Asentinel's approach is one of managing the complete lifecycle of TEM. All functionality is resident in the "core system" - one Oracle platform and one application instance supports all functionality and modules. Further, all components are integrated in real-time. For example:

• Provision a new circuit and the application concurrently creates and sends the service order to the vendor, establishes the inventory/asset in the database and updates the audit metrics in advance of the corresponding carrier invoice.
• Update a vendor contract and the software updates all assets associated with that contract in real-time and applies the new contractual rate to the effected invoices.
• When the application, via integration to the client's Human Resources system, discovers that an 'employee' with assets (i.e. wireless/blackberry device, calling card, DID) is no longer an 'active employee', the application raises the appropriate alerts so services can be cancelled, retrieved and/or redeployed.
• Through integration to the client's AP/GL and/or Active Directory/LDAP system, the Asentinel application maintains all cost allocations and therefore maintains compliance that only charges from active cost centers/departments may be allocated.

• EDI invoicing represents more than 90% of Asentinel's clients' spend. With Custom Imports and Optical Invoice Recognition (OIR), 100% of your voice and data invoices are electronic and automated. No more CD's, paper invoices or carrier Web sites; 100% of your invoices are in Asentinel 6.0.
• Asentinel 6.0 delivers a comprehensive and flexible medium to align your staff and their corresponding workflow and hierarchy with a sophisticated audit engine to ensure validity of charges, tariffs, inventory and configurable business rules.
• The Audit and Optimization engine not only delivers historical and go-forward ROI, but creates a communication medium and discipline with your vendors to ensure long-term stability and permanent expense management.
• With integrations/interfaces to all AP/GL systems as a component of implementation, as well as HR, email and Active Directory/LDAP, communications between enterprise systems are all automated and paperless.

• Oracle relational database will serve as the one enterprise-wide Central Repository of all Telecom Assets (Voice - wireline and wireless; Data; and Equipment).
• With unlimited User-Defined Fields (UDF's) you can link, track, query and report on every asset and its corresponding detail; want to know which cellular devices are due for a technology upgrade, how many wireless users ordered accessories, etc.
• Asentinel 6.0 accommodates the dynamic nature of MACD's by ensuring all change management activities are clearly communicated to the vendor and tracked through to completion. Concurrently, the inventory, invoice processing and audit/optimization metrics are updated.

• Asentinel 6.0 accommodates the dynamic nature of MACD's by ensuring all change management activities are clearly communicated to the vendor and tracked through to completion. Concurrently, the inventory, invoice processing and audit/optimization metrics, in addition to all web-based reporting and Business Intelligence, is updated.
• Asentinel serves as the medium between you and the Vendor/Carrier to ensure a consistent structure and process for all orders involving voice, data or equipment services.
• Jointly, Asentinel and the client develop templates to create detailed scripts ensuring 100% clear communication and acceptance by the vendor for all procurement transactions.

• One Comprehensive, configurable and flexible interface for all reports and intelligence.
• Established based on user's rights, organizational hierarchy; often linked with AD/LDAP.
• Asentinel 6.0 provides the authoritative source for your management of expenses, budgets, vendors, contracts, forecasts, etc. through a 100% web-based interface.
• Reporting is streamlined as all reports can be named, saved, viewed, scheduled, exported to Excel, converted to a PDF, or auto-distributed.

• The Worldwide Module provides Global support for all carriers, assets, invoices and currency; all through the same Asentinel 6.0 platform.
• With Automated, Integrated Provisioning (AIP), Asentinel 6.0 communicates bi-directionally with your vendors via electronic means (eBonding, EDI, XML) to ensure all communication is as automated and timely as possible.
• Asentinel's Optical Invoice Recognition (OIR), a breakthrough in the TEM industry, provides for the ability for all recurring invoices (including those that are paper-based from Carriers unable to provide electronic invoicing) to be received and mapped automatically by Asentinel.
