Expense reduction remains a number-one priority for American businesses today, and telecommunications is one of the most ideal targets for reining in expenses. Not only is telecom a top business expense—often accounting for 10-20% of indirect corporate spend—it is also a segment loaded with cost reduction opportunities.

Telecommunications savings can be found in many places:

• Telecom invoices, which are inherently complex and confusing, consistently contain errors. According to Aberdeen Research, on average 7-10% of bills are incorrect.
• New services, both IP and wireless, have been rapidly purchased but not carefully and continuously scrutinized for savings opportunities.
• Lower available rate plans on all services, new and traditional, constantly alter best available pricing.
• Business cycles, mergers and acquisitions as well as natural change occur without inventory adjustments.
• With the advent of offshore outsourcing, businesses can leverage the expertise of offshore finance analysts, cross-trained on telecommunications, to achieve significant cost savings. This helps free internal resources to focus on core business activities.

Although cost reduction is almost always considered an important business initiative, the constraints on time and a lack of permanent telecom staff usually preclude optimal "in-house" results. This is where GSG comes in.
