Network Cost Savings

Knowing what you have, where it is and how much it costs is the first step to making savings on the network. Only then can you implement savings knowing that you're not impacting users.

Often invoices are simply signed off if they look similar to the last one. This process can go on for years and this creates a key area for saving.

An audit can identify redundant services, provide a full list of inventory, ensure that all services are on the correct tariff and provide the foundation for other projects such as procurement or strategy.

WAN Benchmarking provides market rates for services, from simple analogue lines to international SD-WAN deployments. Knowing the market rates for services allows you to renegotiate with an incumbent supplier or create a business case etc.

Contract Renegotiation

Clients often find that they are happy with their incumbent supplier, they have built relationships over many years and are happy with the service provided. However, costs generally decrease year on year and so clients want better commercial terms or a tweak in service levels to meet the needs of the business today.

Our consultants are expert in telecoms contract negotiations, we know what the market rates are and we know what service levels can be achieved.

By using Soniza's contract renegotiation service you can benefit from:

The highest possible savings
No costly change to infrastructure
Achieve savings quickly
Maintain a good relationship with the incumbent supplier
Negotiate from a place of knowledge ensuring service levels can be met
