To serve as technology consultants to our clients, we need to stay up to speed with the latest IT trends and solutions. To achieve that, our IT experts attend weekly training sessions conducted by various IT solution providers. Based on our extensive experience and sales volume with the suppliers, we receive exclusive, direct and usually in-person training from these suppliers. Our Tech Talks blog series offers a snapshot of these educational sessions.
A global pharmaceutical company faced challenges with IT services and cost management following a few substantial acquisitions. Their in-house staff struggled to contain telecom and technology spending. The organization turned to one of our partners for enterprise technology management services and software with the highest level of integration and customization in the industry.
Our partner’s IT services and cost control management solution allowed the company to go from having over 130 invoices with multiple providers to 100 percent invoice consolidation, thanks to business intelligence tools and the ability to visualize data via a cloud-based portal. Our partner also reduced the client’s telecom spending by nearly 35 percent by utilizing business intelligence and machine learning to assess network requirements and implement budgetary and network service consolidation.
If you want to simplify the management of your IT environment (including data, voice, mobility, cloud and software) and contain costs, you should consider working with the same supplier. Our technology consultants recently met with the enterprise tech management solution provider’s team to discuss the features and business benefits of their software and services. Here’s what you should know about their background and how they can help you realize significant savings.
Provider overview
Founded in 1995, this telecom service provider leverages machine learning, advanced systems, and tech expertise to optimize their clients’ networks, lowering overall expenses. With their enterprise technology management services and platform, they enable finance, procurement, and IT departments to better visualize inventories and more efficiently manage large-scale and complex business communications services and their associated costs.
Featured offering: Enterprise technology management with 150% ROI
With their enterprise technology management software and services, this supplier typically saves clients 18 to 25 percent on tech and telecom. They collect data directly from carriers via multiple feeds (FTTP, EDI, and ETL), build centralized databases and intuitive dashboards, and establish an in-depth inventory to ensure you aren’t paying more than necessary. They automate as many processes as possible, freeing up your internal staff to focus on other tasks.
Their software will integrate with all your current and future systems (e.g., ServiceNow) via REST API connectivity and customization. Ultimately, any savings they identify are 100 percent yours. In fact, they guarantee they’ll find 150 percent of their monthly fee in savings, or they’ll pay you the difference. In over 20 years in business, however, they have yet to have to make good on that promise because they’ve always succeeded in finding significant savings.
