Wireless Expense Reduction: AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile
How Anilix reduced AT&T Wireless, Verizon Wireless, and T-Mobile costs for an international consulting firm by more than 55%.
Our client had approximately 1,500 devices and initially directed Anilix to review other areas of telecom because existing Client personnel were managing these expenses. After a small trial project yielded 20% savings, the client quickly asked Anilix to review all wireless expenses, ultimately yielding more than 55% reduction in cost.
Process
This project included three phases:
Phase I (2 Months)
Trial period to evaluate all international-related charges
-
Optimization of Roaming Plans and Day Passes. Total Annual Cost Reduction: 8%
-
Optimization of U.S. to international Calling Plan Usage. Total Annual Cost Reduction: 12%
Phase II (3 Months)
Evaluate all other expenditures for mobile devices
-
Rate plan and feature optimization. Modified user’s rate plans, based on their historical usage, employing a combination of contracted, public, and non-public plans. Audited and removed unneeded features. Total Annual Cost Reduction: 19%
-
Audit of zero-usage devices. Identified possible unneeded devices, validated their status, and disconnected appropriate devices. Total Annual Cost Reduction: 4%
Phase III (18 Months)
Lead negotiation of new AT&T contract
-
Negotiated new rates. Based on Anilix’s proprietary knowledge of AT&T contracts for other Anilix customers, negotiated new rates in high-impact areas. Total Annual Cost Reduction: 12%
