forecasts, together with sourcing and benchmarking strategies is the first step

Alsbridge has released a report- Cut
Network Costs in Rapidly Changing Environment- in which it shares insights
for organizations on effective strategies to manage their network costs in the
ever evolving environment.
The cost of an organization's telecommunications services (voice, data
and wireless), typically accounts for three to six percent of overhead, and can
average more than two percent of total revenue. In addition, telecommunications
services spend is increasing. To help IT leaders rein in runaway network costs,
the report discusses in detail the market trends and price management
strategies including:
Chip Wagner, CEO at Alsbridge
says, “The high level of network costs coupled with the anticipated increase
makes controlling total network spend a top-level imperative for all IT
leaders, requiring them to scrutinize telecom costs and seek out every option
for savings.”
With network services pricing continuing to decline and utilization
continuing to increase, IT leaders have to consider and implement sourcing and
benchmarking strategies that will help them control network costs and ensure
effective service. Understanding recent market trends and forecasts, coupled
with industry-leading insights on how to effectively create a benchmarking and
sourcing approach is the winning combination to successfully managing your
network strategy.
