Case Study: Wireless Cost Optimization for a Top 100 Accounting Firm

How Group9 saved a national accounting firm over $50K annually by renegotiating wireless contracts and pooling mobile resources

The Challenge

A Top 100 Accounting Firm was spending approximately $130,000 per year on wireless services across its growing team of professionals. Despite working with a Tier 1 carrier, the firm lacked visibility into cost-saving opportunities such as rate optimization and data pooling. Their wireless bills were unpredictable, and they had limited insight into device usage across the organization.

The firm turned to Group9 Communications for a no-cost wireless audit to uncover savings and bring spending under control.
