BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - December 10, 2009) - In 2009, CFOs and CIOs had to drastically reduce
telecom, mobility, and network costs. Based on primary research of over
120 organizations, new and timely research from
Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company
(
NYSE:
HHS), "
Quick Fixes to Cut Telecom Costs," allows
corporate telecom and network departments to see if they took the correct
approach or still have opportunities to improve their telecom cost
structure in 2009.
The majority of companies managing telecom in 2009 sacrificed service or
costs to meet the needs of their executive staff and company. In fact, the
bottom 30% of respondents in this year's research effort actually saw a 9%
increase in their telecom and network spend last year in a time of economic
turmoil. This report shows how top organizations successfully cut these
infrastructure costs without reducing service levels or crippling employee
productivity. By reading this report, companies will be able to identify
the strategies and solutions used by top performers to cut costs without
reducing service.
"Enterprise companies are always challenged to minimize communications
costs while maintaining
state-of-the-art networking, mobility, and collaboration capabilities,"
said Hyoun Park, Research Analyst, Aberdeen. "By focusing on contracts,
plan and feature optimization, inventory management, and financial
visibility tools that lead to success, all enterprise departments can
quickly implement successful solutions to improve their data and voice
infrastructure costs."
Through this practical and business-relevant research, readers will learn
how to negotiate more efficient contracts, gain both invoice and asset
visibility, and effectively enforce the terms and conditions that result in
reducing telecom expenses without crippling key business operations.
