Frequently Asked Questions

How does vendor-agnostic procurement save money? When you buy directly from a provider's sales team, that team has one job: sell you their product.

When you buy directly from a provider's sales team, that team has one job: sell you their product. We benchmark pricing across the full market, use competitive pressure between vendors, and negotiate from real comparison data. We receive a commission from whichever provider you select, and the terms are the same across every provider in our catalog, so there is no financial reason to steer you toward any one vendor. The result is consistently better terms, pricing, and contract protections than most organizations get on their own.

What does a telecom expense audit include? We review your current contracts, invoices, service inventory, and usage data to find billing errors, unused services,

We review your current contracts, invoices, service inventory, and usage data to find billing errors, unused services, rate overpayment, and opportunities to consolidate contracts. Most audits uncover 15 to 30 percent in recoverable overcharges or cost reductions within the first 60 days.

Do you replace our existing vendor relationships? We strengthen your negotiating position alongside your current vendors and internal teams.

No. We work alongside your existing vendors and internal teams as an independent advisor. The goal is making sure you get competitive pricing, solid service levels, and strong contract terms. We strengthen your negotiating position; we do not replace your current relationships.

How long does a vendor procurement engagement take? Four to six weeks for focused negotiations; three to six months for multi-category engagements.

It depends on scope. A focused contract negotiation typically takes four to six weeks. A larger engagement across multiple service categories may take three to six months. We set clear milestones and report progress throughout.

What is telecom expense management, and how is it different from a bill audit? A bill audit is a point-in-time review: we go through your invoices, contracts,

A bill audit is a point-in-time review: we go through your invoices, contracts, and service inventory to find billing errors, unused services, and overcharges. Telecom expense management is the ongoing version. It includes continuous invoice validation, usage monitoring, contract renewal tracking, and vendor performance reporting. Most clients start with an audit, recover immediate savings, and then decide whether ongoing management makes sense for their volume and complexity.

Do you handle IT vendor management beyond telecom? Cloud, cybersecurity, UCaaS, contact center, and SaaS licensing — same process, full IT portfolio.

Yes. Telecom is where most engagements start because that is where the billing complexity and overcharges tend to concentrate. But the same process applies to cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity tools, UCaaS, contact center platforms, and SaaS licensing. We manage procurement, contract negotiation, and ongoing vendor accountability across your full IT portfolio.

Can you run an RFP process for us? RFP build, distribution to 300+ providers, response normalization, and negotiation through to contract.

Yes. We build the RFP, distribute it to qualified vendors from our network of 300+ providers, normalize the responses so you can compare them side by side, and manage the Q&A and negotiation process through to contract execution. The RFP structure is designed to surface real differences in pricing, SLAs, and implementation timelines rather than letting vendors hide behind feature lists.

What kind of savings should we expect from a vendor procurement engagement? Most audits find 15-30% in overcharges; renegotiations typically produce 10-25% on renewal terms.

It depends on your current spend and how recently contracts were last negotiated. Most telecom and IT bill audits uncover 15 to 30 percent in recoverable overcharges or cost reductions within the first 60 days. Contract renegotiations typically produce 10 to 25 percent savings on renewal terms. We provide a savings estimate before engagement so you can weigh the cost against the expected return.
