Vodafone Global Enterprise provides solutions to address the
issues of cost control, increasing complexity and poor visibility
that often hamper effective mobility strategies.
By offering Mobility Process Management on top of
Communications and Mobility Solutions, we are able to take
the more traditional transactional and commodities-based
vendor relationships currently offered by the telco industry
to a new and more strategic level.
Mobility Process Management includes the provision of
resources such as complex programme and business process
management and advanced technical support. They also include
operational management processes such as enhanced reporting,
ordering and logistics and enhanced mobility solutions.
Are you in control of your mobility costs? In the face of increasing
pressure to do more for less, the costs of enabling mobility have
become a strategic issue.
Aberdeen Group benchmarked over 2,000 different organisations
all over the world to determine their ability to manage their
telecoms expenses and control their telecoms environments.
By doing so, their primary research has determined best practices
based on what your Best-in-Class peers are doing.
There are few vendors that are truly positioned to provide
a complete solution that provides the people, processes,
technologies, and managed services that global companies
need to optimise their telecoms environments and match the
25% savings that Best-in-Class companies achieve on their
global spend.
The issue is very real and our Managed Communications provide
solutions to put you back in control of your mobility costs.
Vodafone Global Enterprise can provide a range of solutions
depending on the specifc needs of your organisation, ranging
from core mobility solutions through to our fully managed
Vodafone Telecoms Management solution.

Our approach is designed to ensure that Vodafone Telecoms

individual services can upgrade to get a more integrated
view of their fxed and mobile expenses and that should be
reassuring for current and potential customers.
