Struggling to make sense of your telecom bills? If you use several telecom providers and are consistently surprised by what you’re paying each billing cycle, telecom expense management with eSquared can help. Here’s a look at what telecom expense management is and how it can save your company money.
What Is Telecom Expense Management?
Telecom expense management, or TEM, is a service that allows a company to monitor and manage its telecom expenses from a single dashboard. If you have significant telecom costs, TEM can help you understand your current telecom spend and how to plan for future expenses.
Most TEM solutions integrate expenses from your company’s wireless plan, voice services, and data services. It can also include your onsite ethernet and your cloud technology costs, such as cloud-based server expenses. If you use several different telecom services, TEM is an essential tool to understanding your telecom usage and controlling costs.
What Are the Benefits of TEM?
The primary benefit of using TEM at your company is uncovering ways to save on your telecom bills. A TEM system collects data on your telecom service usage. Armed with this data, you can find opportunities to save money by eliminating underutilized services and correcting overcharges, discrepancies, and violations of your telecom contracts. If you work with a TEM provider like eSquared, we can help you negotiate better terms with your telecom vendors.

TEM provides historical data about your telecom usage that you can use to plan for your future spending, even when your costs fluctuate or a company’s billing practices change. What’s more, you can take this data and break down your spending by department to see exactly where you’re telecom dollars are being spent.
