Managing Telecom and Cellular, and Drinking Coffee

Based on experience with upper management in accounting and IT, we see the difficulty of broad responsibilities vs. limited staff time. A busy department means it's plausible that your telecom and cellular don’t get sufficient attention, which results in unnecessarily higher costs.

You and your staff can invest the time to solve the problems to lower monthly costs, but you may need to drink several cups of coffee.

There have been discrepant findings on the association between coffee consumption and risk of incident heart failure. Doctors of the Cardiovascular Epidemiology Research Unit at Harvard Medical School wrote an article that appeared in "Circulation: Heart Failure," which is published by the American Heart Association.

Doctors and researchers concluded that moderate coffee consumption is inversely associated with risk of heart failure, with the largest inverse association observed for consumption of 4 servings per day. Four servings per day is about two large cups of coffee at the popular coffee chains.

Dull Story about Disconnected Internet Circuits

Telecom and cellular administration can get tedious.  That is one reason why it gets ignored.  Or, sometimes it gets de-prioritized because of urgent problems.   

CMS saved a company an additional $3,533.66 per month. 

Problem.  The company’s telecom manager, the accounting staff, the telecom carriers, and the agent did not have the time or inclination to examine billing associated to circuits.

The company did not notice the over billing, because their costs had remained about the same. 

After the company hired CMS, we concluded that several internet circuits served no purpose.  The rub was that a vendor convinced the client that two specific circuits must not be issued disconnect orders.  CMS provided the client with photos showing that nothing was connected to those circuits. 

CMS wrestled with the carriers and vendors, and did all the work.  The savings belong 100% to the client.  The account now bills correctly. 

We remove at least 90% of telecom and cellular tasks from your to-do list, and simultaneously reduce your hard-dollar costs.  Click here for background.

$209,000 Credit

A jaded CIO exclaimed, “It’s a miracle” because the carrier credited $209,000 to his company's account. 

Prior to engaging CMS, the client’s internal telecom manager had pursued this credit for 3 years.  The carrier previously refused to issue a credit, or even partial credit.   

CMS’ time, expertise, and enthusiasm resulted in the credit to client.  And, CMS has freed staff time to pursue other key objectives.  The CIO recognized CMS’ efforts, “Thanks for continuing to drive this to completion.” 

CMS never takes a commission from carrier or client. 

What if an audit company recovered this credit?  A contingency fee of 20% to 50% would have been charged.

Example of Detail in Telecom and Cellular

Don’t laugh or roll your eyes. 

This is an example of how our detailed attention to telecommunication and cellular administration reduce monthly expense. And, no, this is not the only problem for this new client. 

A regional telecom company over billed a CMS client by $8.49 per month. CMS identified and corrected this problem with the carrier. We followed through to assure the correction appeared on the billing. 

The result is that the client saves $8.49 on this particular account. The regional telecom company issued a one-time credit of $343.68. 

Why wasn’t this fixed 2 years ago? Nobody at the client's office had the time, expertise, or interest. An audit company overlooked this issue and others because their commission (versus the hassle) was not worth the effort.

We never take a commission or contingency fee from carriers or clients. This is one reason why we excel in accruing results for our clients. 

This example of a very small correction demonstrates our detailed attention to our clients’ telecom and cellular. What did the client have to do in this situation? Nothing, that's the point.
