Mobility Management Today

In today’s world of advanced technology, it only makes sense that companies are providing their employees with the latest in wireless technology.  The basis for this investment is for the obvious reason: to improve efficiency.   However, the cost is often underestimated and, in large part, ignored.  Considered just a part of doing business, mobile expense is rarely considered when a company is looking to save on overhead. 

To save money on mobility, it’s important to first understand the costs associated with the various wireless carrier plans.  If you’re managing hundreds of wireless devices, this task can quickly become overwhelming without the help of an expert, like MobilSentry™. Our platform is designed to uncover impressive cost savings but will also help streamline processes through cost allocation and wireless expense reporting capabilities.

It is one thing to read through and fact check invoices.  To understand the costs associated with your wireless plans takes analysis.  Without proper analysis, how else will you know if you are spending more than you should?  This is where the cost savings comes in.  When you are spending more than you should, MobilSentry™ will flag those costs savings.   Cost savings typically appear as zero use devices, overpaying on rate plans and high data usage allowing you to make the proper adjustments thus decreasing your wireless spend.

Let MobilSense pinpoint exactly where your cost is being directed by highlighting excess data use or flagging rate plans that need adjustment to better accommodate your user base.

MobilSentry™ Translates GBs into Dollars

We have observed in virtually every MobilSense customer a rising frustration with the inability to control the trend of more and more data usage.  The mobile lifestyle of consuming information through short video news clips, rich content on YouTube and even video clips in mobile apps means video streaming is here to stay.  The challenge for companies is to increase situational awareness of its corporate data users around how they are using cellular data and empower them to make informed choices.   Since mobile data usage is linked to the overall cost, enterprises must be able to translate consumption into dollars and see how it contributes to the top and bottom lines. MobilSentry™ shows organizations where they can save money and lets them tweak data consumption on the fly.

Because actions are logged in MobilSentry, it is simple with each monthly invoice to identify the before and after differences related to management oversight, notifications, and even stricter category caps and limits. The effects of reducing data usage are quantified in real invoice dollars, not theoretical cost estimates.  No solution today can provide this granular view of correlated cost savings like MobilSense.
