Immediate Cost Reductions in Your Telecom Spend

Voice, data and mobility are becoming increasingly biological to every business, and spending is on the rise. The complexity of telecommunications technologies, contracts and billing make it difficult to assure that you have competitive pricing and terms, and maximum flexibility to respond to changing business needs.

NPI's telecommunications expense management (TEM) services give you that assurance.

Our consultants have assessed and negotiated thousands of telecom purchases - they know the ropes and accelerate your ability to assess current spend; shop rates, discounts and credits across carriers to get the optimal service at the optimal price and terms; and rationalize disparate offerings so you can compare apples to apples.

Over 95% of the clients we assess are overspending on telecom. NPI serves as a temporary expansion of their sourcing team, providing expert bandwidth that helps them cut data center, call center and general business telecom expenses faster.

NPI focuses specifically on sourcing and contract optimization - the areas that deliver the most immediate impact to your budget. Our service is self-funding and our fees are 100% results-driven. NPI's voice, data and mobility spend management service includes:

• Asset & Usage Inventory: Conduct company-wide inventory of telecom assets, usage and spending to identify cost saving opportunities.


• Price Benchmarking & Strategy: Compare current contract terms and rates with fair market value. Develop a customized strategy for achieving immediate and long-term savings.


• Sourcing & Contract Optimization: Execute the telecom purchasing process at any phase, from RFP development and contract negotiations to mid-term vendor re-negotiations, for immediate and long-term savings.


• Rate & Pooling Plan Optimization: Determine the most favorable rate structure based on your voice, data and mobility usage and peak service times.


• Cost Risk Mitigation: Co-develop a telecom expense control strategy that reduces financial risk by providing telecom usage, pricing and auditing best practices.


• Policy & Procedure Development: Develop customized telecom spend management policies and procedures to maximize investments.


• Billing Analysis & Audit: While NPI does not offer a stand-alone bill auditing service, our experts do analyze your invoices as part of our optimization service in order to identify inaccuracies, discrepancies and areas of concern.


• TEM Software Selection: There are a number of software solutions for ongoing telecom expense administration. NPI can direct you to a best-fit resource and ensure you pay fair market value. We can also help you select a service provider for ongoing provisioning, invoice auditing and other day-to-day telecom operational needs you may wish to outsource (we have no business relationships with these suppliers in order to maintain impartiality).
