Mobile data services are vital for doing business in today's world, but they don't come cheap.
Without real control or visibility of spend as it happens, customers are too-often surprised with higher-than-expected bills - a situation known as Bill Shock.

Who is Data Spend Manager for?
Corporate Use
Data Spend Manager gives corporate IT managers the tools to control, limit and actively reduce data service costs – regardless of who the service provider is or what network is used. DSM puts real control of data spend in the hands of the budget owner not just the individual user.
Reseller Use
Data Spend Manager is sold to corporate customers through the reseller channel. Resellers of telecoms and data services offer DSM as a stand alone product to customers on a revenue share model with Rockshore. The product can be re-branded as required and provides a high margin addition to existing data services.
DSM generates increased revenue per customer without any service overheads. The provision of DSM also helps re-sellers to differentiate themselves in the market place, providing spend control that rivals can’t. This differentiation assists with customer retention at contract resign.
Carrier Use
The fear of Bill Shock is one of the greatest barriers to sales of data cards and data connections. Providing control over data spend is proven to increase data revenue by up to 50%. Corporate customers consistently report uncontrolled spending and no real response by the carrier as a major relationship issue.
