ATUG/Phoneware Breakfast
"Telecommunication Expense Management (TEM) - Are you managing your Communications spend effectively?"
“There is significant waste in the telecommunication spend of many enterprises today. Enterprises should investigate reducing this waste with technology.” *

* Source: David Neil, Vice President – Gartner Group

For many organisations, Communications Expense Management is the last unmanaged cost driver, with little or no visibility of the accuracy with which they are managing their communications costs – genuine bottom line costs.

Managing multiple invoices from multiple carriers, ensuring that contracts are up to date and that invoices match contracts across a broad spectrum of communications assets from fixed lines to mobiles and PDAs is a mammoth task – which can only be effectively handled through Process Automation.

Gary Trewin, Principal, of Essential Utilities Corporation (EUC) will present the evolution of the Telecommunication Expense Management (TEM) discipline, the typical problems experienced by large organisations and how how to achieve sustainable savings through business automation.

Kal Savi, TEM Consultant from Phoneware Communication Systems Pty Ltd, will discuss its latest solution, Phoneware CMP. Phoneware’s CMP application, whether installed on your premises or delivered as a managed service can provide you with visibility, control and deliver savings that might otherwise have gone unnoticed – even if you manage your communications spend significantly better than those analysed byGartner Group in the statement above. Hear how repetitive manual processes, billing errors, carrier contract audits and mobile management can be fully automated and human error be avoided through the use of CMP.
