TEM for Data Network Communications

Ongoing network inventory and optimization management service 

BPO for Data Network Communications

Keeping network management under control

Organizations typically first engage in data communications network optimization in order to cut costs and relieve network congestion. But typical technical network optimization solutions only reduce network traffic or use by ten or twenty percent. In contrast, a Telecom Expense Management Network Optimization (TNO) solution, provided in Convergence’s TEMSolutions Professional Services offerings reduces network expense and utilization typically by 20% to +40%.

TEMCare Data Communications takes over from there and keeps network management under control in an ongoing process to ensure an accurate inventory is maintained, expenses are validated and stay optimized.

Our ongoing inventory management service is part of our TEMCare Data network management services. We act as a provisioning center for all of your telecom needs.

TEMCare Data Communications will enable your employees to have a SPOC (single point of contact) to order WAN services and hardware. Our processes reconcile each request to the inventory to ensure there are not existing services in place capable of handling the service. In addition we provide an approval process within your organization before we place any orders with the service provider.

When everything and everyone must be connected, communications capabilities and networking technologies are fundamental enablers of success and need to be available on time and within budget.

TEMCare Data Communications Services provide you subject to the SLA level with all or part of the following services:
