There are two basic categories for saving money on your company's expenditure for communications.

Telecom Expense Management, which deals with wireline equipment and services, as well as wireless. It is also abbreviated as TEM.

Wireless Expense Management. The name makes it fairly obvious. WEM is concerned only with your wireless equipment and services.

Not all companies require an extensive wireline phone system. You may have a small business with a single phone line to the office, but you may have a large army of sales people or service personnel who rely on cell phones and/or data transfer equipment. Other companies may be the opposite, or perhaps a combination of the two.

Regardless of what your telecom needs are, without properly managing them you are surely spending more than you need. In today's economy you need to concentrate on growing your business, not spending hours tediously going over stacks of invoices, checking for better rates on service, or attempting to keep an accurate inventory of equipment. That is where companies that specialize in TEM and WEM come into the picture.


Whether you want to have a specialist tackle your entire telecom usage, or perhaps just a single aspect of it, a good TEM/WEM company can dig deep into your expenditures and help you wring every spare dollar out of it. The key is to find a company that is versatile enough to meet your particular needs. Some TEM/WEM companies have expertise in just one or two aspects. Others can tackle everything within the spectrum. It simply makes sense to hire the latter. A single team can coordinate and organize the optimization of your telecom spend much more efficiently than several separate entities.

No, TEM/WEM is not a free service, but in a vast majority of cases it will find and recover more wasteful spending than the fees they charge. Imagine what the CEO will say when he finds that you recommended TEM/WEM for his company, and you saved thousands of dollars a month. Get ready for that new corner office with the great view.
