MBG Launches "Telecom In-Focus" Trial
Industry-First Proof of Concept Offer Helps Shorten the Telecom Expense Management Vendor Evaluation Process
New York, NY, June 15, 2006 - MBG, the leading provider of next generation telecom expense management (TEM) solutions, has announced the launch of the “Telecom In-Focus” trial to help organizations in their vendor evaluation process and shorten their time to benefit. With this no cost “proof of concept”, participating companies can load two months of electronic billing data from a single vendor into MBG’s Invoice Presentation analysis tool. Participants will be able to drill down to see the detail behind their invoices and conduct high impact analysis. The trial will also include a series of specific reports that will highlight unique perspectives hidden in billing data.
"This trial will help organizations see the powerful impact that just one small part of a telecom expense management solution can have, along with giving them a chance to test drive the system and realize the benefits before purchase,” says Michael B. Greenspan, CEO and president of MBG. “I am confident that a proof of concept enables prospects to get a first-hand experience with a solution they will live with for some time, and also helps MBG demonstrate our core expertise in processing electronic data and transforming that data into valuable information.”
"It is not uncommon for companies to spend 9-12 months or longer on evaluating vendor alternatives for a TEM solution,” states Eric Goodness, research vice president at Gartner. “In addition to the resources expended during the evaluation process, companies are forgoing the savings that will result from a TEM solution over that time.”
Additional telecommunications vendors and months of data can be added later for companies in the advanced stages of their evaluation process. This added step will offer users a feel for how the data from multiple vendors can be managed in a normalized hierarchy configured to their organizational structure.
