Rate plan optimization

The Intelligent Phone Bill keeps your mobile operator bills low – automatically.

In the Intelligent Phone Bill service, your organization’s every mobile subscription is profiled on a continuous basis and the most cost efficient rate plan for each individual is chosen automatically. This is called optimization.

On average optimization cuts the mobile phone bill by -20% with immediate effect.

As Alekstra’s Intelligent Phone Bill customer you get automated optimization as a continuous service. You can rest assured that the optimal services are always valid for your organization’s entire subscription base.

Even though the operators constantly change their pricing models, you employ new personnel, and you deploy new mobile devices, with the Intelligent Phone Bill’s optimization service your phone bill costs stay at bay. Optimization also minimizes the risk of unexpected costs that can occur as the users change their mobile usage pattern.

You are also spared from paying for unused services and subscriptions, which account for roughly 10% of a typical organization’s subscription base.

Optimization means selecting the most cost efficient pricing model and services from the operator’s product portfolio based on each user’s actual traffic. Alekstra’s optimization covers domestic calls, domestic sms’s, domestic data transfer, and roaming voice and data.

The optimal service package for each subscription is selected from the standard product portfolio offered by the incumbent operator – therefore optimization can be done easily and quickly without any need to renegotiate your organization’s valid operator agreements.

Every subscription should be optimized even after a successfully renegotiated operator deal, since individually optimized packages and services are considerably more favorable than fixed, one-size-fits-all, prices offered by the operator.

However, the full benefits of optimization cannot be achieved without a systematic analysis by using intelligent optimization software. Deploying a manual process would simply be too slow, unreliable, time consuming, and costly. Continuous analysis of thousands of subscriptions every month and maintaining a database of hundreds of operator products at each time requires computational power and efficient algorithms.

Alekstra’s Ratemizer™ software analyzes more than 100,000 corporate subscriptions every month. Each subscription is analyzed individually to detect any changes in the user’s phone usage or operator pricing models. When Ratemizer™ finds a more optimal service package for a certain user, the subscription is updated. This change starts saving money immediately and can be witnessed as a lower phone bill already next month.
