SUCCESS STORIES

COMPANY "M" -
This enterprise is a large financial services organization with over 600 locations in the United States. COBITE was contracted with to provide complete cellular phone management on an outsourced basis. The company has three primary vendors, AT&T, Verizon and Nextel. Total number of devices was estimated at 1,100.

 
     
 
   
Initial optimization results on two of the vendors reduced spend by nearly 52% from $55,000 to $26,000 monthly.
   
Approximately 7% of the phone count was unused phones.
   
As part of the bill consolidation process, over 700 phones from one vendor were identified as “personal liability” that should have been “corporate liability”.
   
 
     
  The identification of the 700 additional phones allowed the customer to negotiate a better contract with this vendor resulting in additional savings. Department heads now have access to cell phone users to determine if the company should be paying for their phone and what the monthly costs to their departments are for these devices. One month of savings paid for the system for the entire year.
