Government now can leverage TEM tools and services to optimize their telecom budget
Central government is in an enviable position for TEM initiatives aimed at providing telecom expense management services to, or in collaboration with other federal government agencies using the leverage of telecom volume to optimize telecom spend at a large scale.
Solutions for lowering and managing rising telecommunications costs in the government sector can’t come soon enough. Telecom may be packaged in with other agency ICT assets, but when it comes to managing costs, it hasn’t been a priority.
Gartner research estimates that 2 to 14 percent of telecom charges are in error. As usage continues to skyrocket, it’s leaving a trail of mounting bills to pay, legions of billing cycles to deal with and a growing number of suppliers to juggle. Lack of time and ability to thoroughly oversee telecom charges and reconcile vendor bills to avoid overcharges only adds to the problem.
These concerns are making telecom expense management a priority and drive the demand for software solutions that can manage telecom expenses that provide a comprehensive, centralized way to accurately account for telecom asset use, spot improper use, highlight billing inaccuracies and rein in costs.
As government operates more and more as business enterprises and manage many of the same costs, compliance and security concerns, they can expect to spend between 25 and 35 percent of their IT budgets on telecommunications assets and services.
Telecom expense management is now part of the asset management process, and provides the intelligence and automation to account for the entire lifecycle of mobile fixed voice, data communications, equipment, invoices and orders – and eliminate wasteful spending.
Convergence software for telecom expense management is available as a customer-hosted or Convergence-hosted deployment.
Our Telecom Management Platform software applications can provide governance and fiscal accountability of the government telecommunications expenses and capabilities for auditing and reconciling costs. It provides real-time controls, giving agencies the upper hand in identifying problems as they take place rather than after the fact. Another benefit to automated processes is the relief it provides when accounting for assets, invoicing and reporting, and optimizing contracts and network configurations.
Like any enterprise, the central government sector is in pressing need for a complete telecom expense management application to manage the full life-cycle, from procurement to pay, for all telecom expense management service types.
