Carousel Industries Teams with Xigo to Provide Its Customers Free Wireless Communications Expense Management Tools
Clients Derive Instant Cost & Time Savings with Carousel’s Cloud--based Platform Powered by Xigo
Manassas, VA and Exeter, RI – April 12, 2011 – Xigo, the cloud-based solution that simplifies management of enterprise telecommunications costs, and Carousel Industries, a leader in data networking and converged communications, today announced that Carousel will provide Xigo’s wireless telecom expense management tools to its customer base. This first-of-its-kind service is being provided at no charge by Carousel as a way to attract new business and offer existing Carousel clients another level of cost reduction support through powerful yet easy to use tools that immediately yield savings benefits.
Xigo’s family of products includes Xigo Now, a do-it-yourself cloud-based wireless telecommunications management platform that instantly delivers actionable recommendations for managing wireless telecommunications expenses. Xigo’s radical departure from traditional telecommunications expense management (TEM) products provides elegantly simple yet powerful tools to reduce mobile communications expenses. Typical TEM engagements can be prohibitively expensive to all but the largest companies and can take as long as nine months before any results are delivered. Using Xigo Now, a Carousel client can quickly upload wireless bills and get savings recommendations in minutes.
“In today’s economic climate, our clients continuously challenge us to bring more innovative solutions to the table,” commented Stephen Forest, Director of Carrier Solutions at Carousel Industries. “Managing wireless communications expenses is one of our clients’ more painful issues. Xigo’s offerings help our clients save money immediately instead of weeks or months from now. That leads to greater client satisfaction which ultimately turns into more business.”
Xigo is backed by more than a decade of expertise that spans wireless and wire line communications. The company’s cloud-based network cost management platform proactively addresses changes in business needs without the complexity of multiple technologies. Clients electing to take advantage of Carousel’s wireless expense management tools by Xigo have a choice:
Xigo Now: An instant, self-service, mobile focused expense management application that saves time and money in relation to companies’ mobile phone investments. Xigo Now delivers the features that meet the complete needs that 90 percent of companies require to effectively manage their mobile expenses -- for free.
Xigo Pro: For companies with more complex mobile telecommunications needs, Xigo Pro offers an affordable, self-service expense management application to handle the more complicated workflow automation tasks associated with mobile device, plan and carrier costs containment.
“Carousel has distinguished itself as one of the premier and forward-thinking telecommunications integrators in the industry and we’re excited to deliver a valuable solution that will further solidify its place at the top,” said David Snow, CMO of Xigo. “Carousel clients taking advantage of Xigo-powered wireless expense management tools will enjoy immediate mobile costs savings and instantly gain control over sprawling devices, plans and other issues associated with enterprise mobile telecommunications. Providing Xigo products as a complimentary offering to Carousel’s client base makes sense for us because more companies will quickly learn that telecommunications expense management doesn’t have to be expensive, hard to use or take a long time to implement and see results.”
