Helping IT Departments to Slash Costs
IT departments often struggle with unjustified telecom costs from unauthorized purchases and inefficient resource utilization within the organization. This includes overlooked expenses from requests for telecom services or upgrades without considering associated costs, leading to a strain on IT budgets. Proteus provides a comprehensive solution by offering visibility into usage patterns and expenses, allowing IT departments to pinpoint unauthorized purchases and optimize resources effectively. With advanced analytics, Proteus detects anomalies, streamlines telecom management, and ensures justified costs, empowering IT departments to regain control over expenses and enhance operational efficiency.
Identifying unused devices, DDIs, and trunks
Proteus scans the company’s telecommunication infrastructure, scrutinizing usage patterns and comparing them against an exhaustive inventory of devices and lines. Through this process, dormant or redundant assets can be swiftly identified, allowing IT departments to reallocate or retire them, thereby reducing unnecessary expenses associated with maintenance and support. Furthermore, by optimizing DDI lines and trunks based on actual usage data, telecom data analysis software enables IT departments to streamline resources, ensuring that the company only pays for what is necessary. Ultimately, by providing actionable insights into resource utilization, Proteus empowers IT departments to make informed decisions that drive significant cost savings.
Simulating tariff changes
Proteus enables IT departments to simulate tariff changes and assess their potential impact on cost savings. Our software allows IT professionals to explore various scenarios, such as adjusting tariffs, renegotiating contracts, or switching service providers. IT departments can simulate the financial implications of these changes in real-time by inputting relevant data such as usage patterns, contract terms, and pricing structures. This capability empowers IT teams to make informed decisions about optimizing telecom expenses, identifying opportunities for savings, and negotiating more favorable terms with vendors. By proactively evaluating different tariff scenarios, IT departments can strategically align telecom costs with budgetary constraints and organizational priorities, ultimately driving significant cost savings and operational efficiency.
Reallocation of charges to appropriate departments
Proteus is a vital tool for facilitating the reallocation of charges to appropriate departments and applying uplifts, ultimately freeing up IT budget resources. By accurately tracking telecom usage down to the departmental level, this software enables IT departments to attribute costs more precisely, ensuring that expenses are allocated to the departments responsible for their utilization. Additionally, the software can apply uplifts or adjustments based on usage patterns, industry benchmarks, or contractual agreements, ensuring that costs reflect fair market value. Through this meticulous process of charge reallocation and uplift application, IT departments can identify opportunities to optimize spending, eliminate discrepancies, and recapture funds that were previously allocated inefficiently. As a result, IT budgets are freed up, enabling organizations to invest resources strategically in initiatives that drive innovation and growth.
High-cost destinations, out-of-hours calls, routings
Proteus plays a crucial role in identifying and managing high-cost destinations that are frequently called. Analyzing call data records can pinpoint disproportionately high-cost destinations, allowing IT departments to tailor tariffs or negotiate better rates with carriers to mitigate expenses. Proteus can highlight out-of-hours calls, flagging potential misuse of company equipment and resources, enabling IT departments to enforce policies and educate employees on appropriate usage, ultimately reducing unnecessary costs. IT departments can also use Proteus to validate routing patterns to ensure optimal private wire usage, maximizing efficiency and minimizing expenses associated with telecommunications infrastructure.
