Auditing and Managing Telecom Expenses
 

Unless you actively manage the ordering and payment for telecom services, it is a virtual certainty that you are paying too much, have too many providers and are paying for services that you are not using.

 

Unless you are fortunate to have someone on your staff who understands the complex coding and hidden charges of telephone bills, you'll probably never know where the errors occur, or how to resolve them and get the refund you may be eligible for.

 

The term Telecom Expense Management encompasses many disciplines and means different things to different people—phone bill processing, order tracking, phone usage monitoring, and telecom optimization to name just a few. In a generic sense it implies the overall "management" and automation of all processes associated with ordering, receiving and paying for any telecom service, including; local, long distance, Internet and data. You need to validate your company's telecom expenses, monitor cost allocation, forecast budgets and have all the data necessary to negotiate carrier contracts.

TELEPHONE BILL AUDIT
An audit focuses on the direct costs of telecom services–the billing received from vendors–finding errors and correcting them. A professional phone bill audit optimizes existing telecom services and reduces costs without necessarily making carrier changes.

There are two distinct economic benefits from performing an audit:

1.   Find billing errors that have been going on for some time, correct
      them and request a refund of the overbilling.
2.  Correcting these problems reduces ongoing costs

An audit may reveal that multiple providers are providing the same service to an organization. Consolidating this volume and negotiating with one vendor can significantly reduce the hard costs and reduce the number of bills and the amount of time required to manage multiple vendors.

TELECOM EXPENSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
A Telecom Expense Management system's main value is to reduce the indirect costs – the labor costs associated with the management of an organization's telecommunications service providers. It automates the processes associated with ordering, receiving and paying for any telecom service, eliminating the human errors prevalent in the manual method.

The management of the telecommunications vendors providing services to your organization includes:

  Inventory of services

  Invoices for services

  Budgets - reconciling budgeted amount to actual
  Contracts for services
