mindWireless Telecom Expense Management Saves $250K Annually on Text Messaging for a F-500 Company
Houston, TX, October 28, 2008: It took only a few hours for mindWireless to analyze the text message (also known as SMS) usage of a Fortune 500 client and identify $250,000 in annual savings.
CTIA reports that 75 billion text messages are sent every month. Wireless carriers are now under the microscope of a U.S. Senate investigation into industry-wide price increases for text messaging. Until the investigation is concluded, however, enterprises face rising prices and rising use of text messages.
"Wireless communications devices are becoming increasingly important in the day-to-day operations in all businesses, but this growing reliance can increase costs and threaten security if not managed properly," said David Wise, managing director and founder of mindWireless. "While the cost per minute of voice services has decreased, the growing use of data services, text messaging and downloads have increased significantly - in some cases doubling. All of our clients are seeking ways to reduce these costs and still maintain service to their customers and staff. They use mindWireless WEM (Wireless Expense Management) services to keep their costs in check."
As iPhones, Google phones and other smart devices find their way into the enterprise, growing security issues and the growing use of data services, text messaging wireless downloads make it critical for all enterprises to implement a detailed corporate wireless policy. mindWireless works with its clients to develop, communicate and manage the policies for procurement, usage and management of all wireless devices, including cell phones, smart phones, air cards and pagers.
With its exclusive focus on wireless expense management services (WEMS), mindWireless serves a rapidly growing roster of Fortune 2000 clients to boost bottom line profitability by optimizing and streamlining all processes related to wireless device usage.
