Telecom Expense Management FAQ

Your Questions Answered

When companies have many employees and connectivity services from multiple carriers, getting full visibility and understanding is a challenge that even the most experienced accounting teams struggle with. Stratix Telecom Expense Management does the heavy lifting for you. We use advanced software to parse all your expenses. Then, an onshore analyst assigned to you goes through all that data to give you clear reports that show who is using what and how you can save money by eliminating underused lines and equipment and/or moving to less expensive data plans.

Most accounting teams don't have the time to drill down into every charge that seems erroneous–and some of them are in the hundreds of dollars each. Our team is able to flag those charges, like activation and buy-out fees, and then follow up on the resolution. Our team will take action to activate or dispute charges, and then, in our monthly reporting, we show you what we found and track the credits back to you the following month.

Stratix Telecom Expense Management looks at your entire communications spend and drills down into what lines are overconsuming. We provide usage reports that show who the top users are so you can determine if that use is appropriate. Another big problem can be zero usage lines and equipment. Not only can you save by eliminating those lines, but zero-usage devices are still active and are a potential security concern until they are deactivated and wiped through your endpoint management platform.

We take your last three months of invoices and do an audit at no charge to you. We come back with a detailed report showing you where you can save. In some cases, we've saved customers hundreds of thousands of dollars annually.

The Stratix Telecom Expense Management team not only uses cutting-edge software solutions to analyze your expenses, but we also have a managed service where an onshore analyst assigned to you goes through the data. Not just relying on software means we're far more thorough and deliver a higher ROI than most providers. We recently took on a new customer from one of our competitors, and with Stratix's trained team carefully analyzing, we were able to identify over $100K per month in savings for that customer!

Stratix offers robust reporting that gives you complete visibility of who is using what across all the carriers you have contracts with. We provide monthly reports, and host calls to review the data and spend. We can customize and automate reporting from any of the data points in your carrier bills, as well as do cost center allocations if your organization is doing chargebacks.

There are several variables like number of lines and carriers that will make final pricing vary. You can be confident that we will provide a consistent monthly fee per device for our TEM managed services, and we will not mess around with taking a percentage of savings and cost avoidance schemes that make it hard for you to see the real results. One fee, per device, per month–call us to find out more.

Yes, TEM managed services are still valuable to identify high-usage and no-usage devices for the monthly custom reporting and to automate cost center allocations. In addition, you can add wireline services as well.
