Making cost savings really add up

Just as the breadth and depth of telecommunications solutions has expanded, so has the margin of error in billing. From experience, enterprises using telecom expense management solutions can expect to save 10% and more on their telecom costs through invoice validation alone.

This in itself is a major task, with typical corporate mobile bills containing thousands of entries. With international networks, it is even more complex. You might deal with BT in the UK, OBS in France, T-systems in Germany, and AT&T in the US, for example, with each company billing you differently.

MDSL’s Telecoms Expense Manager (TEM) is the expense tracking software that was developed specifically to address this issue. As well as ongoing savings, enterprises that re-engineer and automate their internal processes gain:

Invoice overcharge savings

TEM automates the management of complex billing data, creates an average 10% saving from invoice overcharging, and uses an advanced web interface with vendors to get your money back rapidly.

Contract renegotiation savings

TEM centralises bills, integrates data and delivers information about trends and usage profiles across your entire organisation. Giving you the knowledge you need to renegotiate contracts – and save as much as 20%.

Inventory savings

In a typical enterprise, the inventory of telecom suppliers, equipment and users is spread across different departments and even countries. With MDSL’s expense tracking software, you have complete and clear control over every asset. Available assets can be reused, redundant services can be cancelled, underused assets can be monitored, and other critical events can be tracked automatically through real-time dashboards.

Sourcing savings

Today more than ever, carriers are offering a one-stop-shopping resource for a variety of telecom services. But is it the most cost-effective resource? MDSL’s TEM solution gives you a clear picture of your requirements, letting you see precisely what each service costs, by user, department, country and region. Providing telecom audit information that puts you in control and lets you get the best deal.
