There is a saying that knowledge is power. For some, knowledge could also be the key to reducing costs; at least that is the belief touted by AOTMP. Many organizations are making reducing expenses a top priority and the key to cutting back in the mission-critical area of telecom services could be basic knowledge.
AOTMP, positioned as the world’s foremost authority on telecom environment management, recently launched a new subscription-based research service that is dedicated to increasing efficiency in enterprise telecom and IT management, as well as reducing operating costs.
"Right now, every organization is looking for opportunities to make cut backs," said AOTMP President and CEO Tim Lybrook, in a Wednesday statement. "Telecom services are viewed as an absolute necessity; everyone relies on wireless and data connections to conduct business, so many find it particularly challenging to reduce expense in this area.”
“It's important for enterprises to be aware of industry norms, and understand how similar organizations are spending to identify savings opportunities. AOTMP Access provides a single point of reference for benchmarks, case studies and research reports focused on improving efficiency and reducing costs across all areas of an enterprise telecom environment," added Lybrook.
With its online, searchable repository, AOTMP Access delivers data and insight to the desktop of telecom and IT decision makers. This information can be used to compare an organization to competitors on key telecom and technology performance issues. It can also be used to support business cases and management decisions on staffing, resources, budget and other areas.
"Our analysts are researching the industry every day to understand trends and deliver the data points to support sound and quick decision making when it comes to enterprise telecom assets and services," said Tim Colwell, AOTMP's Vice President of Knowledge Operations, in the Wednesday statement.
"Subscribers can look to AOTMP Access when they need to reference something as specific as how the number of wireless help desk Full-Time-Equivalents (FTEs) compares to organizations with same number of wireless applications, or explore a broader topic like best practices for network performance management."
Telecom vendors often find themselves in the position of educators for their clients. While at times this can be beneficial for the vendor, it is not always beneficial for the client. This new research portal allows companies to gain the information they need in order to make informed choices to the ultimate benefit of the company.
