The cost associated with the infrastructure and utilization of communication resources represents the 2nd or 3rd largest indirect expense within an enterprise. These costs range from $2,500 to over $5,000 per employee per year. It is crucial for companies to gain control and manage communication assets with the same level of detail that other major costs categories, such as payroll, are managed. The problem is the sheer complexity associated with this task has led to either limited, or worse, no controls. Faced with multiple stacks of phone bills or substantial late fees, the normal approach is “Pay it now and we might audit it later.” As more technologies such as wireless devices come into use, the problem becomes exponentially more difficult to manage. The need for Total Telecom Financial Management becomes apparent.
