

  • Enable true policy management.  User "spend limits" or "business use" rules can be assigned in a variety of ways including, time of day, area codes, international, dollars, minutes, voice/data and even down to each individual call at the user level.  This allows the system to manage who is going outside of policy vs. each manager having to police each user.

  • Engineering and Administration support with infrastructure and applications.
  • Standard Help Desk hours 8am-5pm CST with afterhours paging and email response service.
Step 4. Centralized ownership, management and billing for employee owned phones.

Why would you want to centralize?  Ask yourself this simple question: would you let your employees just go to the local store and pick out, buy, own and expense their office furniture, computers, office supplies, desk phones, software, local & long distance service, advertising, 800 numbers etc... and then expect the company to support everything?  For obvious reasons, companies do not operate this way.  So when it comes to your fastest growing and arguably most important communications channel, why would you even consider this? 

Due to the relatively new and very daunting challenges with effective mobile phone management, some companies have gone as far as just letting their employees, buy, own, control and expense their own cell phones.

In the last 3 years mobile phones and devices have become the fastest growing segment of all telecom and now represent over 25% of the entire corp. telecom budget. In the next 3-5 years, mobile phone/data expenditures are forecasted to take over the majority of all telecom expense for the first time in history.  Since telecom represents an average of the 3rd-5th largest corporate expense, the financial impact is profound.

Utilizing Optelcon's specialized tools, processes and people, we will enable you to implement best practices and reduce your employee owned phone expenses by an average of 40%.

How do we do it?

We have developed customizable corporate communications policies, documents and automated email communications which outline the companies shift to corporate controlled wireless devices.  Within this email communication, we provide the individuals with a web hyperlink to a a secure online input form.  This form populates a centralized database of users, devices, plans, carriers, usage etc… With this centralized database and a letter of authorization from your company, we have the means to electronically make “bulk changes” and manage the transition process with each vendor assuring and confirming billing changes with provider. Once changes are made, we re-optimize the new spend with new population and usage.   For companies which want to limit use and do not want to pay for personal calls, we have built in policy based usage management systems which will enable your company to systematically separate personal calls.  The honor system will no longer be needed."  

Give us an hour.   We WILL improve your bottom line...   "Really..."
