Optimized Telecom Value

Situation

Merging of two Fortune 50 companies

Disparate contracts and complex voice/date network architectures

Larger company had a long-term contract, a high annual commitment, numerous sub-commitments, and no mid-contract benchmark

Detailed review of commitments, rates, and services across carrier contracts

Identified rate opportunities and renegotiated contracts to position for immediate savings and future leverage

Over $5M in annual savings, which was 67% higher than Big 4 projected savings, lowered annual commitment to carrier by 25%

Significant cost savings without change to service levels

New contracts aligned for future technologies

Strengthened position for future negotiations with mid-contract benchmark clause
