Technology Expense Management For Government

Government communication contracts impose increased vendor accountability

Handling government technology expense management has become a daunting task.

The various government and military organizations need to do more with less. From Municipalities to National to European government agencies, they all face significant challenges when managing one of their most critical and strategic assets: their technology assets and costs.

The demands however for being more responsive and accessible, providing higher security and finding better ways to collaborate are stronger than ever.

Managing technology expenses, tracking voice and data network infrastructure, and purchasing mobile devices places a growing administrative challenge on these organizations.

Their teams are asked to do more with less, which represents an -often- overwhelming request in the face of the ever-changing innovations of today’s technology needs and the huge volume of invoices that support them.

Government agencies experience difficulties with managing contracts, invoice management and other administrative tasks. It’s also a challenge to manually audit, identify and resolve vendor disputes, allocate costs and charge-back to individual agencies.

Convergence provides government users with true control and visibility over their telecom expenses, alleviating the necessity of the government agencies managing telecom on their own so they can more efficiently manage their time, respond during emergencies, and improve information dissemination and decision making.

Challenges addressed include:

  • improved transparency through strategic reporting;
  • audited invoices for cost control;
  • verified inventory of technology assets;
  • management of cloud services;
  • optimized mobile voice and data plans;
  • manage data communication services
  • streamlined contract administration;
  • centralized technology budgets, process, assets and usage based on government requirements;

Reliable uptime for all communications Government agencies increasingly depend on mobile communications to quickly respond to emergencies and mission critical issues. Convergence improves government efficiency by managing the complex procurement, inventory and mobile device management process while providing a 24/7 point of contact.

Also, with our technology-fueled managed service all technology and telecom service bills are processed electronically so they can be paid on time, avoiding potentially disastrous downtime for mission critical services. Key personnel remain available for the agency’s mission, not technology and telecom management. In order to accomplish both goals, operations are centralized and people are assigned to their core tasks, not the non-core functions such as managing technology or telecom.

Convergence has the experience government agencies need to help save significant amounts of money on technology and telecom costs, and to allow personnel to focus on the core tasks.

Government Technology Expense Management Software is increasingly used for electronic sourcing and procurement of technology and telecom services and equipment, expense management, asset management, contract management, usage management, and inventory management or procurement, and invoice management or processing. Government Agencies and other Government Organizations need Technology Expense Management to provide increased vendor accountability.
