Let us help your organization reduce costs, achieve desired results, and minimize service delivery intervals with strategic sourcing and procurement solutions. Leverage our industry knowledge, experience and business relationships to assist you with understanding your telecom and IT expenses.
To meet your sourcing needs, we begin by assessing the technology landscape and compiling a comprehensive list of relevant services, equipment, carriers, vendors and contracts.
We use our proprietary methodology and software platform to generate an accurate inventory. Our consultants use the inventory to create a baseline cost report detailing your current telecommunications or IT spend which provides keen insight for decision making.
Our consultants create a customized RFP and a balanced scorecard for measuring prospective bid value. Once you review the completed RFP, our team will engage the suppliers you have chosen.
We manage the RFP process for you. Once all supplier bids are received, we produce an assessment report that includes a scorecard analysis evaluating each supplier, their proposal, strengths, weaknesses, service offering and price comparisons.
Our experts make informed recommendations and establish sourcing requirements for use in the Request for Proposal (RFP) process or in negotiating renewals with incumbent suppliers.
Before conducting a formal RFP, we collaborate with you and all key stakeholders to define sourcing requirements.
We prepare a Scope of Work (SOW) to be included in the RFP that is aligned with your business objectives.
We provide you with the necessary data to make an informed decision. Once you have made a final decision, our consultants take the lead in completing negotiations of pricing and service levels and provide all necessary contracts for your review.
Our team oversees the implementation as well as manages the disconnection of old services. Post-implementation, our consultants review all pricing to ensure that billing meets contractual terms to ensure compliance.
According to the Aberdeen Group, “Companies lose 12-17% of telecom spend to unorganized telecom expense management.” Your organization needs a sourcing partner that is strategic and objective.
