Renewal / RFP Support We have several methods of optimization review and approval, and these same notification processes apply equally to rate plan changes for lines within the same carrier as for those projects, which require changing carriers. Our rating engine software was originally developed to be a competitive Rate Plan Analysis. Because the decision to switch lines from the current carrier to another carrier is a major decision, typically involving a great deal of costs and potential disruption to employees, the recommendation needs to be correct, credible, and compelling, and above all easy to understand. We have had years of experience developing our software design to show everything necessary to make a clear decision about approving the suggested rate plans. We will work with your company and its carrier(s) to implement all approved contract optimization recommendations to ensure that your business achieves overall cost reductions by conducting competitive rate plan analyses and compliance with your wireless policies on an ongoing basis. Our wireless life cycle management expertise may be used to assist your company's wireless managers in negotiating the optimum terms and conditions of new or revised carrier contracts. Benchmarking eOnThe Go evaluates rate plan types on a cost-per-minute and cost-per-line basis for the following verticals:
Rate Plan Strategy Our Rate Plan Strategy Process includes reviewing the contracts of all carriers associated with your company's lines and taking the first steps to conduct a rate plan analysis within each carrier. Subsequent steps may include conducting competitive rate plan analysis in which each line's current rate plan is compared with various rate plans of other carriers in an effort to determine cost savings opportunities. If you have a good Rate Plan Strategy that fits your business, you have the best value, and if not, you overpay, typically by 30-50%. We will ensure that your company's wireless needs are optimized by utilizing our wireless experience in overseeing compliance with carrier contracts for achieving the best cost savings. We will support and provide substantive expertise to each of your company's wireless managers in negotiating carrier contracts. We use our NetChange Report each quarter to identify and mediate billing discrepancies, to ensure that carriers have made the recommended and approved rate plan changes for each line and applied discounts on new lines. We also evaluate estimated costs and savings with actual costs and savings and otherwise ensure that the beneficial features, terms, and conditions of contracts with each carrier are realized. |
