Wavelink Adds Real-Time Telecom Expense Management For Mobile Devices

Avalanche Expense Management enables proactive management of data, voice, SMS and roaming usage to substantially reduce telecom expenses

Wavelink Corporation recently announced it will begin offering proactive, real-time telecom expense management (TEM) as part of the Wavelink Avalanche family of products. Wavelink Avalanche Expense Management proactively monitors, reports and analyzes data, voice, SMS and roaming usage so businesses can recognize potential overages and analyze usage patterns, which could drastically reduce their telecom expenses for mobile devices.

Real-time expense management from Wavelink is unique in that it goes beyond traditional TEM products that allow customers to analyze past billing data. With Wavelink Avalanche Expense Management, organizations can get real-time data on network and data usage and proactively manage their telecom and wireless costs. Users and network administrators can be alerted when devices are potentially about to incur higher costs associated with roaming, plan overages, large data transfers and changing usage patterns.

"Telecom expenses are difficult to manage because costs can vary based on monthly usage, but IT departments are still responsible for meeting a fixed budget," said Stephen Bemis, Wavelink vice president of worldwide sales. "Avalanche Expense Management allows them to proactively manage their costs and prevent unnecessary expenses. The best part is that it typically pays for itself within the first month just from eliminating carrier overage charges."

Users are able to easily monitor their own data, voice and text usage on their device with a quick summary as well as the ability to drill down on specific details of their usage. In addition to seeing real-time usage, administrators can easily generate reports in order to optimize their calling plans. Location tracking and roaming control can be used to track devices that are roaming to minimize unexpected overages as well as to locate lost or stolen devices.

Wavelink Avalanche Expense Management is now available as an add-on service to Avalanche through Wavelink and its partners. It can be used in conjunction with Avalanche or as a standalone solution. For more information, visit http://www.wavelink.com/p/expense-management.
