CHALLENGE:
Save money by eliminating unnecessary charges and services on landline and data circuits.
SOLUTION
Hospital telecom information was gathered and prioritized by sites having the most difficulties with their services. This was done by performing a telecom audit, conducting site surveys, and reviewing traffic studies.
RESULTS
Bluewave was able to save the client money by eliminating unnecessary features, disconnecting unused services, correcting invalid rates, fixing billing errors, removing home user sites for eliminated employees, and removing invoicing for closed locations.
This resulted in a savings of $155,667 the first year, $333,651 the second year, and $85,037 the third year. This represents a 10% annual savings.
