Three Practices for TEM

When investing in Telecom Expense Management, you are looking to have your wireless, data and voice environment managed by someone else so that you can reduce risks and save company money.  TEM increases the accuracy of your expenses and tracking and reporting and you can eliminate fraud and other unauthorized charges.  There are barely any mistakes when it comes to your telecom bills.  Doesn’t that sound like a relief?

Now that you have invested in a TEM solution, there are few other things you may want to take a peek at.  Don’t just think that now that you don’t have to manage your telecom expenses that you shouldn’t be paying attention to any of your bills.  We recommend a few practices that you should follow to make sure that you are taking full advantage of your solution, and that you are continuing to have TEM success!  We have narrowed down the top 3 practices when it comes to continuing to reduce your telecom expenses.

1. The first thing that we recommend is to maintain your own records.

Although TEM will manage your expenses for you, it is always important to continue to keep a file for your own records to avoid any clerical errors and for comparison purposes.  This includes, keeping signed contracts in a file, documents of installed equipment, version numbers etc.

2. Another tip that we recommend to do with your TEM solution is to continue to review your monthly bills.

This includes, having knowledge of where your money is going.  A TEM solution manages this for you as well, but having knowledge and double checking can’t hurt.  Your monthly bill review should also be done by the same person each month for better accuracy.

3. Lastly, understand everything that your TEM solution is offering you and make sure that you understand your contracts. Know your termination penalties, your renewal policy and expiration dates.  Having knowledge of your contracts will help your TEM solution run effectively, and you’ll feel more confident having a little bit of control over your telecom bills.
