As companies face additional pressure to control expenses and maintain profitability in a recessionary environment, a new report from Aberdeen, a Harte-Hanks Company, demonstrates that companies actively controlling their telecom expenses reduce them by over 30% compared to companies that do not analyze their telecom costs at all.
The report demonstrates that companies must invest in new organizational capabilities and technologies to excel in telecom lifecycle management. The expenses related to telecom go far beyond direct landline and mobile device costs. In today's expanded telecom environment, telecom expenses now also include categories such as asset insurance, contract negotiations, procurement, security, federal compliance, and dispute resolution.
"In today's recessionary environment, every CIO needs to get leaner and more efficient. As mobile devices have evolved into the computer-on-a-belt, there are exponentially more concerns and expenses related to telecom," said Ralph Rodriguez, senior vice president of technology and author of this report. "A comprehensive telecom lifecycle management solution will allow any company with a significant telecom or mobility investment to cut its expenses."
