Qtel’s ongoing investment in solutions that enable Qatari companies to improve efficiencies has seen the launch of a new solution today, which will enable businesses to manage communication costs more effectively.
“BillXpress” will enable corporate clients to see all communications costs online in real-time, through an easy-to-access interface that helps companies itemize communication across different departments and cost centers. The solution enables businesses to better understand which areas are driving communication costs, and also develop policies that ensure full return on communication investment.
Qtel is confident that its new solution will be warmly received by businesses across Qatar, particularly those with significant workforces across multiple locations.
To help Qtel’s clients better understand how this advanced technology can benefit their businesses, Qtel held the first of a series of special workshop sessions at the Four Seasons Hotel, Doha, for a number of premium and premier clients, to coincide with the launch.
Eng. Khalid Abdulla Al-Mansouri, Executive Director of Business Solutions, Qtel, said: “Qtel enjoys very strong relationships with our corporate clients, and we have continued to discuss and analyze their changing needs with them. One area where we recognized that we could provide significant value to our clients was in the area of clearer management and enhanced transparency of communication costs.”
“BillXpress is the result of this process of dialogue with our clients, and we are confident that they will appreciate the immediate savings of time and money that it delivers, as well as the longer-term process enhancements for their own organizations.”
This new online service from Qtel delivers a number of key features including easy registration and password encryption; secure online logins; and the ability to retrieve historic bills.
In addition, BillXpress has been configured to generate Pre-Defined Dynamic Reports, so that companies can integrate the management of communication costs into their business strategy, and even download and submit standard payment report files directly to Qtel.
Corporate clients who deploy the solution will see immediate benefits in terms of reducing the man hours necessary to sort and submit bills from different offices, and will also have clearer oversight across their operations.
For Qtel, the development of BillXpress is an important step forward in Qtel’s own business support strategy.
“Qatar was one of the world’s fastest-growing economies in 2008, and continues to thrive even in the difficult climate that we face today. Advanced network infrastructure helps companies to sustain their growth, and – when this is married with advanced online technology – also helps to drive efficiencies and effectiveness. By developing new solutions like BillXpress, Qtel is responding directly to the needs of our customers, and demonstrating our understanding of the role we can play in enhancing businesses in Qatar,” said Eng. Khalid Abdulla Al-Mansouri, Executive Director of Business Solutions, Qtel.
“There is also an important social element, as online applications reduce the use of paper and minimize waste and transport costs in the delivery and payment of bills. This has important implications for the national environment,” he concluded.
BillXpress is now available for corporate clients across Qatar. Qtel will organize a series of meetings for customers throughout April to introduce the new technology and explain the benefits.
