To serve as technology consultants to our clients, we need to stay up to speed with the latest IT trends and solutions. To achieve that, our team of IT experts attends weekly training sessions conducted by various IT solution providers. Based on our extensive experience and sales volume with the suppliers, we receive exclusive, direct and usually in-person training from these suppliers. Our Tech Talks blog series offers a snapshot of these educational sessions.
A healthcare provider with 106 continuing care sites and 92 hospitals in 22 states contacted one of our partners for assistance managing over 6,000 mobile devices with three carriers. The client initially had more than 100 distinct billing accounts and faced difficulties overseeing rate plans. Data utilization was skyrocketing by 200 percent per year.
Our partner consolidated all their billing accounts to only three (one per carrier) and right-sized their rate plans bi-monthly, identifying the optimal plan for each number based on data usage. They also put together a reconciliation report for each consolidated account detailing the costs for each number based on usage. Finally, our partner helped establish mobile policies concerning approved devices and gave each employee access to a portal for device procurement and support request submission.
Ultimately, our partner’s managed mobility services helped the healthcare provider achieve more than $10.5 million in data cost avoidance savings over 44 months.

Our technology consultants recently met with this managed mobility services supplier’s sales team to review their portfolio and discuss how they save clients time while slashing spending and improving security.
