Think

Audits and
Evaluations
Proven to
Slash Telecommunications Costs
(Scottsdale,
Ariz.,) October 8, 2001 – Responding to the increasing complexity and rising costs of telecommunications
systems, Stonegate Consulting brings more than 30 years experience to help clients achieve maximum
efficiency and cost savings with their telecommunications resources. Services range from complete
evaluation of service requirements and telecommunications management services, to simple bill analysis, to
developing specifications and evaluations of current or proposed telecommunications systems.
Stonegate
Consulting provides its services to companies that typically do not have the resources to dedicate entire
departments to managing telecommunications infrastructure. They may not have the staff nor the time needed
to discover costly billing errors and analyze the efficiency of telecommunications systems and services,
which rank as one of the top five highest expenses for the typical company.
“We
were frustrated by inaccurate billing practices and inefficiencies in our computer network that were really
taking a hit on our bottom line,” said Mike Fontaine, Finova Director - Telecommunications “Stonegate
Consulting knew what to look for and knew how to navigate through the telecommunications companies to get
the problems fixed.”
Telephone
services for U.S. companies are currently estimated at $403 billion annually, according to the
Telecommunications Industry Association. For many of these companies, choosing from the diverse array of
complex telecommunications equipment and services, and then managing that infrastructure, can be time
consuming and expensive. Stonegate Consulting provides analysis to help companies determine bandwidth
requirements, compare service providers and recommend the most cost-effective local and long-distance
carriers.
“When
we moved offices, we had all kinds of telecommunications issues – everything from choosing new vendors to
physically moving the computer hardware,” said Nephi Julien, Executive VP of InTouch Virtual Office
Solutions. “With Stonegate Consulting, we had a smooth office relocation, and now we have carriers that
better match the needs of our business.”
According
to Pat Pittmon, Stonegate Consulting founder and CEO, “We have saved clients anywhere from five to 35
percent on their telecommunications costs simply by eliminating waste, decreasing billing errors and
ensuring companies contract only for the services they need.”
