TEMCare Sourcing Management

Enables organizations to negotiate prices, terms and conditions for strategic telecom buying on a cyclical basis,  measures contract and supplier performance.

TEMCare managed sourcing assures ongoing cost containment.

Leverage our sourcing experience
and know-how in sourcing.

While Convergence Strategic Sourcing service, available in our portfolio of TEMSolutions Professional Services provides new customers with dramatic overall cost reductions for their Fixed Voice, Mobile Voice and Data, IoT, M2M, UCC and Data Communications services, the sourcing process does not end when new telecom contracts are signed.

Managed Sourcing enables organizations to negotiate prices, terms and conditions for strategic telecom buying on a cyclical basis. Service offerings by operators, new technology introductions and the pace of change in technology happen much faster than the typical three year contract term for large new contracts and require sourcing to be a cyclical process, using strategic procurement support tools and methods such as online requests for proposals, electronic sealed bids and reverse auctions.

Our years of experience in managed sourcing with telecom operators enables us to include in your contracts customized provisions and special clauses that may otherwise be overlooked or not explicitly provided by the operators.

Managed Sourcing also allows detecting on an ongoing basis, as user profiles and usage patterns change, which services and options available under current contracts and tariff plans should be procured to optimize telecom spend and avoid excess costs.

It brings visibility into contract and vendor performance and control over contract negotiation and commitments and technology supports the ongoing buying process of telecom products and services your organization buys, supports decision making in vendor selection and provides ongoing price benchmarking.

Managed Sourcing is an important component of Active Telecom Management, and contributes substantially to the 15% to 25% of cost improvements and cost avoidance we target with TEMCare Managed Services.

Managed Sourcing assumes your ongoing contract management, monitoring of commitments, and measures contract and supplier performance.

Sourcing management is a critical component of Telecom Expense Management (TEM) and requires a proactive approach to contract and supplier management. Effective buying and negotiating, supported by TEM technology has great cost containment capability and a substantial impact on your telecom expenses.

Managed Sourcing brings a best practice approach to Telecom Service Lifecycle Management (TSLM) providing:
