| A TELECOM AUDIT CAN SAVE YOU THOUSANDS | |||||||||||
A Telecom Audit is important because it is the first step you can take to lower your monthly telecom and datacom bills. Once an audit is completed and the carrier notified of overcharges, savings can begin immediately. To learn how easy it is to begin reducing your telecom bills, call Fortune Consulting today. Fortune Consulting is a leading telecom consultancy and has been helping clients get more value from their telecom investment since 1994. Do you need A Telecom Audit? Are your telecom bills too high? The answer is probably yes. Some experts claim that there is an extremely high error rate in telecommunications billing. This means for every ten invoices you receive, there could be an error on 8 of them. Fortune Consulting has found that roughly 30% of those errors are significant enough to be worth fixing. Here are just a few things that can go wrong: Calls may not be billed at the proper rate, fees can be assessed for unnecessary services, and all of your lines may not be routed to your selected long distance carrier. We have found many organizations are paying for expensive services they didn't use; others discovered they were paying too much because they never negotiated or re-negotiated their contract. The worse part: many of these overcharges go on indefinitely, if they are not identified and corrected. Because the stakes are so high, and the task of performing an audit so specialized, it makes good business sense to have an experienced telecom consultant like Fortune Consulting conduct your telecom audit. Fortune Consulting Performs Comprehensive Telecom Audits Fortune Consulting performs comprehensive audits in which the focus is on an average month's billing (the study month) for all telecommunications services. This includes local, long distance, 800 services (toll free), wireless, calling card, teleconference, and Internet access lines. It may also include data networks, frame relay, ATM, or Private Line services, and charges for telephone and equipment maintenance. Our experts, all with extensive billing and contract experience, examine your bills and provide recommendations for savings. Fortune Consulting also looks for past billing errors, particularly in the tax area, and works with the carriers to get you refunds and/or credits. Some Fortune Consulting clients prefer to have Fortune Consulting deal directly with the carrier to make sure that the billing errors are corrected and reflected accurately in ongoing bills. It is important to note that Fortune Consulting does not recommend changing carriers or reducing quality in order to reduce monthly bills. All savings will be realized for the same quality of service. The only difference is that you will pay less. How Much Can a Telecom Audit Save You? Fortune Consulting assures new clients that for every dollar they spend on telecom expense management, they will realize at least a two-dollar savings the first year. However, many clients have saved much more. A recent client invested $60,000 in telecom expense management across their company and saved over $2 million as a result. While it is difficult to predict savings, a simple example can illustrate the magnitude of the financial impact that an audit can provide. Telecom is one of the most significant expenses for every business. If a business spends $100,000 month on telecom expenses and their bills even have a 10% error rate, that organization is wasting $10,000 every month!
