"Under increasing financial scrutiny and ever tightening budget constraints, our clients must streamline their wireless operations and reduce costs," said Kevin Whitehurst, co-founder and managing director of mindWireless. "We've taken our already robust management services and analytics to the next level with mW SMART. Now it is simple for our clients, even those with 10,000 or more cellular devices, to gain the real-time and trend information they need to make strategic spending decisions."

New mW SMART Technology Platform Optimizes Wireless Management

With a Web-based dashboard that gives anywhere/anytime access to user-defined, key performance indicators (KPI), the mW SMART technology platform improves strategic decision making. Partnering with Sogeti USA for development of mW SMART, mindWireless refined its proprietary software and analytics to provide greater user flexibility. Every mindWireless client can adapt the portal-style dashboard to match its own operating style.

Coupled with mindWireless' best practice process solutions, mW SMART delivers:

--Extreme drill-down: Click on any data point in any report and drill down to any level, even to individual call detail.

--User-defined data display: Role based security access lets users define what and how data will be displayed for them.

--Flexible functionality: Plug-in functionality expands the ability to optimize and analyze changes, manage procurement and provide extreme data detail.

--Quicker availability of carrier data: Streamlined data loads and analytics enable users to react faster to changes in their wireless program.

--Optimized software platform: Redesigned data structures, process flows and new portal interface, using the highly flexible Microsoft .NET framework, enhance reporting and ease-of-use.

Convergence Drives Need to Streamline Wireless Operations

As PCs and cell phones converge, wireless communications are having a greater impact on business operations and expenses. Companies that rely on a distributed or highly mobile workforce will be especially affected. Industry reports estimate that the wireless telecom expense market will grow dramatically in the next five years as businesses turn to wireless management vendors for help.

By applying sophisticated statistical models to cellular phone usage data, mindWireless has exceeded industry averages by delivering savings of 17-40 percent of total wireless expense in the first year through centralizing and optimizing wireless management services.

mindWireless services deliver:

--Increased management visibility: More detailed user data for better decision-making, planning and budgeting.

--Improved asset management: Businesses can learn how every device is used.

--Reduced costs: Corrects the 30-40 percent of corporate wireless users on the wrong rate plan or not taking advantage of available discounts.

--Automated Manual Processes: Processes thousands of invoices and reduces the high cost of wireless management as it frees up valuable internal resources.

--Ensured compliance: Clearly identifies personal versus corporate use and provides auditable documentation to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley and other tax regulations.

--Enhanced customer experience: Solves issues faster with a single-point-of-contact for wireless management for one or many carriers.

Selected by IDC as one of "Ten Emerging Wireless Players to Watch in 2005," mindWireless has won or expanded work with Fortune 500 clients like Shell(R), Dupont(R), ChevronTexaco(R) and Time Warner in the last 24 months.

mindWireless is offering a free trial to show to customers how they can harness similar savings within the first month of a mindWireless program. For a Web-based mW SMART demonstration, call 713-429-1100.
