Should you outsource to a TEM provider?
Summary
Generally speaking, yes, you should partner with a TEM provider to help you manage your telecom and communications related spend. In this article, we’ll cover four primary reasons it’s in your interest to outsource your TEM, if your company is of sufficient size (e.g., we typically recommend TEM support if your communications network spend is greater than $500k annually). To be clear, we are not advising that you layoff your internal existing staff, which is what many not familiar with the TEM world reflexively assume. It’s less about outsourcing per se, and more about a meaningful TEM partnership that will deliver expense management results sustainably over time. As noted in past articles, this is not a “one and done” type of thing; this is about cultivating a healthy and ongoing expense management culture.
