VODAFONE TAKES A LEADING POSITION IN TELECOM EXPENSE MANAGEMENT
Vodafone Global Enterprise the business within Vodafone which manages the communications needs of its largest multinational customers today announces the acquisitions of two telecom expense management (TEM) companies: Quickcomm and TnT Expense Management.
Multinational companies require full visibility and control of both fixed line and mobile spending as they grow, shrink or change the scope of their operations. Vodafone Global Enterprise already has a strong track record in expense management and these two acquisitions will propel Vodafone into being a leading TEM company for multinational organisations.
Quickcomm, a leading developer of TEM software, is headquartered in Sydney, Australia and has offices in the US, UK and Singapore. Quickcomm will continue to sell and provide ongoing support for its products, as well as becoming a fully integrated part of the Vodafone Telecoms Management solution.
TnT Expense Management is a leading services provider of TEM. It is headquartered in Sandy Hook, Connecticut and has offices in New York, the UK, Germany and France. Its managed telecoms expense service, based on expert analysis as well as automated bill processing, will be a strong addition to Vodafone Global Enterprises existing services team.
The value of the gross assets being acquired are US$6.9m for Quickcomm and US$2.8m for TnT Expense Management.
Our 570 multinational corporate customers tell us that they want Vodafone Global Enterprise to help them reduce cost, increase visibility and improve management control across their global footprint, said Nick Jeffery, CEO of Vodafone Global Enterprise. These acquisitions will benefit our customers by providing even greater visibility and control of their fixed and mobile spend and this, in turn, will further the business case for multinationals to adopt unified communications solutions.

VODAFONE EXCEEDS 1
MILLION USERS OF ITS HOSTED COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE
FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES
· One Net customers benefit from: reduced costs, less administration, scalability to match their businesss needs and the ability to respond 24/7
Vodafone today announces it has more than one million users of its hosted One Net service in Europe, as growing numbers of Small and Medium Enterprises seek to gain competitive advantage by bringing their fixed and mobile communications together.
In the current challenging economic climate, small businesses recognise that they need to be even more responsive to the needs of their customers and One Net enables them to field calls both quickly and efficiently, wherever they may be.
Small and Medium Enterprises are also achieving considerable cost savings by handing the management of both their fixed and mobile communications needs to Vodafone. Significantly, cost savings are also realised because all calls between One Net company handsets both fixed and mobile are free.
As One Net is a rental-based solution, priced on a per user basis, it is highly attractive to Small and Medium Enterprises because it requires no capital investment. The current economic environment has made this hosted service even more appealing to businesses. Vodafone One Nets scalability enables customers to easily increase or decrease the number of connections to match changing staffing needs within their business.
Through its advanced call management system, the One Net service allows users to answer calls to their business on either their fixed or mobile phone, the ability to transfer calls between phones or to any other phone within the business and benefit from one combined voicemail box.
Also, One Net reduces the administrative burden for Small and Medium Enterprises through its simple per-user, per-month charging system together with one monthly bill covering all of the businesss communications needs.
Hosted voice has become increasingly popular in the current macroeconomic climate because it offers flexibility, low risk and cost control said Angela Salmeron from IDC, the leading industry analyst firm, in a report* published in August 2010.
Vodafones One Net service is in the forefront of the rapidly growing market for Cloud Telephony, which provides customers with hosted, scalable fixed and mobile communications solutions.
The One Net system utilises Vodafones sophisticated IP Centrex telephony system, which enables this high level of integration between fixed and mobile phone handsets. The recent success of products such as Vodafones One Net service has contributed to an upward revision of IDCs IP Centrex services forecasts. Its August 2010 report reported We see this market taking off over the forecast period. IP Centrex is the fastest-growing IP voice service in Western Europe, and it is expected to be worth $3.6 billion (2.6bn) in 2014. This is a compound annual growth rate of 47% in the period.
Vodafone has taken a leadership position in this emerging market for Cloud Telephony. This market is taking off because customers can now be more responsive to business enquiries, manage their communications costs more efficiently and - being a hosted solution - they can spend more time focused on their own business, said Tom Craig, Vodafones Business Services Director. The service enables smaller companies to compete alongside their larger rivals by giving them all the call handling capabilities they will need without a significant financial outlay. In addition, it offers a transparent, per-user charging model across both fixed and mobile phones.
