Audits are comprehensive and uncover savings in several buckets.
- Billing errors
- Service optimization
- Price optimization
- Monthly recurring charges (MRCs)
- Telecom usage charges

If any of these apply, you are a great candidate for a TEM audit.

- Costs on legacy copper lines are out of control
Experienced auditors have saved clients over $1.2 billion and counting
We partner with Complete Communications to offer our clients these savings to fund other important projects, such as a technology refresh/upgrade, an investment in customer experience (CX), or to offset another budget. And, with an audit, you are never out of pocket. Savings are only shared once they are realized.
How it Works
Build
The auditor collects your contracts and recent invoices to create a comprehensive inventory of your telecom equipment and services.
Corroborate
They validate that services are being billed in compliance with contracts, service orders and tariffs.
Analyze
They compare the inventory with usage data to identify any lines or services that are underused, no longer needed, or could be replaced with a lower-cost option without impacting business operations.
Inspect
They perform a forensic audit of your invoices to find billing errors and recover the money you’re owed.
Benchmark
They compare your costs with current market rates for similar services. This can indicate whether you are paying more than the market rate and could negotiate better terms or switch providers.
Implement Changes
With your approval and based on the findings and negotiations, they takes action to eliminate unnecessary services and features, correct billing errors, renegotiate contracts, or switch providers.

You might be thinking...
I don’t need a telecom audit.
If TEM is a low priority for you, know that telecom invoices often have billing errors that go unchecked for years, and most companies overspend significantly, according to Gartner. We fix that at zero cost to you.
We don’t have time for another project.
With everything on your plate, it’s difficult to prioritize telecom optimization. But that’s why we are in business. We carry the burden and work behind the scenes without disrupting your workflow.
I already have TEM software.
TEM can be extremely complex. That is why TEM software solutions exist. But they are far from perfect. Automated processes miss details and savings opportunities that TEM auditors do not.
It will take forever to see any credits or savings.
We have effectively analyzed and processed billions of dollars in client telecom expenses. We often realize savings in less than three months and fully recoup overcharges from service providers in less than a year.
