The next webcast titled, Taming the Tablet Tiger, is Wednesday, June 15 at 11 AM Eastern Standard Time or 3 PM GMT.  TEMIA’s guest speaker, Elizabeth McKee, vice president of telecom sourcing for MDSL, will review the critical information and comparison data necessary to bid and evaluate tablets for enterprises and other organizations. This discussion will also include considerations necessary to evaluate the potential budget impact of tablets and taming runaway costs for international roaming.

“Traditional approaches to wireless vendor analysis – comparing current costs against proposed costs for the same service – no longer work because mobile data usage, according to Gartner, will grow by over 61% between now and 2015,” stated Elizabeth McKee, vice president of telecom sourcing for MDSL. McKee added, “while there is no single solution for tablets (and smartphones), there are definite actions that you can take, which we will discuss in the webinar.”

Joe Basili, managing director for TEMIA stated, “This upcoming webinar is part of a growing number of programs which help fulfil TEMIA's central mission of promoting the value of telecom expense management through education and marketing. TEMIA member companies are well-positioned to address best practices, performance metrics, and industry standards.”
