Orlando, FL – June 27-- Auditel Inc. of FL announced today that it’s becoming more common for companies to outsource their phone and telecom bills to bill processing companies for bill payment and audit services. While it can be efficient and convenient you have just become once removed from what’s really happening with your telecom expenses.

They know that you will not be making any quick decisions which could effect your services, to take their BPO service back in-house so there is a confidence here which should be earned, not given. Having your Telecom BPO independently reviewed is to your advantage. Without an unbiased telecom professional verifying and auditing their services (and your expenses) you may be one of the casualties of BPO.

Barbara Clements, President and Founder of Auditel Inc. says "We've found that most companies put little thought into billing errors, they focus on contracts. This leaves so much room for billing errors, mistakes in line inventory, and the list goes on, and on with possible overcharges." If your company doesn't identify billing errors they will continue to pay them forever. Some contracts stipulate a term on refunds of 60 days. It's time to have a telecom expense management team working on your invoices to determine your strategy, eliminate waste, and obtain savings.
