Telicost Portal Launches New Features To Protect Businesses From Mobile Bill Shock

Oct. 13, 2011 - PRLog -- Anomalous Networks, Inc., the innovator and leading supplier of Real-Time Telecom Expense Management™ (R-TEM) solutions, today launched the latest version of its Telicost portal to give small and large businesses alike, added intelligence in managing telecom expenses in real-time. This new and improved Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering will cost-effectively offer greater insight into real-time mobile usage activities and trends for voice, data, SMS and roaming. Company administrators will not only receive real-time usage reports and alerts, but will also have the ability to predict future costs allowing them to avoid “Bill Shock.”

“We are giving our customers a lot more granular detail on usage trends and in particular roaming usage with this release” said Anomalous Networks CEO Daniel Rudich. “Bill Shock is hitting the masses and Telicost is a simple, affordable solution that immediately pays for itself.”

With much more reporting options, customers will benefit from the following new features:
• International roaming history – roaming activity per user/device such as date, time, country, provider and consumption.
• Geo-fencing – providing alerts when devices/users exit or enter specified locations.
• Data export capabilities – easily export Telicost data into other databases or other TEM systems.
• Usage-over-time reports – customers can look back on usage history by day, week, month or year to help determine usage trends.
• Usage comparison reports – customers can compare Wi-Fi vs. cellular usage, usage between employees, and usage between different platforms (ex: do iPhone users consumer more data that BlackBerry users)
• Enhanced pooling reports – many more pooling options and plan options have been added to address the growing footprint of global plans supported by the Telicost solution.  
• New anomaly alerts – including large voice, data or SMS usage, predicted overages, increased and decreased activity of both local and roaming usage.  

Why Invest in Telicost?
Telicost provides a measurable ROI within the first month of use by providing businesses with a centralized view or dashboard of their aggregated telecom expenses in real-time with streamlined reporting on data usage, international roaming, usage anomalies and asset location tracking. In addition to predicting and preventing upcoming telecom costs, users gain real-time visibility and control over their mobile work force. The administrator will be able to see projected end-of-month costs before the costs are actually incurred as well as enforce usage policies to ensure the user cannot exceed spending limits.  

Individuals looking to monitor personal smartphone usage for free can download Telicost-Lite to receive alerts on overages directly to their mobile phone. Simply download the app at www.anomalousnetworks.com.
