Why Outsource What, really, is the value proposition of using an outside auditor to assess your costs?   Let's face it, your internal telecommunications staff is probably not available to do a thorough audit because they really don't have the time and it's not what they were hired to do. They are operations specialists and their focus, justifiably is on:     - Maintaining telecomm system operability     and reliability   - Implementing "Moves, Adds and Changes"     that are a key part of every dynamic         organization   - Installing, configuring and re-configuring     equipment   - Working with local and long-distance      providers to resolve service issues   - Managing end user satisfaction   This constitutes a series of full-time jobs, and the people responsible are likely to be chronically under-staffed, over-worked and under-appreciated.   Under these circumstances, engaging the skills of an outside auditor whose attention will be focused solely on cost analysis and cost reduction, is only prudent. Instead of stressing internal resources, this approach essentially delegates the critical task of auditing to an "outsourced" firm with a fixed cost formula (a percentage of savings and credits), a narrowly-defined mission, a limited timeframe and clear criteria for success.  Please contact us for more details regarding our fee.  Call us at (703) 313-8777, or send us a e-mail at allamb@allamb.com.  We look forward to talking with you.
