TEMScan

This service measures the savings potential through TEM software and services for your organization. The service may cover all of your telecom spend (ImpactScan) or focus on Voice and Wireless (QuickScan), data communications (NetScan), Telecom Assets (AssetScan) or particular telecom sub domains (InSight). The service provides you with the opportunity assessment and insight in the savings potential from the execution of a TEM initiative prior to starting it.

TEMAudit

This comprehensive service combines a team of professionals with decades of experience in audit and dispute management, with Convergence’s TEM software. The historic billing assurance audit identifies, corrects, and collects operator billing errors from past invoices, while the ongoing audit utilizes Convergence’s automated software to detect and report on future errors and provides easy-to-use Dashboards and a Savings Tracker to display results. Customers often save more than 20 percent of their telecom spend through these audit capabilities.

TEMSourcing

With Telecom Expense Management providing the potential to reduce telecom spend by 20% to over 40 percent, this service offers a first important step of expert contract negotiation backed up by performing benchmarking, RFP and reverse auction software to optimize contract terms. TEMSourcing covers fixed voice, mobile, data and infrastructure optimization services. TEMSourcing services include fixed price and incentive based Telecom Tariff Optimization (TTO), Telecom Network Optimization (TNO), Telecom Asset Optimization (TAO) as well as specific services for SME customers (SmartSave).

TEMRFx

Evaluating an RFx i.e. a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Information (RFI) or Request for Quotation (RFQ) for new telecommunications equipment and services is an even more time- and resource intensive task than developing the RFx. Receiving, analyzing, scoring, weighing and deciding objectively which bids should make it to the short list and finally making the selection is a science by itself.

TEMInventory

To establish an accurate telecom infrastructure inventory and set the basis for a comprehensive TEM practice, the TEMInventory demarcation service captures accurate counts of locations, circuits, vendors, and equipment within an organization.

TEMFoundation

The TEMFoundation service consists of a consolidated fixed and mobile communications inventory creation paired with a comprehensive communications bill audit and optimization. Together these elements enable clients to realize significant, ongoing savings by identifying hidden waste and process inefficiencies and redundancies. The TEMFoundation service is also used to establish a baseline standard prior to entering into carrier contract negotiations. Designed as a virtually cost- and risk-free investment option, the two-part service applies cost savings realized through bill auditing and optimizations to offset the costs of building a comprehensive enterprise-wide communications inventory.

The CPO and his procurement department are concerned that telecom orders are ordered under existing agreements. The CIO is concerned about how information is securely processed. HR managers want to see the telecom policy properly implemented and respected. And the Legal department wants a say in the new agreements.
