As IT and Telecom purchases get more complex, do you suspect you might be spending more than you should? If so, you’re not alone. Overspending in these areas is a huge frustration for organizations today, and it results in millions of dollars being wasted every year. Money that could and SHOULD be put to better use – to green-light unfunded projects, or drop straight to the bottom line.
