Services - Expense Management

"They're the line item from hell: telecom costs. Most companies charges have doubled while rates have actually fallen." -Inc. magazine

Services > Expense Management

Do Telecommunications Service Providers deliberately set out to confuse their customers? Maybe not deliberately, but most customers will agree it is nearly impossible to verify that the contract they negotiate, if they have a contract, is truly "the best". Even if they are confident in their contract, they soon find the "Gotchas" - hidden charges and fees.

There is no shortage of vendors offering to find and fix billing problems. That is because 1) most people get frustrated examining bills, and would prefer to have someone else do it (high demand) 2) the rapid change in pricing makes a deal that was great last week, a loser this week, so there is no shortage of opportunities to improve on existing contracts, 3) the pricing is generally based on a percentage of savings, so it does not typically affect budgets, and 4) because they often "negotiate" new deals on cellular or local services where they are the provider!

So why do organizations look to Innovative Thinking to provide accounting type services like these? Because Innovative Thinking looks beyond just your bills. We'll analyze your situation to determine if it is possible to use dedicated long distance, least cost routing, and even eliminating or fixing lines that don't work or have never been used. We are also able to analyze WAN requirements to determine if a different technology or an alternative service will bring considerable savings. Because of this, we can save money for companies that are already under contract or spend very little on telecommunications. We still use the same contingency based billing structure, so we are paid based on what we save, and there is no risk to you.

As our name implies, we take a different approach to technology, and telecom auditing. Without this approach, businesses are unable to maximize their savings and achieve their expense management goals.
