What’s Included In An Audit Of Invoices? | Telecom Audit

GSI will include any expenses in telecom & wireless in our telecom audit. These often include: local service, data networks (MPLS, wide area, and DSL), long distance, wireless (cell phones, smartphones, & data cards), conferencing, and phone maintenance fees.

Following a kickoff call and collection of bills and contracts, GSI will have initial audit savings and refund opportunities within the first 30 days of the project for most enterprise audits. The next 30 days include implementing any approved client savings directly with the vendors by GSI. We will then validate all approved savings prior to being compensated from new vendor invoices. This is a competitive advantage.

Our Telecom Analysts have extensive experience in working with the myriad of phone bills, formats, and vaguely discernible charges on telephone invoices. A comprehensive audit includes all services with all vendors and will focus on invoice accuracy, contract compliance by the carriers, and comparison to current marketplace pricing. Telecommunication costs are fast becoming one of the largest expenses and most complex areas to challenge management for companies today.

Restoring Order To Telecom Chaos | TEM

The first quarter of a new year is always in turmoil for clients as they set their sights for a prosperous new year. The forwarding of the clock also severely impacts the major telecommunications carriers as well. This is the time of the year when the major players make their re-organizational changes.

As a result, in case you haven’t noticed, you may have a new account team, or orders placed in the fourth quarter of last year have never been implemented, or credits that you are waiting for have not happened. This could also represent their downsizing, cost savings, and the changing of their entire market strategy. Usually, you the customer are the last to know. When faced with these uncertainties – it’s hard to know where to begin.

Global Solutions Inc (GSI) has been helping thousands of clients since 1992 find quick solutions to these real problems. Whether it is local service, data, mobility changes, or basic contract management, implementation, or negotiation – we are there to help in any way. We get the job done quickly and we restore order where chaos once ruled the day.

But I’m Under Contract? | Telecom & Wireless Contract Management

With the majority of telecom and wireless contracts being a 1, 2, or even 3 year commitment, it is common and almost certain that the majority of companies are under contract for various services at any given time.  However, even if under contract there are various ways of renegotiating current agreements, and a telecom audit can help uncover to create additional savings going forward.

Overcharges that are uncovered can help a company with time left on an agreement leverage the carrier to rip up the current non competitive agreement and do the right thing going forward to save the business.  Even with experts on staff it is a challenge to know the current marketplace without having a partner who’s been in the trenches on both sides of the table negotiating thousands of contracts, with current competitive marketplace experience on terms, conditions, and loopholes.

A couple of reasons companies pay too much for telecom:
• Most companies don’t understand their own metrics to leverage the best deal through the purchasing power they rightfully have.

• The rates are ok, but not great, who’s to know…

• The company did nothing when the contract expired.  They simply allowed it to automatically rollover at the same or even higher rates.

• The account rep told them it was their best deal and they believe it!

• They assumed that because of their size, they were getting the best rates and terms and conditions in their contracts.

• No feel for what “competitive pricing” would be in the marketplace, and negotiated own contract.

• Received multi-vendor cell phone bills – no metrics in place to compare them, signed the contracts, and were left exposed.

• Assume that local telecom companies are truly price competitive all the time.

To take full advantage of corporate purchasing power and to make certain of the very best rates, terms, and conditions in the marketplace being offered companies will seek out GSI to be the lead on an RFP for service, be hand in hand, or behind the scenes to make the carriers step up to the table with their best offers.  “GSI improved our bottom line by $3.9 Million in a couple of months by meticulously scrutinizing every last contract variable and negotiating the most favorable telecom contract we’ve ever had which included a signing bonus” (Amelia Goldacker/Adventist Healthcare).
