Maximizing Efficiency and Savings: The Value of Telecom Audits and Benchmarking
Posted on June 17, 2024 by Steve Hearst
In today’s fast-paced business environment, effective communication is crucial for success. Today, businesses depend on telecommunications for daily operations. Indisputably, telecommunication in a corporation has grown extremely universal, along with the increasing managerial challenge of controlling telecom expenses and ensuring performance is optimized. This is where telecom audits and benchmarking come into play. At TTG, we believe that regular telecom audits and benchmarking are essential for company success. We manage all aspects of voice and mobile technology infrastructure by proactively advocating on your behalf with your telecom vendors.
What is a Telecom Audit?
A telecom audit is a comprehensive review of a company’s telecommunications services, including phone systems, internet services, mobile devices, and related infrastructure. The primary goal is to identify areas of inefficiency, uncover billing errors, and ensure that the company is not overpaying for services or for services not in use. Examining and deciphering your current voice technology services may seem daunting, but the process gets a lot easier when you’ve got a trusted partner like TTG in your corner.
Billing mistakes are common in the telecom industry. A detailed audit can uncover discrepancies and can help make sure you are only paying for the services you need and use. An audit can help right-size your telecom services, match your plans to your usage patterns, and eliminate unnecessary expenses. We will roll up our sleeves, dig into your communication infrastructure, identify discrepancies within the network, and develop a detailed, flexible, actionable strategy to lower overhead costs.
Audits can identify redundant or outdated systems and processes, offering opportunities to streamline and upgrade to more efficient technologies. Keeping track of all telecom assets can be challenging, so we develop a detailed, flexible, and actionable strategy that you review, approve, and get our continued support through plan implementation to optimize your network. Our team helps ensure your services comply with industry regulations and standards, reducing the risk of legal issues and penalties.
An audit can result in substantial savings, which are the gift that keeps on giving. If we are able to lower your benchmark cost of service in a new contract with a provider, that cost now becomes the benchmark for future negotiations—thus, the savings lives on into future agreements.
The Role of Benchmarking in Telecom Management
Benchmarking complements telecom audits by comparing your telecom performance and costs against industry standards or competitors. This process highlights areas where your telecom performance lags, helping you pinpoint opportunities for improvement. Understanding industry benchmarks allows you to set realistic and achievable performance targets for your telecom services.
Benchmarking helps ensure you are getting competitive rates for your telecom services. If your costs exceed industry averages, renegotiating contracts or switching providers might be your next step. With benchmark data, you can make more informed decisions about upgrades, investments, and changes to your telecom infrastructure.
