Turn VeraSMART into a Telecom Cost-Saver in Four Easy Steps
Posted on August 9th, 2010 by Kenneth Murrell |
The easiest investments to justify are those that deliver a clear, straight and swift route to cost savings or a return. Some projects can take months (or longer) to generate value, making it difficult for company executives to accept the risk that that entails. VeraSMART Call Accounting, which integrates tightly with your Cisco voice infrastructure, delivers a compelling approach to managing costs and accelerating benefit to your organization. In fact, you can get from start to cost savings in four easy steps:
1. Collect data: use VeraSMART to collect call detail records off your Cisco voice system. Once you have all the data in one place, you’ve gained a platform for analysis and decision-making.
2. Do the math: use VeraSMART to calculate usage costs, and allocate them to individuals or cost centers. This will provide insights into where expenses – necessary and not – can be found and controlled.
3. Use the math: analyze call traffic and trunk usage, measure employee productivity, track client and project billing, manage inventory and monitor abuse. And, you can create a variety of reports to communicate your findings and help determine a course of action.
4. Plan and execute: turn your analysis into an action plan, line up your resources and pull the trigger. This is where you’ll see your telecom TCO drop and recapture more of your budget.
