Telecom Expense & Audit Optimization (TEAO)

Before implementing an effective life cycle management strategy, performing an accurate baseline inventory cost audit of your company’s carrier bills and expenses is vital. A detailed telecom audit involves a comprehensive study of an organization’s existing services and workflow. Reducing current telecom expenditures and optimizing future spending requires careful analysis of active billing services, invoices, contracts, taxes, utilization and other factors. This baseline audit helps with cost reduction, cost avoidance, and reduces overall telecom expenses.

At Cost Management Group (CMG), we will analyze your audit results to determine the potential to eliminate unwanted or unneeded items or services. The audit provides a comprehensive view of your carrier communication ecosystem, creating a detailed breakdown of all your monthly telecommunication expenditures. This business intelligence allows you to make informed decisions for your equipment and services strategy moving forward.

For those businesses uncertain about committing to the entire telecom life cycle management program, CMG offers an audit-only engagement to provide a detailed overview ahead of the implementation process.
