A Shared Challenge in UC Management

Keeping track of devices, numbers, and licenses across complex UC environments can easily become overwhelming.

Many organizations still rely on spreadsheets or separate portals from different vendors. It works…until it becomes clear how time-consuming it is for IT teams.

Sooner or later, questions start to surface:

  • Which assets are really active?
  • Which licenses are unused?
  • Who owns what — and for how long?

This lack of connection between systems and teams often creates uncertainty, extra workload, and hidden costs. We’ve seen this challenge across the industry and together, we can approach it differently.

Where disconnection becomes costly

When inventory data isn’t unified or up to date, inefficiency grows quietly:

  • Wasted budget: dormant SIMs, unassigned IP phones, and unused licenses keep generating cost.
  • Security risks: untracked endpoints create compliance gaps and potential exposure.
  • Rework: each MACD (move, add, change, delete) demands manual checking to validate what’s actually deployed.

Industry analyses show that a significant share of telecom costs — sometimes up to 20% — comes not from technology issues, but from lack of visibility and coordination.

Bringing clarity through connected visibility

Clarity begins when all communication data — from telephony systems, mobile operators, and collaboration platforms — is synchronized into a single, reliable source of truth.

With that foundation, teams can see every asset’s lifecycle:

  • Device and user status
  • Registration and contract dates
  • Subscription types and costs
  • Historical changes and usage patterns

Cross-checking this information helps uncover inactive devices, wrongly assigned SIMs, or unused licenses.

And when every action is recorded automatically, audits become easier and reports more transparent, strengthening internal and external trust.

From reaction to shared insight

Once visibility is centralized, everyday work shifts from reactive clean-up to proactive, collaborative management:

  • Detect and deactivate unused assets early
  • Allocate costs clearly across departments
  • Keep lifecycle history for compliance and decision-making
  • Strengthen collaboration through transparency

This is not just about tools — it’s about creating a connected environment where teams can make faster, smarter decisions together.

Conclusion: Moving forward with clarity

When information flows freely across platforms and departments, visibility turns into action — helping teams make faster, more confident decisions. By consolidating asset and license information into one clear, reliable source, organizations enable their teams to focus on delivering value instead of maintaining spreadsheets.

And when every asset is traceable from activation to retirement, the result is reduced cost, greater compliance, and stronger confidence across all stakeholders.
