Effective Cost Per Minute: Measuring Success in Wireless Expense Management

Overview Business and government organizations are becoming increasingly adept at developing and implementing policies that control their wireless expense. The success factors in controlling wireless expense include: having employees make purchases under the corporate discount agreements negotiated with the providers, closely matching employees' calling plan minutes to their actual business calling needs each month, and making employees aware of their wireless usage at specific usage thresholds to enable them to avoid exceeding their plan's allowance. Many metrics are available to assess the success of an organization in controlling wireless cost. Among these are: average cost per user, number of zero usage accounts, rate per minute, total wireless spend trends, and many more. The true test for success of wireless expense management is Effective Cost Per Minute (ECPM).
