Telecom Cost Optimization
Dramatic savings & Guaranteed ROI in a year or less.
We specialize in securing cost savings for our clients by performing a detailed telecom cost audit and then implementing a variety of measures to control expense, eliminate errors and over-billing, and by reworking service plans with providers. Controlling cost: it’s just smart business.
How it Works:
A Three-Pronged Approach
While many firms utilize only technology, or only manual reviewing techniques, we believe in using all tools at our disposal. We make use of a comprehensive, three-pronged approach that includes:
The Basics
Why Do An Audit?
The same reason you would research, compare, and negotiate favorable pricing on anything else your business spends money on. Because getting a great value on the service you pay for is a competitive advantage and not getting a good value can be a hindrance to your company’s success. If it has been a while since your last audit, or you’ve never had a professional telecom cost audit performed, there’s a strong possibility that you, like 90% of our clients, can save 25% or more.
1. Manual Review
The Old Fashioned Way
Our old-school approach includes manual review and analysis of several months of billing history, usage trending, sub-account and cost center structure, as well as carrier plan and promotion examination. If there is a custom plan available that better suits your needs and budget, we’ll find it and secure it for you. Some things just must be done the old fashioned way.
Common Manual Review Areas:
- Usage Costs & Averages
- Equipment Discounts & Subsidies
- Bill Incentives, Promotions & Credits
- Plan Structure & Bonus Programs
- Carrier Comparison
- Group Purchasing Programs
- Sub-Accounts & Cost Centers
2. Carrier Leverage
Put Our Supplier Portfolio To Good Use
Since there are many suppliers that provide comparable services, it’s in your best interest to know what’s out there and what it costs. From our portfolio of over 100 Telco providers and 40+ Cloud suppliers, we will find out which of them have appropriate solutions for your company and we will secure competitive price quotes from each. We’ll never pressure you to switch or to make changes you’re not comfortable with. What we will do is communicate to vendors that you have choices. This gives the providers an extra incentive to earn or keep your business by issuing the most competitive pricing they can. It also results in your receiving invaluable information and crucial perspective for making informed, budget conscious decisions.

3. Smart Technology
In addition to the tried and true method of manual review and carrier negotiations, we also utilize several technology solutions that help your business get a clear picture of your accounts and also automate certain functions and alerts in a way that wouldn’t be possible or cost-effective without them.
Mobile Pulse, for example, is a software tool we use that delivers rich and insightful mobile data reporting right to your mobility manager’s inbox every month. You can read more about our Mobile Pulse here.
Mobility Central, the parent program of Mobile Pulse, is a fully-featured, cloud-based mobile analytics program that allows for Client access to comprehensive reporting, custom analysis, device management, automated alerts, procurement, and more. You can read more about Mobility Central here .
