Greenville, NC – June 10, 2020-  Communications Lifecycle Management (CLM) and Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) One Source announces the acquisition and successful integration of strategic partner Alliance Communication Management.  Headquartered in Mobile, Alabama, Alliance’s business contributes substantial cultural and service-related commonalities to One Source. Both businesses were founded in 1997, specializing in Telecom Expense Management (TEM) and rooted in the southeast.   

The integration of Alliance further enables One Source to deliver an end-to-end managed service offering. The acquisition enhances existing Managed Mobility Services (MMS) capabilities while adding extensive kitting operations and enhanced eBonding capabilities, allowing One Source to leverage a direct-to-carrier automated data exchange process for processing orders and handling trouble tickets. Since the acquisition of Alliance in February 2020, One Source has already greatly expanded mobile kitting operations, doubling the management of mobile devices and surpassing the companies’ historic industry-leading expertise in wireline and VOIP services.  Kitting is often utilized for onboarding new employees, refreshing/upgrading new mobile devices or rolling out new field initiatives.  It ensures that all mobile devices are set to consistent standards, secure and ready to be used immediately – and delivered consistently across every hire, every time. One Source mobile kitting service provides centralized and efficient procurement, configuration, and Mobile Data Management (MDM). It provides real-time awareness of device fulfillment, inventory and delivery status, with reporting insights to ensure full alignment of delivery timelines. Each device is configured exactly to customer preferences and unused inventory is stored, ready to launch when needed.        

“Alliance has enabled One Source to close the loop with a truly soup-to-nuts Communications Lifecycle Management services offering.  As remote workforces become a new normal for many businesses, One Source is well-positioned to procure, inventory, configure, secure, package and deploy mobile devices, while right-sizing service plans and technology to reduce costs” explains Tim Meng, CEO, One Source.      

About One Source
One Source’s end-to-end Communications Lifecycle Management (CLM) offering is a necessary evolution from traditional telecom expense management (TEM) that addresses the financial, technical, and compliance issues associated with telecom billing, device management, and support challenges in an increasingly connected world. As organizations juggle wireline, wireless, security and next-generation technologies, there is great benefit to having one vendor manage your portfolio holistically to ensure greater cost savings, right-sized technology needs and inventory management. One Source drives a very trustful long term and hyper-responsible customer partnership, yielding a 99% retention rate with an average customer tenure of 12 years.

One Source views its inclusion as emphasizing One Source’s capabilities in areas beyond fixed and mobile management

Greenville, N.C. (Sept. 17, 2019)—One Source Communication, LLC has been profiled in research firm Gartner’s 2019 Market Guide for Telecom Expense Management Services.

One Source Communications is one of 11 representative TEM pure-play vendors for regional delivery profiled in the report.

Gartner stated, “TEM is a specific, but challenging function within IT and cost management. TEM providers are evolving their offerings as enterprises’ ranges of fixed (voice and data) and mobile devices grow and incorporate other services and communications-related asset tracking. These offerings include inventory tracking of cloud/consumption-based services; other IT-related services, such as unified communications and collaboration (UCC); voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP); and IoT expense management as enterprises embrace digitalization.”

One Source further specializes in Managed Security Services and Managed IT Services, including implementing cloud solutions and next-generation networking such as SD-WAN, as well as “as a service” platforms such as SaaS and UCaaS.

More midsize enterprises (organizations with less than $1 billion in revenue) seek to control their telecom, mobility, cloud and other communications costs, but find that many technology management vendors do not target their specific requirements. 

One Source serves enterprises in North America spending between $500,000 and $50 million each year on communications services, and supporting anywhere from 500 to 40,000 devices – and it does so with a fully managed approach. With dedicated specialists, One Source provides real-time solutioning, service delivery, and full lifecycle management. All this includes portfolio optimization, sourcing, ordering, procurement, expense management, bill payment, usage optimization, cost recovery, service and support help desk.

“Midsize enterprises have unique technology and budget needs and concerns that certain telecom expense management vendors just can’t address,” said Kirk Waddell, executive vice president of technology at One Source. “We specialize in this space, and we bring years of experience, knowledge and proven company stability to our clients. We’re very proud to be part of Gartner’s newly published report.”

One Source boasts a 99%+ client retention rate and average client tenure of 12 years. The provider manages more than 1,000 clients, more than 20,000 locations and more than 1 million assets and devices across North America. One Source is the recipient of the 2019 and 2018 Best Customer Success Program Award from AOTMP, a global information, research and advisory firm for telecom, mobility, and technology management best practices and industry standards.
