Whether it’s billing errors, out-of-term-contracts, or telecom carrier services that no longer meet your company’s needs, overspending on telecom-related expenses is widespread. If you haven’t conducted a telecommunications audit for some time, consider imei’s Expense Manager TEM solution.
When was the last time your team scrutinized your company’s telecom bills and manually audited each invoice? With mission critical mobility, unified communications, and other cloud services in place, managing an increasingly complex ecosystem of telecom-related assets and services is a significant challenge.
Yet as costs relating to voice, data, and mobile services grow significantly and with so many contracts, apps and equipment to manage, rather than assuming telecom bills are accurate, find out for sure by conducting a telecommunications audit. While this is a chore when done manually, Telecom Expense Management makes light work of it.
Telecommunication expense management (TEM) helps you gain control of your telecom technology expenses across the business while identifying ways to eliminate unnecessary spend.
Using multiple carriers for different services
If your company uses multiple carriers for different services, it can be difficult to match and allocate costs accurately and it’s not unusual to have duplicate subscriptions and technologies that are unused or underutilised. It’s also likely for there to be some overages and excessive charges that your organisation is paying for.
Running a telecommunications audit with TEM, identifies these anomalies, putting you in a strong position to streamline your network and eliminate the unnecessary spend, refocusing budgets on the essential technology that delivers to your needs.
Identifying unused or underutilised subscriptions and services
