San José, CA August 21, 2008 -- Accucom announced today that it has changed its name to Telapprise™. The new trademarked name derives from the company's core business competency in telecommunications. In addition, the Telapprise name incorporates the driving force behind the company's stringent audit, which provides actionable intelligence reports that "apprise" companies of their current telecom services and expenses.
"The name change to Telapprise from Accucom builds on our already strong market position," says Marko Spremo, Vice President of Sales. "Our customers associate the Telapprise brand with the most cost-effective Telecom Expense Management (TEM) solutions available. For over six years, our brand has been synonymous with efficiency, accuracy and value. We will continue to develop solutions to better serve our customers and their increasing need to cut telecom expenses."
The Telapprise name change carries over to all of the current Telapprise solutions:
- Telapprise Baseline
- Telapprise OptiMax
- Telapprise OptiMax-Wireless
- Telaprise Professional Services
Telapprise's audit methodology ensures that all billed services are verified against contracts, service orders and inventory, that every service being billed for is verified against existing contracts and orders and that they are right-sized, optimized and being used properly.
In addition, Telapprise's ongoing proactive expense management solutions deliver telecom billing management, auditing, chargeback accounting, mobile device management, procurement, MACDS, change management and vendor contract management.
What Are the Benefits of TEM?
For most organizations, telecom expenses are out of control. Carriers today --- after decades of monopolies, deregulation of services, mergers and acquisitions --- are unable to provide companies with an accurate, readable telecom bill.
Telecom carriers cannot verify that their billing reflects the services a company has ordered. Nor can they reliably prove that the company is not being billed for disconnected services. And when it comes to contracts, it is not always in their best interest to give companies the lowest competitive rate possible.If an organization doesn't have time to analyze inventory and compare it to billing, they are probably overpaying for services.
But managing telecom services is a complex endeavor. It requires constant attention by qualified technical personnel who can perform systematic audits to identify cost exceptions and alert management. Telapprise TEM services, backed by a strong software platform, provide a fully integrated solution that automates telecommunication management to help organizations eliminate waste and optimize resources.
