| CFO's Telecom-related expenses are one of the fast growing expenses per employee and likely the one with the least amount of financial controls due to the complexity involved. When reviewing your organization's expenses for your wide-area network, long distance, Internet access, wireless, local dial tone and related telecom expenses, what concerns you the most? Each category of telecoms services has its own peculiar and specialized vernacular, pricing and procurement strategies. Procurement in these areas every two to three years hardly puts an expert from your staff up against the highly-trained and experienced negotiators from the service providers. Telecom contracts are not standard, and negotiations have substantial impact on the final pricing and contract terms. Teligistics is a recognized leader in telecom services contract negotiation, telecom service RFP (request for pricing) creation and management.
