SUCCESS STORIES

COMPANY "A" -
This enterprise is a large provider of security systems in the United States and internationally. They contracted with COBITE for a one-time optimization for approximately 9,100 of their 14,000 cell phones. All devices were from Nextel and had been previously optimized by the vendor. COBITE reviewed three months worth of data for the phones and came up with numerous interesting results.

 
     
 
   
Although the phones had been optimized, we were able to reduce monthly spend by 24%, from $661,283 to $500,577 by optimizing to “best fit” plans across the enterprise.
   
We were able to identify almost 8,000 hours of calls from cell phones to company internal 800 numbers. By eliminating these 800 numbers and utilizing POTS lines, the company saved over $25,000 per month.
   
We identified 975 phones with zero usage for 3 months. 530 of these devices were on plans ranging from $29.99 to $119.99. By putting these devices on a hibernation plan, we were able to save an additional $28,600 per month.
   
 
     
  In total, the company was able to realize hard dollar savings of over $214,000 on a monthly basis. In addition, we were able to deliver reports to vice presidents, regional managers and employees on a monthly basis. This allowed the people who are charged-back for these expenses to be more proactive in managing the costs. Return on investment was over 1175%.
