This leading manufacturer for the renewable-energy, conservation, residential, industrial and infrastructure markets had over 1,000 lines across dozens of subsidiaries — each with its own needs, so a one-size-fits-all approach was impossible.

Every subsidiary managed wireless independently with no central policy, producing excessive waste: over-purchasing of equipment and sub-optimal rate plans on virtually every line. The corporate team was too stretched by daily business to optimize wireless across the whole organization.

By designing and implementing nationwide management policies, Telecom Department time managing wireless dropped over 60%, and real-time monitoring of transactions, changes and usage produced substantial additional savings.

Services that drove the result

Custom carrier contract and pricing negotiation that ended overages entirely
Project management and onsite rollout assistance with quote evaluation
Nationwide standardization of default free devices and procurement enforcement
International services cost savings
Centralized ordering from 37 locations to one point of contact
Merged each subsidiary’s billing into a single account per carrier
Real-time daily ordering, moves/adds/changes and asset management
Real-time high-usage alerts and dedicated help desk
In-Building Coverage issue resolution and enhancements for multiple locations

Dozens of disparate accounts were merged into one foundation account grouped by organization — standardizing rate plans and reporting while still billing each subsidiary separately.
