The Omnia Group, a\ndiversified chemicals group that supplies chemicals and specialised services\nand solutions for the agriculture, mining and chemical application industries, has\ndeployed Apex BI\u2019s Technology Expense Management (TEM) platform, Clarity, which delivers detailed insights\nacross the entire group through to user level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The meta data Clarity attributes\nto each user is vital in enabling Omnia to understand quickly where the\nparticular owner of a SIM card lives within the organisational hierarchy, and\nwhether or not their consumption and related expenditure, are in line with\ntheir job function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not only does the\nOmnia Group try to limit the consumption of materials and resources used in its\nmanufacturing processes, but it also works to create value continuously through\nits products. This approach is equally mirrored internally when it comes\nto the consumption management and internal value creation relating to its\nmobile environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elaine\nJanssen, Omnia Group Procurement Officer, said: \u201cWe needed the tools\nnecessary to enable us to pinpoint and validate the primary cost drivers and\ncontribution areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cClarity\nhas provided us with the level of insight necessary for the effective transfer\nof accountability and visibility to the relevant stakeholders. It also\nfacilitated the implementation of strategic, and most importantly, informed,\nfact-based decisions. An example of one of the decisions that we were\nable to implement quickly was the deployment of enforced usage policies via\nClarity, for certain user groups. This resulted in substantial savings.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According\nto Nick Inward, National Account Manager, Apex BI, Omnia sought a means to\nincrease stakeholder accountability; acquire greater control over its mobile\nusage; decrease costs through enhanced visibility of consumption in all of its\ntechnology services, and access insightful data in support of informed\ndecision-making processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is\nexactly where TEM and specifically Clarity have a significant role to play,\u201d\nsaid Inward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clarity\noffers a plethora of features and functionality benefits including single view\nacross all mobile providers; benchmarking and performance tracking. Before and\nafter analysis is made easy, and cost accounting and internal reporting are\nimproved. It provides objective insights; measurable, tangible, high impact\ncost savings and allows informed decision making. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spreadsheets\nwith disparate information across the stakeholder environment are eliminated.\nThe system has the ability to lock user SIM cards if the predefined business\nrules and policies embedded in the deployed software, are transgressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSimply\nput Apex BI customers benefit from the power of knowing,\u201d added Inward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThey\ncan log into a sophisticated online single source of information that provides\nnear real time foresight preventing bill shock, in other words changing\ndecision making from reactive to proactive.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
