Cost Management

Many telecommunication companies are heavily reliant on purchasing a part of their infrastructure from other carriers and the associated costs more often than not are a substantial fraction of total operating cost. At the same time, these transactions tend to be complex and quite frequently it is difficult to establish if costs incurred are justified and necessary - they need to be controlled carefully.

Allolio&Konrad treats Cost Management as the flip side of Revenue Assurance. While some challenges may vary, to a large extent, both types of initiatives rely on the same data and both reactive revenue assurance and access cost management projects ultimately need to answer the question: "Should we disconnect this service or should we invoice a customer for it?"

With access costs being among the largest cost components for many carriers, Allolio&Konrad has developed an integrated approach to recover and control these costs. We establish or detail the relationship between services purchased and services sold, helping our customers to save millions by identifying unjustified charges and by allowing the termination of products and services that are no longer required.
