2 TEMS Agenda Introduction to Wireless TEMS
Options for Purchasing Wireless TEMS Outline the TEMS Process—Agency Customer Perspective TEMS Success Stories

3 What is Wireless TEMS---Now and in the Future?
Managed service that enables increased financial and operational control over wireless assets---service plans and devices Supports wireless assets over the entire lifecycle continuum: TEMS is NOT Mobile Device Management or Mobile Application Services TEMS is an important component of an overall Mobility Management Solution TEMS complements Mobile Acquisition and MDM; TEMS may eventually converge with MDM (5+ years) Acquisition Policy Implementation/ Management Device Refresh Plan Validation/ Optimization Inventory Reporting Invoice Review Device Disposal/ Disposition

4 Wireless TEMS Value Proposition
Analysis suggests that the Federal Government can save roughly $150 - $200M annually on wireless spend through improved service management The Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative (FSSI) PMO estimates that government-wide wireless spend is roughly $1.3B per year on more than 1.6million service plans TEMS can produce upfront acquisition savings (15-20%) , operational savings (varies), and ongoing optimization (5-10% ROI in years 2 +) Acquisition Savings: Contract Consolidation, Volume, Competition, Improved Plan Selection, Policy Implementation Operational Savings: Improved Support Ratios—CO, DAR, IT, etc Optimization: Utilization of Pooled Plans, System and regular evaluation of usage as business needs change 4

5 TEMS Complements Wireless FSSI and Other Mobility Initiatives, Federal Directives
TEMS is a management tool that can ensure the strategic objectives of the Wireless FSSI are met: Improved Management/Operations Improved Results TEMS can support policy implementation Plan and device selection Device refreshment/replacement/disposal/disposition reporting TEMS can be the first step towards strong integration between mobile assets and the overall IT enterprise Enable more efficient adoption of mobile applications Accelerated optimization, waste elimination, policy implementation

7 TEMS Contract Options TEMS FSSI IDIQ Awardees
iSYS, LLC (Small Business) Avalon Global (Small Business) Booz Allen Hamilton/ProfitLine Contract Term: 5 years, expires 1/2013 Next Steps: Incorporate TEMS as Managed Mobility Component Increase awareness regarding ability to acquire TEMS via Schedule or Connections Connections II: Numerous providers, direct and via sub-contractors. TEMS ability was validated via CNX I and via CNX sample proposal process. Small Business: A&T, American Systems, NetCom Open: Verizon Schedule 70 Several providers on Schedule 70 including: iSys (SIN , ) Avalon Global (SIN ) A&T Systems (SIN , ) ProfitLine, Inc (SIN , ) Others

8 TEMS/Managed Mobility Next Steps
Support FSSI PMO and Customers thru balance of contract Develop Managed Mobility Strategy that Addresses TEMS Value Proposition and Demand Drive Awareness of All TEMS Acquisition Programs and Tools Continue Support of Digital Government Strategy and Role of TEMS

9 TEMS Process Outline Month Activity 1 Identify Owner, Scope, and Objectives 2-4 Document Owner, Scope, and Objectives Identify $ expectations--year 1 savings, ongoing ROI Identify acquisition strategy Validate strategy complements overall mobile strategy 5-6 Conduct acquisition 7 Award with approved implementation plan Kickoff meeting; confirm status of owners Begin forwarding invoices to TEMS provider 8 Begin implementation All in-scope accounts forwarded to provider Monthly reporting begins 9 All wireless accounts should be inventoried 10 Initial optimization and contract alignment complete, if in-scope 12 Initial savings report identified 15,18,21… Quarterly savings report delivered to agency and program 24 Annual savings report identified Notes: 1. Actual timeframes will vary as a function of: a. Centralization b. Planning c. Level of starting fragmentation d. # parties involved e. Complexity of custom elements, i.e. audit and optimization 2. Ideally, 3 months of invoices are provided up front as a means of validating existing plan selection and immediately identifying zero-use accounts. 3. Although upfront/implementation charges may apply, positive ROI has been obtained within the first 12 contract months of all TEMS FSSI projects. Positive ROI continues in Year 2+.

11 Centers for Disease Control & Prevention
CDC started their Wireless TEM Initiative as a Pilot Program with the OIT Department. After Realizing incredible savings, the other departments within CDC joined the Wireless TEM Program and immediately realized substantial savings by : Utilizing more effective Federal Service Contracts Optimizing Rate and Feature Plans within those Contracts Standardizing Procurement Policies

12 Customs and Border Protection
CBP’s focus has been to initially build an accurate inventory database and identify opportunities for reducing costs.

Estimated roll-out – June 2012 CBP’s success is featured in CIO Steven Van Roekel’s Digital Government Strategy as a Mobility Management Best Practice

13 U.S. Courts Court Units "Opting In“: 146
The 3rd District Court of Appeals (CA3) in Philadelphia launched a pilot program under the GSA FSSI Wireless TEM contract in In 18 months CA3 realized a 19% savings that equaled $14 per unit per month for their task order. In 2010, the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (AOUSC) issued a Task Order against the TEMS FSSI Contract so that any court unit could benefit from the total aggregation discounts allowed by the contract under the Task Order. Each court unit has the option to pick and choose the services they wish to utilize.
