"One Fortune 1000 customer transferred its employee-liable devices to corporate-liable and, with our wireless expense management (WEM) solution, soon discovered after the consolidation that they were a specific carrier's second-largest customer in the U.S."
Uh, huh. A Fortune 1000 company is one out of 1,000 ... and yet there are millions of businesses and most too small to even represent a blip on the radar screen of a typical carrier.
The articles is not only premised on the idea that all businesses considering these options are large businesses, but that there is only one model. For example, a company may choose to subsidize employee phone costs eliminating the risk of 5,000, or in the real world, more likely 50, employees submitting invoices every month.
As well, such a model provides a business with a known cost every month for cell phone usage. The big factor in corporate liable phones isn't the flat fee paid for the basic service supplied to each phone, but all the extra costs (roaming, LD, premium texting, etc ...) that occur each month.
