Telecom Network & Spend Optimization

Telecom Cost Reduction Services

Optimize your telecom network and reduce your telecom spend with Advantage IQ. We spend time to understand your specific environment which includes your telecom network technologies, inventory/usage, profile and contracts. Then we classify opportunities into three categories and work with you to select the best options and implement them.

Use Less: Can your current network configuration and usage be streamlined or modified to reduce telecom infrastructure and related costs?

Align Technology: Does the implemented technology offer the best cost to performance mix?

Spend Less: Could the services be acquired for less by placing them under more favorable contracts?

With a highly-trained, knowledgeable telecom staff, we know what to look for, and we have the processes to ensure that the job gets done. Here is a small sampling of telecom network and spend optimization opportunities that we review on a regular basis to insure you are never spending more for telecom services than you should.

LEC: BRI and PRI at the same location, Centrex service or excessive business lines at locations served by a PBX, intrastate mileage when interstate rates could apply, unnecessary calling plans, term savings opportunities and expired contracts.

DataCom: Outliers such as stray network elements, under/over subscription levels on virtual networks, bandwidth utilization and alternate topologies such as MPLS or Metro Ethernet.

Long Distance: Balancing cost of dedicated vs. switched, excessive duration (hold times), zero usage toll free lines, excessive payphone surcharges, unusual international calling patterns, opportunities to minimize intrastate calling.

Wireless: Individual rate plans, pooling programs, zero usage devices, flat rate versus measured usage data plans.
