Managed Mobility Services

Across the world, more and more large enterprises are opting to outsource the management of their communications devices and services in order to simplify operations and reduce cost.

Savings realised from Managed Mobility Services can range from 10%-30% of an enterprise’s total cost of ownership of mobile devices.

Managed Mobility Services include the ordering of new equipment, the technical support of users, the optimisation of communications plans, and overall operational reporting.

MarketsAndMarkets estimates the global market for Managed Mobility Services to be worth US$ 11 billion by 2019, and growing at 30% per annum.[1]

The Bluewater™ system is a fully integrated Mobile Resource Planning system, spanning all five dimensions of the managed mobility domain: procurement, security, assistance, control and governance. Bluewater™ provides comprehensive and measurable business outcomes in all aspects of mobility services.

“Mobile communications, if not managed in a planned and automated way, can mire organisations in layers of hidden bureaucracy around expenditure, approvals, services and optimisation”, said Julie Atwal, President and CEO, Telestar Communications. “Gartner reports that for every dollar a large enterprise spends on telecoms carriage, they spend at least another dollar on internal manual processes to manage it all.[2] Bluewater™ is specifically designed to overcome these bottlenecks and costs, and liberate the enterprise to focus on its core business.”
