traq-wireless
and Teligistics Partner to Blend Landline Expertise With Enterprise Wireless
Management
AUSTIN and
HOUSTON, Texas - June 17, 2002 - traq-wireless, the leading provider of
enterprise wireless management solutions, has partnered with Teligistics, a
leading telecommunications cost management and containment consulting firm, to
enable enterprises to control the costs of their entire telecom environment.
Teligistics and traq will partner to provide clients with a complete solution
for wireless and wireline audit, analysis and optimization of usage and costs.
Leading, bottom lined oriented companies today utilize telecommunications
management software and consulting services to organize, analyze and optimize
their wireless users, usage, devices, carriers and associated costs. The
combined offering will provide an impressive 40-60% savings in annual telecom
service costs, best practices for management reporting, and employee policy
enforcement and carrier accountability. Additionally, customers will have the
ability to use this combined solution to reduce the cost of their telecom
providers, ensure consistent terms and conditions across suppliers, and provide
a process for ongoing asset and expense management.
Together, traq and Teligistics have assisted Fortune 1000 Companies to reduce
wireless, local dial tone, long distance, and data expenses while streamlining
the overall operational costs and management processes. Companies are taking
advantage of wireless capabilities as a competitive differentiator and to
enhance employee productivity. However, the overall costs and ROI are rarely
fully realized. Both traq and Teligistics are bringing years of experience and
sophisticated software to control and contain cost for corporations that
realize the increasingly important role telecommunications plays as part of
their normal business operations.
"The combination of enterprise wireless management and landline expertise
provides an incredible value to our joint clients," said David Roberts,
President of Teligistics, "We understand our customers need both wireline
and wireless costs savings. Partnering enables the best of both
capabilities."
Jim Offerdahl, traq President added, "Knowing that wireline is a staple of
everyday business needs, making the jump to wireless is unwieldy. Companies now
need to ensure complete telecommunication management for overall efficiency and
traq is the best-of-breed solution for wireless management."
