Case-in-Point: Audit Reduces Telecom Expenses by 20% (over $119K)

The Challenge
AGS' client, "Company A", was faced with ever-increasing charges on its telecom invoices.  With few employees adopting mobile devices, and rigorous account management of its wireline services, Company A was perplexed in understanding how its telecom spend continued to grow.

- Contract negotiation with carriers to reduce rates
- Optimization of rate plans (Including SMS/text messaging plans)
- Obtaining historical credits for erroneous charges
