An executive at AOTMP took time out of his hectic schedule to discuss telecom cost-cutting strategies in a six-minute long podcast.
In the podcast, “A Proven Approach for Telecom Cost-Cutting Strategies in the Enterprise,” Tim Colwell, vice president of knowledge at AOTMP, focuses on managing an enterprise telecom environment.
Colwell talks about how enterprises can expand telecom management programs beyond expense and take an enterprise-wide focus to improve overall efficiency in the environment. He also touches on what trends he’s seeing in today’s enterprises, why companies should re-evaluate existing solutions and other topics.
“We all know enterprises are looking at cutting expenses across the board, and telecom and IT budgets are no exception,” Colwell says, in the podcast. “Even over the last few years, we’ve seen CIOs being asked to leverage new technology, support more employees, and expand operations while working with a shrinking budget.”
Colwell says enterprises are making more concerted efforts to improve the processes they use to manage their telecom services and to take a more proactive approach to improving efficiency and optimizing spending, rather than just cutting costs.
