What Is Complete Mobile Management?

Read More About Management

Basic mobile management is a system for monitoring all of your wireless telecom services for cost, usage and efficiency compared to alternatives. This type of mobile management, while useful, is still incomplete. A complete professional mobile management solution combines the above with customer service, procurement and regular adjustments to your telecom services to improve their cost effectiveness. Most importantly, complete mobile management systems keep you in the loop so that you not only save money, but understand where your savings are coming from.

According to mobile management firm GILL Technologies, implementing a complete solution isn't easy, and most companies should engage a specialized telecom expense management firm. Not every telecom expense management firm offers a a truly complete mobile management solution, however. Look for the following characteristics to assure that your company is hiring a firm capable of delivering a complete management system.

Bill Auditing: Most telecom expense management firms include bill auditing as a core service – without it, they couldn't provide expense management services. Nevertheless, you should examine a firm's reports and proposals for completeness. It's especially important that the company be able to detect billing errors and other unusual patterns in usage and billing. Otherwise, your provider won't be able to provide the most cost effective management.

Mobile Management Software: Mobile telecom services are complex enough that they're best understood through the use of specialized software applications. Mobile management software can consolidate, sort and interpret data to make it understandable for the average manager and mobile telecom specialists. The exact nature of this software will vary from one firm to the next. For example, GILL Technologies Tele-Watch system uses a software as a service approach, where the application is hosted “in the cloud” so that it can be accessed by web browser. Whatever the application, it should be capable of cross-referencing billing, usage and services from multiple carriers.

Procurement: A complete mobile management system includes hardware procurement and upgrade services. Since the provider already knows your service needs, it can source the best possible options for handsets, headsets and other equipment. The mobile management system can also prepare for future upgrades, since it stores information on the date hardware was originally acquired, warranty lengths, and any services that come up for renewal that present the possibility of also acquiring new hardware.

Tech Support: A mobile management solution also deals with hidden expense sources. Chief among them is downtime, when a phone won't work, or a staff member doesn't understand how to use a critical feature. Customer service staff should be able to help the employee find a solution or if the problem is based on malfunctioning hardware, procure a replacement. Integrating support into mobile management saves time that would otherwise be spent on hold with the carrier or manufacturer. Instead, the management service provides direct support or acts as a liaison with whoever can find the solution. Skilled mobile telecom experts take your place on hold and acquire superior support and concessions from carriers.

Once you find a provider with these characteristics, the next step is to see if the price is right and a long term relationship is possible. If so, go for it – savings and smooth service will follow.
