Telecom Services

Sourcing Management

At timescales agreed with you, Veropath will review the telecoms services you are currently receiving from your incumbent network providers in terms of:

  • Order process
  • Support process
  • Provision process
  • Billing and reporting process
  • Account and service management
  • Contractual structure
  • Financial structure

Reliable telecoms data that you can clearly understand

Tariff Benchmarking

Veropath will benchmark your current telecoms assets and expenditure profile (using initial data loads and continued analysis) against the latest and most competitive market tariffs available at that time.  
 
This will be delivered through the following steps:
 
  • Comprehensive business requirements

This is an extension of the initial interviews with stakeholders in respect of your service requirements.  The aim here is to truly understand your objectives and aims of your telecoms services and provision.

  • Request for proposals (RFP)
Based on the output from comprehensive business requirements meetings and existing contract review Veropath will draft an RFP for you to review and authorise.  This RFP will directly reflect your specific aims and objectives for their fixed line, mobile and/or data services and will have the added value of specific industry intelligence from Veropath experience and expertise.

 

  • Anonymous RFP submission
Veropath will issue the RFP to telecommunication service providers agreed in writing (“Agreed Providers”) in the format set out in an Agreed Providers Schedule issued by Veropath without disclosing the name of your organisation.  The use of an anonymous approach allows you to include the incumbent in the RFP market approach.

 

  • Tariff comparison
Upon receipt of full provider responses all tariff detail will be loaded onto Veropath’s benchmarking database so that your current profile can be analysed against the market responses.

 

Thanks to accurate facts telecoms tariff benchmarking allows you to make sure that you get the best possible rates and T&Cs as well as helping you to ensure that any new contracts you agree to will meet your business needs, rather than your telecoms network providers.

 

Procurement Strategy

Throughout the provision of the telecoms benchmarking exercise, Veropath will support you in relation to your organisation’s telecoms procurement strategy, including making recommendations in relation to:
 
  • General strategy and tactics concerning the procurement process
  • Negotiation of deals with network providers
  • Agreeing terms and conditions with providers
