Before any active carrier contract negotiation can take place, enterprises must establish a clear baseline assessment of the services, service categories, and volume of usage taking place within their organization.
Tangoe provides clients with services demand sets and target rates that enable them to assess how competitive their current agreements and future negotiations are against current market conditions and trends. In addition, Tangoe’s Benchmark reports compare current service costs to best-practice market rates experienced by Tangoe’s global negotiations consulting practice.
Whether preparing for negotiations of a contract near the end of its life or determining the potential results of a mid-term contract re-negotiation, Tangoe’s Benchmarking Services provide rapid, reliable results that quantify the potential rate outcomes and savings for your next contract negotiations—often with remarkably dramatic results.
The benefits of Benchmarking include:
- Gaining true visibility into enterprise expenditures
- Elimination of conjecture from negotiations
- Leveling the playing field between you and the carriers
- Achieving best rates on relevant product and service units
