Savings Areas
Billing Rate Errors • Charges in excess of your contracted rates are eligible for refunds going back 2 years.
Billing Service Errors • You may be paying for lines you don’t even have. If so you are eligible for refunds going back a year or more.
Surplus Services • Unused and excess lines can be disconnected to reduce your bill.
Current Pricing • Ensure you are paying going rates. Renegotiating with your existing carriers (or switching carriers if necessary) often provides significant savings.
Process
Total Telecom Consulting does of all the work. We manage the project and put in place the changes you approve.
Your role is information provider and authorizer (which involves a kick-off meeting to provide relevant details about your infrastructure and business, provide copies of bills and other pertinant documents, sign the occaisional LOA, meet with vendors if/when needed, approve service/system changes).
Total Telecom Consulting facilitates any orders and plans/executes changes. Total Telecom Consulting remains available to you after the project for ongoing advice regarding your telecom and technology infrastructure.
