By: William Dorn / Source One Management Services, LLC Source One Management Services, LLC Announces Wireless Management Program Clients ask for help in managing Cell Phones, Blackberries and other Wireless Devices WILLOW GROVE, Pennsylvania – January 17th, 2007 – Rapid growth in wireless devices over the last five years has left companies searching for resources and methodologies to manage the spend category. Wireless spend is increasing in significance for many companies as these devices become pervasive. Tracking device inventory, active users and coordinating wireless plan minutes is evolving into a time consuming and costly task that most companies don’t have the time or resources to get to. In response to this dilemma, Source One is rolling out a comprehensive program to assist companies in gaining control of their wireless spend. The five actions for managing a wireless network: • Validate inventory and verify periodically that every service and line billed is assigned to a valid user. • Centralize the administration process so that specific individuals make changes or initiate new orders. • Review usage and usage patterns to confirm proper rate plans and promotions for: - Peak minute usage - International LD and Roaming - Unlimited Nights and Weekends - Data Services - Add-on services Each carrier requires a slightly different investigation. This Review should be done monthly. • Evaluate new carrier plans and promotions. This should be done monthly. • Create and monitor contract expiration list. This should be done at least twice yearly. “We believe that this broad program will help companies to reduce wireless costs while providing better control and management of wireless devices”, said Steven Belli, CEO of Source One.
