Cost Saving Opportunities in the Wireless Telecom Services Market

The adoption of various cost-optimization levers helps buyers of wireless telecom services realize direct cost savings and enhance category management and value benefits (including reduced procurement complexities).

Technavio procurement experts have segmented the cost saving opportunities in the wireless telecom services market into the following value-enhancement opportunities:

  • Adoption of technology
  • Supplier Competition
  • Adoption of negotiation strategies
  • Optimization of procurement practices
  • Bundling of services

Adoption of technology saving aspects

Adoption of technology such as voice over Long Term Evolution (VoLTE) helps reduce voice tariff spend significantly to the extent of 6%. Large organizations look to partner with providers that offer reliable networks regarding consistent connectivity and network coverage. Buyers measure providers' performance by analyzing metrics such as call drop rates, network outages, and consistency in access to data services.

Adoption of negotiation strategies saving aspects

Adoption of negotiation strategies function as levers for quick-wins and help to optimize total cost of ownership (TCO). Several global surveys conducted in 2015 have found that approximately 70%–75% of customers want tailor-made price plans, while only 10%–25% felt that their current service provider offered such plans.

Personalization unlocks opportunities for telecom operators to develop and deepen the relationships with existing customers offering a good mix of voice, text, data, hosted servers, and online payment services.

Bundling of services saving aspects

One of the most opportunistic strategic cost saving levers in the global wireless telecom services market is that wireless telecom can be bundled with managed services (maintaining companies' network equipment).

With the sharing of data, voice, and videos across a vast network of interconnected systems, customers demand digital ecosystems that are governed by a comprehensive data privacy policy. Service providers must ensure that the sensitive personal information transferred over their networks is protected.
