If you're an IT manager, it won't take long to answer that question. Between updating old systems, adding more apps for end users, and attracting new talent, another $100K would be welcome.
So where can you find that kind of money?
Through an audit of your telecom inventory and services. But not just any audit. We speak regularly to IT managers who are proud to have saved 4% off their annual telecom through an internal audit. That's great, but …
Most don't realize they could be saving even more. Much more in fact.

That's why when IT managers want to save serious dollars, they turn to professionals. Doing so will save them about 25-45% on their annual telecom spend.
Here's how the pros do it:
And, if the auditor is from TTI, they will do even more. That includes an optimization of your existing services and rates. It also includes documenting areas of savings and identifying cost reductions you can act on immediately to ensure best in class rates for your telecom spend and type of service.
