Telecom expense reduction is the number one goal of 99% of our clients. Oft-times this is combined with a need to get organized, but telecom expense reduction reigns the supreme motivation.

The surest, quickest path to reducing the cost of your telecom phone service is through a telecom audit and telecom inventory management program.

A forensic telecom audit performed by professional telecom consultants should result in first and foremost, elimination of telecommunications waste.  The elimination of unnecessary or unwarranted circuits alone will go gar towards reducing an organizations telecom cost.

But how and why are there so many unnecessary circuits?

There are a number of culprits and high on the list is the enormous wave of consolidation staring in the 90's and continuing through 2009 and beyond. When telecom companies merge, they are faced with the problem of integrating their billing systems, often an impossibly daunting task.  The result is billing errors and confusion, not to mention double-billing for the same circuit and billing for circuits that were previously cancelled or not in use for some reason or another.

Our telecom consultants have often been approached by rapidly growing companies that are not sure of the telecom inventory they adopted along with a recent acquisition.  For example, a group of radio stations in Chicago purchased two additional stations and along with that came a T-1 and Frame Relay that have not been active for a long time.  But there was a stiff termination penalty from the phone company, so the end user was afraid to cancel.  This was a typical situation of being overwhelmed by new inventory and is a clear example of waste.  Who's fault is it?  Who cares!  By the way, our telecom consultants performed a telecom expense reduction audit for this client and the client received a $20,600 check from Verizon as well as tens of thousands of dollars in forward-looking telecom expense reduction.

The number one enemy of large telecom clients?  Waste!  The best solution? A telecom expense reduction audit performed by seasoned telecom audit consultants.
