Reduced Network Costs is only one of the Many Business Benefits of TEM, Says Alsbridge

Alsbridge releases its latest report A Better Way to Cut Costs with Telecom Expense Management

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).”
