In the current economy, telephony bills have become an important place to
save money, and Telecom Expense Management (TEM) helps enterprises do that
together with providing innumerable other benefits, according to Alsbridge,
Inc., a benchmarking, sourcing and transformation advisory firm. Alsbridge’s
latest report A Better Way to Cut Costs
with Telecom Expense Management explains how enterprises can tap into big
savings through Telecom Expense Management.
Through the analogy of a famous book retailer in America, the report
explains how the Alsbridge
TEM team helped the book seller run all its telephony bills through the TEM
system, realizing innumerable business benefits. According to this third
largest book retailer in America, apart from the surprising amount of cost
savings the biggest benefit has been the in-depth inventory the Alsbridge TEM
team completed. Also, the business intelligence and analytics the TEM system
provides.
With the bills today so complex, it is difficult to know if you are
paying your telecom provider too much. The difficulty becomes geometrically
more challenging for corporations with thousands of phone lines, data lines,
switches, cell phones and tablets for which it now must pay. Moreover, few
companies have the time, expertise, specialized systems, applications or
processes to handle their ever more complicated telephony bills, which have
become an important place to save money.
“The current economy is forcing many companies to focus on expense
control management on a heightened level,” says Phil Hugus, managing director,
Network Services Group at Alsbridge. “In today’s connected world, companies are
dialing into Telecom
Expense Management (TEM).”
