Why A Contingency Telecom Audit Is The Way To Go | Telecom Audit Company

Seeing how a telecom audit can benefit your business may be a no brainer for many business owners, CEOs and CFOs, but figuring out who should conduct it or the best methodology and procedure can be more difficult to discern. When making this decision, one may consider conducting an in-house audit, hiring an outside firm or purchasing telecom audit software.  

Conducting an in-house audit may turn out to be much more difficult than anticipated.  A lack of tools, metrics, live benchmarking, and expertise can leave you at a serious disadvantage and minimize any potential savings. Purchasing telecom audit software may not be a bad idea, but when the software is not partnered with an experienced telecom audit professional, data weaknesses, software limitations and necessary follow through will still greatly reduce potential cost reduction.

Hiring an experienced TEM firm that offers contingency based audits will offer you the best opportunity for the greatest savings. With a contingency based audit you pay nothing up front and only pay fees if savings are confirmed. This puts you in a win-win position. Hiring a firm like ours that utilizes professional telecom audit software, a team of trained professionals and vast TEM industry knowledge will likely result in significant, long-term telecom cost reduction.

We work with existing carriers to optimize charges, reduce cost, and obtain refunds. Not to mention, most telecommunications audits are completed in just 30 to 60 days.  Call us today learn more about our TEM consulting and contingency telecom audits

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.
