What to do when management says: cut mobility costs!

Telco costs are typically 3% of revenue, and one of the top five costs for Australian business. This makes them a prime target when management go hunting for company-wide savings. 

Cutting the cost of mobility will have a significant impact on overall bottom-line telco costs.  But there are many barriers to cutting the cost of mobility.

The speed in the growth of mobility, constantly emerging new technology, cross-function responsibility for the mobility budget, and a legacy of systems struggling to cope with increasing mobile complexity, often hamper the ability of Australian business to tackle the task. 

So when management says: cut mobility costs!, where do you start?
