Now you’ve got help

Avotus ICM eProcurement (eP) is changing the way procurement and telecom contract negotiation works.

It’s built on a foundation of:

• Technology and automation not available anywhere else
• Proprietary knowledgebase of best-in-class rates, terms, and available service levels
• Top voice and data contract negotiators
• Deep communications expertise

How ICM eP works

The Avotus ICM eProcurement process starts by eliminating the hassles of the standard paper-based RFP.

Our automated, web-based platform enables you to identify your precise requirements and present them to as many potential vendors as you wish, simultaneously. You’re no longer limited by the challenges of paper or even spreadsheet-based solutions that have created artificial limits to the number of vendors you can reasonably evaluate.

With our communications-specific online reverse auction technology (patent pending) you create a level and competitive playing field for your suppliers. They attempt to win your business by lowering their rates as well as improving their terms, conditions and SLAs.

Why is it different from other procurement solutions?

The Avotus ICM eProcurement has been developed
and fine tuned specifically for the complexities of communications procurement. That means we can easily support sourcing for the most complex worldwide networks and technologies—something that general purpose procurement tools just can’t do.

Does it work?

In addition to providing a better, faster procurement process, the other benefits can be easily quantified.

For example, we saved one customer over $14 million. Savings of over 40% are often realized, depending on spend category. The elimination of minimal annual revenue commitments (MARCs) and other onerous terms are an added benefit. Read about some of our other customer successes.

Part of a TEM lifecycle solution

Analyst research has shown that new contracts only reach about 70% of their expected results. There is a typically a gap of as much as 30% between negotiated contracts and the value that companies actually receive.

That’s where the entire Avotus ICM Telecom Expense Management solution can help. We can manage the contract implementation process for you, verifying that what you expected to get is what you really got.

We’ll ensure that your contract delivers the pricing, SLAs and other terms you negotiated and that they are 100% implemented and verified. Find out more here..
