- Insight and Vision on Mobility Provide Dutch Enterprises With a Financial and Strategic Advantage

Mobile working is playing an ever-increasing role in business life. Organizations that endorse flexible working find that productivity and employee satisfaction increase, while sickness and resignation rates decrease. However, mobile working has cost implications for organizations; it is estimated that companies spend between 1,000 and 4,000 Euros per employee per year on fixed, mobile and remote working telecommunications costs. This trend drives companies to explore new ways of working that increases growth while containing and/or reducing telecommunications costs.

Industry leader Avaya, a global provider of communications applications, systems and services, and Ezwim, a leading European Total Telecom Management (TTM) provider, have partnered to offer customers the new and innovative Mobility Test (www.mobilitytest.com). This test identifies mobile telecom savings and employee productivity improvements and helps enterprises to establish a business case for enterprise mobility. It assists the CFO, Controller, and/or Telecom Manager with their 2007 budgets by surveying the company's current mobile telecom spend and readiness for flexible working against end user needs, establishing a financial baseline and mapping results free of charge.

Following the Mobility Test, the customer has the option of a six week pilot, which provides an in-depth business case highlighting areas where the customer can realize 20%-60% cost savings and then the option of reinvesting these savings in the business or towards next generation technologies such as mobile data, VOIP, Blackberry, and remote access for telecommuters. The mobility test is underpinned with statistical data used from the Dutch government and benchmark data from the Ezwim database.

Ron van Valkengoed, Managing Director of Ezwim, states, "Ezwim helps companies to gain insight into telecom cost and take control by introducing cost and service management tools. The www.mobilitytest.com was designed to raise awareness of telecom cost in the organization and providing solutions." He adds, "This test provides the customer with an illustrated, concrete business case based on end-user profiles, and the direct improvements required to reduce this spend and making enterprises future ready."
