Mobile Voice and Data

High Impact Mobile Expense Management Services

Convergence delivers a high-impact solution to reduce the costs, mitigate risks, and tackle complexity associated with managing the mobile environment for any size organization.

Industry analysts estimate that mobile services account for billions in overcharges annually paid due to incorrect rates or undetected billing errors, at the same time mobile services are the fastest growing of all telecom expenses.

With no operators having an international or global footprint large enterprises and multi-national organizations have been deprived from a solution to internationally manage, control and optimize mobile expenses and negotiate contracts.
