Telcom Cost Control offers two options to analyze your
current cost structure:
Incentive
Basis
We will provide our cost analysis service on a risk-free
incentive basis. With an incentive based analysis, our
fee is based on your savings. In addition to our audit
expertise, we have extensive billing experience working
inside the carriers' billing systems. We use this knowledge
to quickly identify areas which are likely to have problems.
We will usually finish these projects within 10 weeks
of receiving bills. We will identify potential cost recoveries
and cost reductions. With the client's approval, we will
negotiate these changes with the carriers and provide
you and the carrier the information necessary to implement
changes. An incentive based analysis includes the service
details listed on the right. |
