Solution offers enterprises groundbreaking visibility after contract signature – with ongoing tracking of the optimal timing for renegotiation
Wednesday, July 25, 2007
ProfitLine, the leading provider of outsourced telecom expense management (TEM) solutions, today announced the launch of their Sourcing Leverage Meter as part of their Contract Administration offering. The new solution offers an unprecedented view into telecom contract performance, including continually updated dashboards showing status of major milestones and commitment levels, position of pricing against current market rates, tracking of negotiation leverage on an ongoing basis and more.
"There are huge savings which can be obtained when an enterprise negotiates a world-class telecom contract, but unfortunately many companies do not have the tools to properly monitor their contracts and are usually starting the re-negotiation process way too late," said ProfitLine Founder and Chief Strategy Officer Rick Valencia. "We felt it was imperative to develop an offering to help our clients take advantage of the ample opportunities which exist throughout the life of a contract to renegotiate with carriers," says Valencia.
In addition to contract dashboards and leverage meter, ProfitLine's Contract Administration service offering includes a strategic review session to ensure clients stay abreast of the latest industry trends & carrier consolidation impacts, as well as a Sourcing Strategy Development session, which includes all of the components needed to put an organization into the best possible position before initiating a contract negotiation.
"With the number of contracts we have, and the amount of changes which have taken place in the telecom landscape, we have been eagerly awaiting an offering like this," said a ProfitLine Contract Administration Client. "The dashboard reports are amazing and the leverage timeline report has already shown us the most beneficial time to begin renegotiation efforts on all five of our major contracts," says the Client.
"In contract negotiations leverage is king," said Valencia. "With this offering, we have accounted for all of the critical factors which contribute to negotiation leverage, and our ongoing monitoring of all contracts will help our clients develop a negotiation strategy timed to produce dramatic results."
