Original Press Release:



Quickcomm Sets New Industry Standard for Global Telecom Expense Management



Next-generation global telecom expense management software helps enterprises immediately reduce IT costs

NEW YORK, June 2 /-- Quickcomm today unveiled the next version of its leading global telecom expense management (TEM) solution, Quickcomm Enterprise, enabling enterprises to achieve higher cost savings in provisioning, billing and inventory departments without the need to purchase additional software or services. Quickcomm Enterprise is the company's new Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution that provides an unprecedented level of automation across wireless TEM, landline and data expense management systems.

Quickcomm Enterprise incorporates new rich features that will help users better understand and manage their telecom expenses. Through the dynamic Adobe Flex architecture, the solution produces robust and meaningful views of telecommunications infrastructure and equipment, contracts, inventory and lifecycle management, billing and optimization analysis. Managers in the provisioning, billing and inventory departments will now be able to easily communicate all service updates automatically, empowering teams to control the telecom procure-to-pay process of their global enterprises.

The new solution also enables individual purchasing decisions with easy-to-use mobile store fronts. For employees, or "internal customers" in need of new phones and other devices, managers can allow them to shop via the mobile store fronts in Quickcomm Enterprise, setting user controls to ensure corporate policies are being met. The solution also automates internal customer management with user profile settings, service ownership information, feeds from HR systems, spending trends and locations.

"Our research indicates that 49 percent of TEM customers rate industry software interfaces as poor or failing," said Joe Basili, vice president of research at AOTMP. "This new release from Quickcomm builds on a strong interface. It also adds new functionality that customers are telling me that they are seeking."

The launch of Quickcomm Enterprise also marks the introduction of the company's new industry initiative aimed at manager-level employees seeking better ways to streamline administrative processes so they can focus on the core areas such as cleaning up inventory, disputing errors and optimizing the infrastructure. To support ongoing education of global TEM, Quickcomm will launch a series of customer-focused webinars, including full demos of Quickcomm Enterprise, to showcase the system in an interactive forum.

The new webinars will showcase how managers can automate the following tasks efficiently:
-- Centralizing and auto-assigning a queue for each user of all activities across provisioning, contracts, invoices and service inventory.
-- Notifying the right people at critical points during the lifecycle management stage, such as when invoices do not arrive, a service order is late, or a large contract is about to expire.
-- Consolidating and converting all bills to electronic data, automatically loading and analyzing every bill to the penny.
-- Ensuring inventory is the key and drives the value for all landline and mobile services.

To fit the varying needs of individuals, Quickcomm Enterprise also features customizable dashboard reports that provide clear global spend and inventory visibility across carriers, service types, costs codes and locations. The dashboards provide the critical situational assessments needed to understand telecom spending patterns, and identify the irregularities needed to address and resolve them. In support of centralizing all TEM activities on a global scale, Quickcomm Enterprise also integrates with other business processing systems, and takes advantage of more than 300 electronic global bill readers to manage international TEM.

"Before automated TEM, finance managers manually processed telecom spends for multiple locations and multiple departments," said Mark Evans, president and CEO of Quickcomm. "Add to that the constant tracking of equipment and services from cell phones to tie lines, and you can easily end up in a black hole. We're taking one giant leap ahead today with Quickcomm Enterprise, essentially giving finance teams of multinational businesses the ability to manage it all themselves on a global scale - quickly and intelligently within a great-looking reporting tool."
