Manage Wireless Assets with Telecom Expense Management Solutions

Most companies using telecom expense management initially deploy the system to manage the wired assets and traditional phone bill expenses. Today, TEM solutions are capable of managing much more than just the traditional telecom services. Not only is TEM a crucial component for managing wired assets but also wireless devices such as cell phones, mobile broadband cards, wireless components, etc. One of the greatest benefits of a TEM solution is its ability to simplify the process of cell phone provisioning, contract compliance and asset management.

Cell phones are an essential business tool and every successful business offers the latest handsets to their employees. As the use of cell phones and other wireless devices dominate the business world, telecom expense management solutions develop more sophisticated functionality to properly account for inventory and constant updates in pricing and service plans. Whether a company assigns mobile phones to some or all employees, telecom expense management is a necessary tool for keeping track of cellular and wireless assets.

As wireless grows and starts to become a monster to manage, then you will quickly see the value in implementing a telecom expense management system to handle all of the wireless components. Consider a traditional telecom network with a mountain of invoices and a sea of wired lines including voice, data, Internet, private line, MPLS, 800 numbers, etc. and how telecom expense management helps keep things in order. The wireless inventory may not be as large but it may be even more difficult to manage because of the constant changes, modifications and additions. A telecom expense management system incorporates the entire telecom lifecycle including inventory management, provisioning, tracking services, and negotiating service contracts. All of these telecom expense management components apply to mobile phones and wireless services as well. Sometimes these aspects of telecom expense management are even more important for wireless than for traditional telecom services.

If you don’t have a telecom expense management system to manage your wireless assets, then you are in danger of paying far too much for your cell phone service due to unnecessary costs. If it is possible for minor, traditional telecom services oversights to add up to 15 percent of a telecom budget, just think how much more is lost without a telecom expense management solution to keep track of the ever changing wireless inventory, service rates and various plans. Unlike traditional telecommunications services where services are used primarily in the office, making telecom expense management relatively easy, wireless assets are much harder to track and manage because they are mobile.

Instead of just letting the chaos continue with a lack of wireless asset control, growing companies with telecom expense management solutions can now incorporate the wireless assets and keep track of expenses with the same control as any other telecommunications service. Telecom expense management can help save money not just for wired telecom services like voice, Internet and data but also cell phone services, provisioning, wireless service contracts, and geographically dispersed mobile phone inventory.
