The greatest challenge to the enterprise is the fast pace of change in the mobility environment. Our network of advisors have been on each side of the table as service providers, clients and as objective advisors.
The options are many and NSA sees the first priority is understanding the environment including inventory and trend analysis before digging into the costs. There are five areas that NSA can engage immediately to streamline your environment and reduce costs.
The least intrusive place to start is a benchmark of existing services leading to the most complex engagment which includes a bid process of existing agreements.
RFPs are not limited to carrier negotiations, NSA advisors provide insight and advice on M2M, TEM, MDM, Helpdesk and the rest of the alphabet services.
There are many changes coming to the TEM space as confusion in the market is driving a need for standardization of terms and services. Business Intelligence capabilities, more useful analysis and increased demand for ROI will drive the TEM industry options to shrink through attrition and mergers as clients demand more for less.
NSA Advisors believe all of 2011 and into 2012 will have a shaking out effect on the industry. Smaller players will find it difficult to compete at the reduced rates.
At NSA we believe that working with our partners and affiliates enhances the value they bring to their clients.
NSA has a high mutually beneficial compensation based on a shared fee approach. We believe that sharing the benefits makes all of us more competitive, gives increased returns to our mutual clients and drives a deeper more meaningful relationship with a high return on investment.

NSA’s team members are capable of leading the entire RFP process or work in the back ground providing your team with the market data and advice needed to support your negotiations. We are experienced and capable of working in either environment.
The key to every successful engagement is working for a strong foundation of information; no two sourcing engagements are the same. While sharing similarities the nuances of your corporate environment, technology plans, and vendor relationships all shape rules of engagement and ultimately the outcome. Without understanding these variables and adjusting tactics accordingly the end result is failure….
