"Wireless Procurement" module launched by MDSL

The new Wireless procurement module strengthen MDSL offering in the wireless cost management market

London - New York - Tokyo - September 17, 2005 - the widespread use of mobile phones, Blackberry and other wireless devices has brought problems of control and expenditure. In fact, it is estimated that many companies can pay up to a third more than necessary for their wireless fleet.

The problems are complex and derive from the way mobile services have evolved over the past decade combined with the lack of a single pan-European service provider. Consequently, multinational companies have traditionally allowed the control of their mobile fleet to be dispersed among various sites, regions and countries, often with different departments responsible for the acquisition of airtime, the procurement of handsets and the payment of invoices. This complexity has added to the difficulty of maintaining contractual arrangements and working relationships with a wide variety of mobile service providers across international frontiers.

Without an effective procurement solution, organizations are forced to rely on paper-driven and often error-prone purchasing processes that waste time and money. Frustration with system inefficiency reduces user and supplier engagement and lowers compliance to preferred suppliers and contracts. Frequent maverick buying hampers visibility and the ability to effectively leverage spend. Organizations are also often prevented from making meaningful or sustained improvements due to a lack of widely available crucial spend data and best practice knowledge.
