A business needs to be fit, agile and disciplined to thrive in an age of unrelenting digital transformation. Getting your mobile telecoms environment into shape is a smarter way to improve your organisation’s competitiveness and efficiency. Here are a few principles your business can adopt in its mobile telecoms environment to simplify operations, reduce costs, cut wastage and get future-fit:
Take a health check
You would generally start a fitness journey by benchmarking your weight, strength and stamina and setting goals for the future. Likewise, you’ll want to start a mobile expense optimisation programme by auditing your current environment. Perform a comprehensive audit of your mobile device fleet as well as your voice and data costs to understand your current situation. From there, you can set goals for improvement.
Consult a knowledgeable ‘personal trainer’
A personal trainer can help you to create a tailored fitness programme for your goals, while a nutritionist can customise a diet to your needs. In much the same way, an independent, knowledgeable company with specialist mobile expense management expertise can guide your company towards better performance and lower costs in your mobile environment.
Seize the initiative
Taking the initiative is a sure way to succeed with a health and fitness programme. Likewise, you’re assured to achieve the best results from your mobile strategy when you’re proactive about optimising costs and performance. Cutting edge tools and technology can help you proactively manage your environment and prevent bill shocks. For example, you can send users automated notifications when they’re approaching their usage limits throughout the month.
Get moving
To keep fit, you need to get moving. When it comes to your mobile environment, automation is a key enabler for faster, more scalable and more accurate telecom expense management. Cutting edge mobile expense management solutions will help you to automate processes such as expense tracking and cost allocation as well as simplify operations. This helps your teams focus on business fitness rather than busy paperwork.
Trim the fat
Smarter companies are looking to trim the fat in their business without compromising its strength, speed or agility. Just like it’s easy to gain weight by eating empty calories, it’s all too easy to run up telecom costs that add no value to the business. Subscriptions that are no longer in use or that were never really needed, overbilling, and personal usage of company resources are all common sources of wasted spend. A future-fit organisation can trim a lot of fat by implementing a culture of optimisation and accountability when it comes to mobile spending.
Focus on the holistic view
We recognise that health is multi-faceted, encompassing mental and physical wellbeing, exercise, diet, sleep and more. With your mobile telecoms environment, it’s helpful to take a similarly holistic view. Look for cutting edge solutions and implement processes that help you manage the spectrum of your IT and telecoms environment, including enterprise mobile services. A comprehensive platform will enable you to commission and manage infrastructure, keep tabs on resources, track cloud consumption, and allocate inventory right across the IT and telecoms environment.
