TEM and WEM Case Study
An American business and financial software company that develops and sells financial, accounting, and tax preparation software and related services for small businesses, accountants, and individuals.
The Challenge
The company began to notice that monthly telecom expenses were creeping higher and higher each month. Resources were limited and more structured expense visibility was needed to help determine root causes. The first step taken by the company included submitting an RFP for a complete telecom expense management package in an effort to control and minimize any additional telecom expense growth.
