STRATEGIC SOURCING: Strategies for the Mobile Enterprise
On Tuesday, April 29, Invoice Insight conducted a webinar to review strategic sourcing. Understanding that enterprises must take the dynamics of their environment into consideration in order to achieve an efficient mobile enterprise, we discussed best practices and strategies for negotiating with your wireless carriers, including:
- How to Secure the “Leading Edge” of the market!
- Common fatal mistakes
- Mobile enterprise negotiation tips, traps and myths
- Structuring deals that include data services
- Approached to unbundle devices and services
- Tips to evaluate any carrier offer
During each webinar, Invoice Insight conducts several polls of our audience – which includes a variety of government and commercial organizations – to better understand how they are managing wireless and what their key challenges are. The following is a summary of each of our polls, as well as the results.
Poll 1: What is your Single Greatest Frustration with Wireless Carriers?
Participants in our webinar indicate several mobility-related frustrations, with cost control and carrier billing issues leading the way. End user support is also a significant challenge.
Poll 2: Have you been asked to sign a new, restrictive, NDA by your Wireless Carriers?
About one-fifth of our audience had been asked to execute an NDA which would limit their ability to work with third parties to manage their wireless expenses.
Poll 3: How much do you spend on international roaming, as a percentage of your domestic spend?
The majority of our audience spent a relatively low amount on international roaming and long distance, though a number of organizations noted that it was a significant portion of their overall mobility exepenses.
Poll 4: What is your single greatest mobility management challenge?
Clearly, cost management and device management & support are the leading mobility management challenges for the enterprises that participated in our webinar.
