Telecom Analysis
If you are a multinational company, are your telecom invoices and orders processed at diverse locations? How do you take control of spending if a comprehensive implementation of telemanagement systems is unrealistic in the near term? Are you interested in a jumpstart of your telemanagement efforts within your enterprise - quickly and with low project risk?
The Multinational Telemanagement Challenge
Many multinational organizations manage administrative tasks on a regional basis. Centralized invoices for telecom purchases are not common. Tax issues can complicate the central purchasing of services used in different countries. For these reasons, invoices are typically processed at different locations around the world. This means telecom billing data is analyzed in very different ways throughout a global company. Furthermore, some of the data might come in the form of paper-based invoices, which do not provide usable data for analysis.
Telemanagement initiatives that can overcome these considerations often have very favorable return for the investment (ROI). However, due to the challenges associated with the deployment of a full telemanagement solution in a multinational environment, comprehensive projects of this type – despite their high ROI – are often put off.
The Answer: Top 10 Global Vendor Analysis
MBG has developed a service for multinational organizations that enables them to centralize their telecom invoices, providing 80% of the strategic analysis capabilities available from a full telemanagement solution at 10% of the cost and effort.
Detailed analysis of the services provided by your top 10 global telecom vendors can provide both strategic and financial benefits. MBG will establish and maintain an up-to-date view by service type, location and business unit, across your major vendors. This analysis will enable your company to:
- Review total spend by service and compare rates for equivalent services across the entire company.
- Track costs of services over time and across vendors.
- Identify dramatic changes in service volume year on year (example: wireless usage).
With the information that is gained by analyzing your top 10 global vendors, effective management strategies can be implemented. Some examples include:
- Improved negotiations with vendors – easily identify equivalent services available from different vendors at more competitive rates and use that information to negotiate improved rates.
- Manage Diversity – avoid excessive reliance on any single carrier or combination of carriers. An in-depth understanding of your spending across top vendors enables your company to meet its diversity goals.
- Spend by Critical Vendors – track spending with your critical vendors to ensure you meet your strategic goals for service quality and cost control.
- Technology Migration – Gauge when and where to adopt more cost-effective technologies, such as VoIP and WiFi.
