How To Use Occam's Razor to Shave Your Company's Wireless Communications Budget

These are complicated and difficult times. It is said we are living in the Information Age. Yet the information often is not good news. The technology, applications, and communications devices are evolving with lightning speed while your wireless spend is increasing exponentially. When you look at your carrier invoices this is becoming increasingly evident. In this age of complexity I yearn for simplicity.

Occam's Razor
That is where Occam's razor comes in. In layman's terms Occam's razor is "the simplest explanation is more likely the correct one". It is also called the Law of Economy or Law of Succinctness. I'm a simple guy, I like simple answers. Let me state with succinctness, Life-cycle Wireless Expense Management is the simple law of economy for solving those complicated issues surrounding corporate wireless device usage, asset management, & cost optimization.

Wireless Asset Management
Consider Occam's razor on Wireless Asset Management: Only allowing corporate permitted and approved wireless assets into the corporate inventory, from an automated solution accounted for in a centralized data base (eProcurement) is the simplest means to accomplish the greatest possible good. Succinctly speaking, outsourcing this process to procurement professionals who use cutting edged solutions, centralizing the data (for reporting purposes) while meeting all negotiated SLA's, is the simplest way to achieve process efficiencies and a cost savings on this 'cradle' aspect of a Wireless Expense Management (WEM) cradle to grave solution.

Help Desk
When you add a professional automated Help Desk to the centralized eProcurement process you have taken great strides towards continuing to maintain the integrity of your company's wireless inventory. Increasing employee time/labor savings and significantly improving end-user customer satisfaction is a wonderful best practice by-product of your automated Wireless Asset Management program.

Wireless Cost Optimization
How would Occam's razor shave off unnecessary spend from your wireless budget? Well, Occam's razor will not optimize anything but the decision-making process. However, Occam would smile on this simple truth, an automated software application combined with the professional best practices approach of a life-cycle Wireless Expense Management program will result in real-time/labor/cost efficiency savings. Likewise your WEM solution will produce hard definable savings through both optimization of wireless services and cost avoidance initiatives. Without life-cycle Wireless Expense Management wireless spend in many corporate entities is expanding rapidly while profits are decreasing, this is a simple fact. I am sure Occam would question, why should you or your corporate execs settle for a budget trim when through a WEM program you will clearly shave off all the unnecessary time/cost spend associated with your company's wireless environment? Check out a Wireless Expense Management strategy today. Test Occam's razor and prove to yourself that this WEM solution is the simplest means to a great cost cutting solution.
