Telecom
Service Inventory and Billing services represents a significant
savings to industry, government and education organizations
concern with telecom expense management. Why
1.) Telecom Service Inventory and Billing services kills
Fraudulent billing - Estimated to cost organizations $143
billion a year.
2.) Telecom Service Inventory and Billing services monitors
customized carrier contracts - Resulting in money spent on
services or minutes never used.
3.) Telecom Service Inventory and Billing service provide
organizations with processes to verify what they spend on
telecom services, with whom, and how.
The fact is most organizations have a mountain of telecom
invoices that are received every month to the tune of being the
third largest expense for the organization. Telecom expenses
include local, long distance, wide area networks, wireless, and
equipment. These expenses come in the form of paper invoices as
well CDs many with a minimum of 25 reports that have no
correlation to what is needed for a proper evaluation. Most of
the individuals that sign off for payment wear thirty other hats
and do not have the time to investigate every individual charge.
Many questions arise as to how efficient the management of
telecom expense is for an organization:
Could you be paying for unused or idle telecom assets?
The fact is your may still be paying for disconnect circuit or
wireless devices taken from former employees. Unless you do an
inventory audit you will never know. This is the one of the
basics for telecom expense management. You must establish a
current up to date status and monitor it on an ongoing basis.
You need to accurately know in real-time the cost, department
and responsibility for you telecom assets. Below are some
typical issues we have found.
Orphaned inventory this is telecom inventory is not being used
at all like router that has not been reassigned or phone service
to an office that has been relocated or converted to VoIP. This
represents the ultimate in underutilization of telecom assets.
Ghost inventory - This inventory shows up on bills but does not
exist. What a deal youre paying for assets that do not exist.
Unless you compared to the actual inventory, this ghost
inventory billings can continue for years.
Underutilized Capacity Our analysis often find that in the
transition from traditional wired infrastructures to wireless
that the wired lines are never dropped. Since the trend to
wireless has now exceeded wired applications corporate America
now has a significant overcapacity that they are paying for
every month. Are you still paying for wired voice lines when
your employees have the option of using VoIP or wireless? What
are the cost analyses that tell what the most efficient
technology is?
Are your telecom charges correct?
Industry evaluations indicate that at a minimum around 10% of
your telecom charges are incorrect. In some cases this figure is
even higher. This, means that every month you are paying more
that you need to and that you need to identify that portion of
your telecom expense that is incorrect.
Our business is to ensure that you have a comprehensive view of
your telecom assets, billings and ordering processes. You should
be able to validate inventory against invoices and billings
against services.

A note on Refund Systems vs. the big software
companies. Not all telecom expense management companies offer
telecom expense management solutions that fit your organization's
exact needs. In fact, many of the vendors offering telecom
expense management software approach our auditors to outsource a
telecom expense audit for their clientele. These are usually
companies that are more interested in selling telecom software than
they are in a traditional invoice audit. That's why they
outsource. At Refund Systems, we offer telecommunications consulting
services in the truest sense of the term. You may need a
software solution but we would first offer and far less expense,
less time-consuming, and more profitable traditional audit and
telecom asset management solution to minimize your cost and maximize
your profit. In short, we'd rather analyze phone bill than sell
software.
