Telecom Audit

10-15% annual savings

The first step to understanding how to control your company’s communications costs is a telecom audit. According to experts, over 75% of the telecom invoices customers receive from vendors have billing errors, costing organizations up to 12% of their annual telecom expenses in inflated costs.

In-house telecom audits are frequently inefficient.

Our ability to leverage 17 years of telecom audit experience, including a long history of audits, negotiations and experience working with carriers enables Delta Group to negotiate credits and work with your vendor to ensure you have the services you need for your business. Historically, organizations that perform their own telecom audits can expect to cut expenses by 3-5% provided they have the telecom audit knowledge, expertise, enough time and resources focused on the task, and effective negotiation skills to recover money from carriers. Through Delta Group’s experienced Professional Services expert, organizations that take advantage of our Telecom Auditing service often experience reductions in excess of 10-15% of their annualized telecom expense.

Delta Group’s Telecom Audit service provides a complete historical audit of services throughout your enterprise, including all expenses in your voice and data services – to recover refunds and credits for your organization. With almost two decades of telecom expense management experience, Delta Group offers the expertise and processes developed through years of studying the industry.

Our Telecom Auditing services provide you with the opportunity to obtain the largest refund possible. Through our process, identifying potential telecom billing errors represents only 20% of the time and effort to complete the validation. The remaining time is spent reconciling with service providers to resolve the claim, correct the errors on the billing and secure the maximum refunds possible.
