The Challenge
Each arm within this company’s family of businesses manages its own Information Technology services and systems. The company, as a whole, has a core team of a few individuals that support the organization’s staff, field operations, network services, application management, and cyber security protection.
As with many organizations during COVID, enhanced cyber security threats placed an immediate strain on the company’s IT teams. This left their IT teams with little time for daily, tedious tasks. A significant frustration point for them emerged in their cellular services. They rely on their cellular services to enable remote work and field-based staff. Then, out of nowhere, due to “bulk service” billing, their costs started going up with little transparency. They couldn’t get a direct answer from their reps and didn’t have the time or resources to dig too deeply to figure things out.
The Solution
Televon’s Mobile Management Service provided the perfect solution. Televon’s trained experts and cellular analytics tool quickly organize, analyze, and identify cost issues. At the same time, it creates a platform to manage mobile devices, service contracts, and spend.
With our service, the construction company hoped we could stabilize their monthly expenses by getting to the bottom of vague billing, while also getting an understanding of how devices were being used.

$2.6 Million 10 Year Projected Savings

The company had to sign 4 documents (Televon’s Contract + 3 Carrier Letters of Authorization LOAs) and create 3 user accounts (one for each carrier). A total of 1 hour of work to save massive amounts of future time.
The implemented savings are recurring, not one time.
Televon focuses on reducing costs for services you buy and use, not trying to get you to switch to new services.
