How COMgroup's Audit Deliverables can help:

  • Our experienced telecommunications cost control audit team delivers results which are very unlikely to be found by less practiced persons; we cover the complete range of telecom services including voice, long distance, data, wireless and 800/toll-free.
  • We verify contractual compliance from your company's service providers, identify and document anomalies & errors, then facilitate the refund process from your service providers.
  • Optimization of your business' existing WAN is an area where companies can save significant money; our team reviews usage and traffic patterns to document and validate the need to re-architect or to substantiate the present configuration.
  • An understanding of comparable pricing is critical to obtaining competitive rates; our team's wide ranging experience provides a unique position when it comes to vendor contract negotiations and we leverage our knowledge to deliver best-in-class pricing.

Differentiating Factors:

  • Unlike the majority of telecom auditing companies, COMgroup is service provider 'neutral' and does not accept direct or indirect revenue from any source whatsoever, other than our clients.
  • COMgroup does not charge a percentage of client savings for 12 - 36 months; our auditing fee schedule saves a minimum of 33% when compared to the standard 50% savings share over 12 months.
  • Extensive background optimizing & redesigning enterprise-wide wireless programs.
  • COMgroup comprehends standard business cost allocation processes.
  • COMgroup is proficient at auditing a full suite of services, including voice, data, wireless, long distance and 800/toll free.

Our telecom long distance cost audit suite of services includes:

  • Fee Based/Project Audit:
    • Time & expense with no recovery or net-savings share
    • Recommended if:
      • Company does wish to share savings
      • Company does not care to provide the records required to develop meticulous baseline values
  • Contingency Based/Pay-for-Performance Audit:
    • Pay-for-performance model
    • Fees are 100% based on recovery and future net savings
    • Recommended if:
      • Company wishes to have savings pay for project fees
      • Company wants to 'test drive' audit process without financial risk
      • Cash flow is a primary concern
  • Guaranteed Savings
    • Small retainer (based on project scope) and contingency savings
    • Clients pays retainer at beginning of a project with guarantee that savings will exceed retainer value; once retainer value is exceeded, recover and optimization model applies
    • Permits for a contingent style project in a scenario which otherwise would not qualify for a contingency project
