3. Reducing telecommunications costs, such as voice,
data, and wireless services, has become a growing
priority for many business leaders. Companies
seeking to reduce costs point to the fact that such
services often account for a significant portion of a
business’ total overhead. Business leaders are also
quick to cite visible market trends indicating that
costs will likely continue to grow in the future. As
executives begin to track their spending more
carefully and search for ways to save money, three
general areas are typically worthy of review: inhouse network costs, outsourced contract costs,
and service provider costs.

4. Savings can be identified by optimizing
effectiveness within each group, such as by
reviewing services and adjusting service
provider contracts to include only essential
features. Savings can also be identified by
shifting expenses between groups. For
example, in-house costs may be outsourced to
other vendors. Regardless of the strategy used,
it is essential to employ effective benchmarking
and outsourcing strategies to maximize savings
and value.
