Why Telecom Expense Management (TEM)?

 

If you are questioning whether or not your enterprise needs telecom expense management software (tem software), ask yourself the following questions.

  • Is all of your telecom information in one central location?
  • What are the total costs of telecom expenditures across your entire company?
  • What percentage of your telecom invoices are incurring late charges penalties?
  • What are the contract rates for your telecom services and are you confident that this is what you are being invoiced for?
  • Are you taking advantage of all possible volume discounts?
  • How many times a year are your telecom invoices audited?
  • Who in your organization has the time or expertise to go through every invoice from every telecom vendor line-by-line?
  • Could their time be better spent?
  • Who owns the telecom equipment throughout your organization?
  • How are your telecom budgets monitored for efficiency?
  • Do you have guidelines in place for telecom usage?
  • Who can efficiently report telecom invoice problems to the right department?
  • Is there a system in place to optimize telecom related contracts and inventories?
  • On what information do you forecast future telecom expenses and how accurate is it?

Benefits of TEM

 
  • Your company will save at least 6-8% of your total telecom expenses.
  • You'll gain control of an expense that has, until now, spiraled out of your control on multiple fronts. Voice, data, inventory, contracts, usage - it's too much to humanly monitor.
  • You'll gain vital knowledge that allows you to take a more strategic approach to your telecom spending.
  • You'll see immediate savings from finding errors and overbillings on telecom invoices. Considering that an average Fortune 500 company's total telecom expenses exceed $116 million and that at least 10% of that is being wasted through inefficient telecom expense management, that's a significant amount. But you'll also have a "big picture" of your communications expenditures to help you strategize a wiser, more efficient telecom policy.
  • The bottom line - it makes good business sense.
