Many corporations spend millions every year on technology to be more efficient and productive and communicate with the world. It’s an expensive venture at 3 to 4 percent of all revenue for medium to large businesses, according to ROI consultants Alinean Inc. Approximately half of all technology expense is spent on telecommunications alone, which includes data circuits, mobile phones, voice lines, etc. Large, multi-location companies have the biggest challenges in managing these telecom expenses due to their more complex environments. They often don’t have the proper processes, personnel and specialized systems to resolve them.
Hidden Errors Increase Expenses
Complex telecom charges waste both time and money. Many invoices contain hidden errors, unused services and unneces-sary charges. Dealing with carriers is also labor-intensive and time-consuming.
