Rapidly expanding use of cell phones is a fact of life because of the powerful business efficiencies they provide. But industry analysts have pegged the increased cost of that expansion at up to 30% per year. It’s no wonder that companies are turning to McMartin Engineering for help in improving control and lowering their wireless costs. If wireless continues to expand at your business, you are likely dealing with issues similar to the ones listed here:

• Mismatched Plans
  Users aren’t on the most cost effective plans, so companies pay their vendors more than they need to.
  
• Inventory Management
  The dynamic nature of wireless device management causes companies to incur costs for phones and charges they can’t account for.
  
• Administration Overload
  The job of managing phones has been bounced around from IT, to Purchasing, to HR. Nobody wants to do it because of the drain on resources.
  
• Policy Administration
  Users are causing significant extra cost because of a sense of entitlement, and because there is no efficient mechanism to control expensive non-business use.
  
• Company vs. Employee-Liable Phones
  This dilemma has plagued wireless managers for years. Both options have advantages and disadvantages, and neither solution is an end in itself.
  
• Pooling
  The promise of reduced costs through shared minutes is not being realized because of corresponding increases in pricing formulas.
