The Only Constant in Mobility is Change
Mobility managers are in charge of everything from ordering new devices to managing carrier plans to defining security and mobility compliance policies for their organizations. As companies grow and the mobile device environment fluctuates, it’s easy for mobility departments to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of variables they have to manage.
AMI can help:
- Create predictability in your wireless spend month over month
- Implement an accurate source of truth for inventory, usage, and spend that’s always up to date.
- Optimize your current mobility spend and implement cost-avoidance measures
- Provide a self-service support experience for all end users enrolled in your program
What Can Mobility Hyperautomation Do For You?
Finance
Reclaim capacity, ensure every dollar is accounted for, and never spend more than you're supposed to. Our technology streamlines the entire invoice lifecycle process including collection, processing, audit, allocations, organizational reporting, approvals, and payments giving you peace of mind and time to focus on your core business.
IT
End-to-end governance, security, management, and control of all mobile devices and their associated costs, including centralized ticketing and always up-to-date inventories. With happy executives and end-users, no news is good news, allowing you to focus on other initiatives.
Procurement
Gain negotiating power and ensure every contract is strictly adhered to. With AMI's extensive global database, we benchmark your rates against organizations of similar size and negotiate the best rates with your service providers. Every invoice is then SmartAudited against your contract to ensure nothing slips between the cracks.
Fully-Integrated Inventories
Inventory That's Always Up to Date
Ready for a single source of truth across your global mobility portfolio? By combining contract, invoice, device and user data, AMI provides 360-degree visibility into users/locations/groups and their corresponding hardware, software, services, costs and usage which is instantaneously updated with MACD activity through our bidirectionally integrated ServiceNow app.
Automated Financial Operations
Allocate, Approve & Pay
Once processed and inventoried, all invoices are allocated against cost center and GL coding at the lowest granular level and integrated back to your ERP for approval.
With an average allocation delivery time within 24 hours of invoice receipt, AMI delivers fully coded invoices back to our customers for approval and payment weeks before the invoice due date, allowing them to unlock early payment discounts and incentives.
Cost Containment
Audit, Optimize & Dispute
Your wireless invoices have tons of pages to comb through and are sometimes filled with all kinds of surprises when you open them up, right? We get it. In constantly changing mobility environments, it’s not easy to stay on top of if your corporate wireless spend with spreadsheets and other homegrown tools. AMI’s combination of automation and analyst expertise brings predictability and peace of mind to your wireless program:
- SmartCMDB™ technology auto populates your inventory with new, anomalous, or missing rate plans, charges, subscriptions and devices and flags them for review by our analysts.
- SmartAudit™ technology flags anomalous and zero usage, avoidable fees, orphaned ESN’s and any behaviour that doesn’t seem right.
- Unvalidated charges are filed for dispute with your carrier and managed by our analyst team until they’re resolved.
- Pooled and standalone subscriptions are right-sized based on usage trends, with corrections made mid-cycle before the next invoice hits so you’re never blindsided by unexpected fees again.
