Many businesses focus on supply chain, labor, or operational costs when looking to reduce expenses—but telecom costs are often overlooked. Yet, telecom services can represent a significant portion of a company’s monthly spend. A strategic Telecom Expense Management (TEM) program can save businesses 20–50% on wireless, wireline, and cloud services while improving operational efficiency.
What is Telecom Expense Management (TEM)?
TEM is the process of managing, auditing, and optimizing all telecom-related expenses across a business. It covers everything from wireless and wireline services to cloud-based applications. A comprehensive TEM program doesn’t just track bills—it ensures contracts, discounts, and service usage align with your company’s actual needs.
Why TEM Matters
Without TEM, businesses risk overpaying for unused lines, missing discounts or credits, and carrying outdated contracts. By leveraging an expert provider like Business Solutions Group, companies gain visibility into usage patterns, cost drivers, and potential savings opportunities.
Key Elements of TEM
- Fair Market Pricing: Ensure your rates are competitive across all carriers.
- Programs & Incentives: Audit carriers for rebates, credits, and promotional incentives.
- Lifecycle Management: Regularly review, renew, and adjust services to match actual usage.
How TEM Works in Practice
With a centralized SaaS platform, businesses can consolidate billing, track usage, monitor compliance, and identify savings opportunities in real time. Coupled with expert guidance, TEM becomes not just a cost-cutting measure, but a strategic advantage.
Telecom Expense Management isn’t just about cutting bills—it’s about creating transparency, accountability, and efficiency in a complex and often overlooked part of your business. Starting with a TEM audit or platform can be the first step toward meaningful, ongoing savings.
