A whole new approach to managing your telecom expenses

Where we came from

Invoice Insight (now Xigo) was born out of the late 90's telecom deregulation. The emergent industry became loosely known as TEM (Telecom Expense Management). The primary focus of businesses like Invoice Insight was to find errors in carrier billings and recover those billing errors on behalf of our customers. In reality, TEM really only made sense for larger companies with lots of fixed and mobile devices. The deployments can be quite complex and time consuming taking as long as a year to realize any savings. The business plans for these companies were largely reactive e.g., looking backwards to what had already happened, and remediating it. Don't get us wrong, it was and still is a good business and we're quite good at it.

However, this legacy business is different today. "Telecom" today is really a proxy term for "network" or in our case the edge of the network. We prefer to think of ourselves as a "cloud based network cost management" provider but a really terrific term for what we are doing now, sadly, has not yet been invented. It's on our to-do list.

Where we are today

Think about the world today. Carriers have made huge improvements in reducing the breadth and complexity of their billing systems (although most remain plenty complex). They've also gotten smarter too – some of it's good for you, some of it quite frankly is self-serving.

On top of that, the edge of the network is the center of business. The days of "cell" phones are long gone. Today's mobile devices are smart and getting smarter; they come in various shapes and sizes, in all sorts of speeds and feeds, and they all sit at the edge of your corporate data network. Applications and the data plans that they ride on are fast becoming the revenue driver for the carriers and at the same time a big and growing expense item for you.

Your challenges in mobile expense management have now become:

• How do you manage this tidal wave of edge-connected devices?
• How do you know if you're paying too much to keep your workforce connected and productive?
• How do you determine if paying for certain plans and devices even make business sense?

The answers to these MEM questions were the genesis of Xigo, and they required us to radically re-think our business and how we can help our clients.

What we can do for you

Xigo takes a proactive approach to mobile expense management. In fact, we can actually provide "instant results." No longer do you have to wait months to start saving time and money. With Xigo's technology, you literally can have a plan of action to begin saving in 10 minutes or less. In the mobile world, things are moving fast. There are lots of knob and dials that affect your costs and that complexity is amplified by the number of people in your workforce that are covered by your policies. Mobile expense management is no longer a reactive remediation endeavor; it now requires proactive vigilance to keep costs in check.

In fact, the issue isn't really even cost management any more – the added complexity and light-speed changes in the industry mean that managing it all has become a full time job. Problem is, it's not your ONLY full-time job. So saving management time is now even more important than line item costs savings. Xigo's self service solutions were purpose-built to provide convenience and save administrators time.

Xigo is also out front in providing a cloud based SaaS platform. Xigo is able to scale up or down based on customer changing needs because it was built from the ground up as a real SaaS platform. All of Xigo's solutions fit neatly within this unified platform – mobile and fixed -- and are accessed from within the cloud versus other approaches where a customer's changing needs usually mean a migration to yet another platform.

Xigo's solutions are incredibly effective and reliable. However, you don't have to take our word for it. Xigo was the first (and only) company to launch a free self-service, self-administered mobile expense management solution that provides instant results. The solution is called Xigo Now and it is designed to provide 100% of the features that 90% of most companies require to manage their mobile expenses. Xigo Now is free, that's right: free.

That's our story so far… we transformed ourselves to transform an industry.
