Case Study: Telco Audits Save $$$ Thousands 

Organisations Paying Too Much 

Many organisations have staff using more than one form of communication device or services they don't use, costing them money for each connection. 

We’ve helped several clients save significant money through a review of their telecommunications use:  

  • They may be paying for multiple devices or connections for staff, where one would do 

  • They may be on the wrong service with their provider 

  • Their business needs have changed.

 

The case studies below is a summary of work completed.  If you are interested in finding out more get in touch - email Kerry.McFetridge@edgeconsulting.nz

Are you interested to find out where you are likely to make savings? We've put together a short score card that identifies areas to focus on and provides practical suggestions to improve.

Large Multi-Branch Organisation 

The Client 

  • A large agricultural manufacturer with approximately 50 locations around New Zealand 

  • Telephony is used for communicating internally, with suppliers and with customers 

  • They wanted to move to Teams Calling as a single telephony platform, allowing them to remove analogue access, rationalise the overlap between staff using a mobile and Teams calling end point, and reduce their telco costs  

  • Teams calling would also allow them to introduce a more consistent telephony experience for their customers at the store level 

  • In addition, they were planning to replace terminals at the store level and needed to ensure that the full capability of Teams could be used in these locations 

What We Did  

  • We were engaged to audit their Telco spend and optimise the migration to Teams 

  • We undertook an in-depth telecommunications audit  

  • We identified and rationalised their legacy services, and optimised the use of Teams and mobile services across their staff 

  • We identified where Teams users were only receiving or making less than two calls per month 

  • We reviewed their telco services and billing  

Outcome 

  • The audit revealed a large number of services could be relinquished, leading to a reduction in the number of Teams Calling end points and the removal of all analogue services   

  • We identified charges that did not align with their telco contract 

  • We ensured that all services and costs were clearly described and invoiced correctly  

  • The client gained clarity of their monthly invoices  

  • Cost savings of up to $4,000 per month; $48,000 per annum
