MDSL Telecom Expense Management Road Show to visit New York, Houston and Chicago in February 2012
Ben MendozaLondon, New York, Paris, Tokyo, Gothenburg and Hong Kong: MDSL, the leading provider of international Telecom Expense Management (TEM) and Market Data Management solutions, last week announced that it is taking to the road in 2012 to showcase to the North American market the new developments in its market-leading TEM software suite, MDSL Smart TEM and MDSL Smart MDM.

MDSL will be joined by leading independent information provider, AOTMP, who will be presenting their latest findings on the TEM industry and the key trends to watch for in 2012.

The Road Show visits New York on Tuesday February 21; Houston on Wednesday February 22 and Chicago on Thursday February 23. It consists of a series of breakfast seminars, timed to finish by midday so that delegates can be back in the office by the afternoon, where existing users and potential customers can catch up on the latest developments in the TEM market, share experiences and best practice, have their questions answered in one-to-one sessions with MDSL’s panel of TEM specialists and see demonstrations of MDSL Smart TEM and MDSL Smart MDM.

Ben Mendoza, MDSL CEO explained: “While MDSL is an international organization, the USA is one of our most important markets and we’re always keen to find companies who want to get a better understanding of the benefits a TEM solution can bring them”.

He continued: “This is the culmination of several months’ research into customer needs and feedback from users groups around the world, with the findings incorporated into the next-generation Smart TEM and Smart MDM solutions which we’ll be launching at the AOTMP Conference in February and demonstrating at these events”.

Under the banner “Avoiding the Pitfalls – the Smarter Future of TEM”, a highlight of each event will be the TEM User Panel, where existing customers and industry specialists will take part in a moderated discussion of what goes to make a successful TEM deployment and some of the hazards to avoid. Existing MDSL customers will be available to answer questions on every aspect of investing in and installing TEM solutions in their respective organizations.

Whether they already have a TEM solution or are simply considering one, the Road Show agenda has been carefully planned to offer the best opportunity in 2012 for delegates to:

•              Shine a light on the secrets of successful TEM deployment

•              Take away practical, actionable ideas to use in their day-to-day operation

•              Discuss their situation in one-to-one meetings with MDSL experts

•              Meet their peers and exchange ideas and tips on TEM best practice

•              Learn from one of the leading independent TEM consultancies about the state of the TEM market-place and some of the key challenges facing the industry

•              See hands-on demonstrations of the latest MDSL Smart TEM and Smart MDM solutions, to learn how they can assist in their businesses

MDSL Smart TEM includes major changes to the user interface, making it significantly easier for the user to find and manage information. New risk management and optimization tools simplify tasks for administrators, while a new open-API platform enables seamless integration with both internal IT infrastructures and adjacent management products from third party vendors.

MDSL Smart MDM marks the first implementation of the new open-API approach and extends the capabilities of MDSL Smart TEM for the first time into the Mobile Device Management (MDM) market, enabling users and administrators to visualize and manage the use and security of global mobile devices over the air, in real-time, from a single intuitive interface. Operating as a stand-alone tool or as part of a total TEM solution, MDSL Smart MDM’s modular construction allows it to be seamlessly integrated into the overall telecom lifecycle management process.

Philippe Lignac, MDSL TEM Sales Director, commented: “This event marks a major step forward in TEM and MDM solutions for the telecom market as a whole. We’re extremely pleased with the feedback we’ve received on the pre-release versions from our pilot groups, and are now keen to make sure that our users, potential customers, the analyst community and the media all get the chance to judge the results for themselves and hear our plans for 2012”.



Timothy C. Colwell, SVP of Global Information Management, AOTMP, added: "MDSL scores very highly in our December customer satisfaction survey, achieving a 95 per cent score for customer satisfaction from senior management of large organizations and enterprises deploying its TEM solution internationally. We are therefore delighted to be sharing a platform with MDSL to bring more attention to bear on the efficiencies and savings achievable by large enterprises implementing TEM best practice throughout their businesses".

MDSL unveils the future of Telecom Expense Management on US Road Show

LONDON, NEW YORK, PARIS, TOKYO, GOTHENBURG and HONG KONG, January 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

MDSL, the leading provider of international Telecom Expense Management (TEM) and Market Data Expense Management (MDEM) solutions, today announced MDSL Smart TEM,the latest version of its market-leading TEM solution.

MDSL Smart TEMwill be revealed to the public for the first timeon February 13 at the annual AOTMP TEM Conference, before forming the focal point of aUS road show touring New York, Houston and Chicago.

Philippe Lignac, MDSL TEM Sales Director, commented: "This marks a major step forward for the telecom expense management industry. We've spent a number of months working with our customers to understand what they see as the shortcomings of current solutions on the market, and MDSLSmart TEM is designed both to address those issues and to meet their needs now and into the future. We believe the new solution is nothing short of game-changing for the TEM industry".

At the heart of MDSL Smart TEM'sapproach are six core principles:

1. Make it easier to find the right information, first time
2. Save time by automating repetitive tasks
3. Streamline the working day by matchingthe user interface to the individual's role
4. Let the system analyze spend and automatically alert the user to any exceptions  
5. Improve decision-making with powerful, easy and reliable reporting
6. Empower the user to make their own reporting and change requests

Furthermore, MDSL Smart TEM adds a whole new level of functionality by, for the first time, integrating Mobile Device Management (MDM) capability with the core TEM function, allowing users easily and securely to control and manage all their wireless devices and applications from within a single application and TEM database.

Ben Mendoza, MDSL CEO, said: "This is a new way of delivering telecom expense management. Smart TEM transforms the way TEM is implemented within the enterprise: first, by making information much easier to access and action and, second, by making it tightly integrated and conformant with the customer's existing internal IT systems and practices. MDSL Smart TEM becomes another key component of anIT shared services environment".

He continued: "This is good news for both our users and our channel partners. It dramatically simplifies the process of implementing a TEM solution within the organization, and puts TEM at the very centre of the customer's shared service provision".

Timothy C. Colwell, SVP of Global Business Analytics, AOTMP, commented: "Half of all enterprises cite improving telecom service and asset visibility as their top international TEM objective, and 41% cite reducing international telecom cost as their mainpriority. The six core principles at the heart of MDSL's approach with SmartTEM are well aligned to supporting enterprises in meeting these goals".

Initial six-month project extended after MDSL achieves savings in excess of $1 million and automates the firm’s mission critical client connections for Equities trading division.

We will deliver the same level of transparency and cost containment to their worldwide telecom spend as we did for the Americas.

LONDON, NEW YORK, TOKYO AND MACAU (PRWEB) MARCH 3, 2010

MDSL, the leading provider of international telecom expense management (TEM) solutions, announced today that it has been selected by a top-ranked securities and investment firm to help manage its multi-million dollar telecommunications spend worldwide after an initial six-month sourcing and vendor management project for the Americas yielded savings in excess of $1 million.

“Over the last 15 months, many organizations have been charged with reducing costs. As a result of using our expense management software and telecom consulting services, our client has met many of its targets including significant reductions in vendor overcharges, a drastically reduced invoice processing cycle (from 30 days to 24 hours) and improved line-item reporting to internal clients and end-users,” says CEO Ben Mendoza. “Our remit has now been broadened, and we are in the implementation phase of a long-term global project. We will deliver the same level of transparency and cost containment to their worldwide spend as we did for the Americas.”

“The key to our success is data integrity.
