How you Benefit
The benefits of running IT / Telecommunications like a Business.By taking control and strategically managing telecommunications / IT assets and financials - versus accepting them as merely necessary costs - you can reap numerous benefits that positively impact the company's bottom line and competitiveness, and employee satisfaction and productivity.
UTR offers corporations a comprehensive, web-based repository and business process system to manage telecommunications assets and expenses - using real-time data.With our lifecycle management process,Financial Telemanagement System (FTS), you'll realize numerous benefits:
- One software system to link key functions and data.
To ensure you continually pay for what's in use today, Service Provisioning, Asset Management which needs to be linked with Bill Reconciliation and Processing. To answer the questions of senior management, Management Reporting needs to be based on the current situation; thus it needs to be linked with Call Accounting, Asset Inventory Management, Service Provisioning, Employee Directory,Bill Reconciliation and Processing. With FTS all these functions share and are managed by the same database and system - a significant differentiator. - Eliminate redundant efforts and errors.
With one asset repository database, you only need to enter data once - it is then proliferated throughout FTS for multiple uses. And since data is entered only one time, you eliminate the errors associated with duplicate data entry. In addition, the Billing Reconciliation function will ensure error-free payment of invoices. - Reduce costs.
With elimination of redundant functions, processes and multiple spreadsheets and databases you'll reduce man-hour costs of administration. An accurate inventory account will ensure optimization of existing assets thus eliminating over-ordering of items. With monthly bill verification, you will never be overcharged again and you'll avoid late fees. And you'll be able to optimize vendor contract negotiations for facilities and maintenance by having current and accurate data on the year-to-date spend and consumption. -
Streamline processes / Improve productivity.
With one centralized repository of information there is no longer a need to gather data from multiple management systems. All information is contained within FTS and easily accessible allowing more accurate budget planning, forecasting and year-to-date expense tracking for business unit managers. FTS automates and defines business processes such as bill reconciliation and invoice processing reducing the administrative workload of your staff thus freeing them to concentrate on the network, its assets and users. In addition, service order provisioning will be faster and more efficient with business process wizards and uniform delivery of requests. - Increase efficiencies.
With easy-to-access data, tracking service orders, verifying and paying invoices and many other tasks become quick and painless. Plus, future inventory audits are no longer needed. With FTS your organization becomes more compliant with the principles of Sarbanes-Oxley and other government regulations. In addition, data drill-down reports, timely delivery of service orders and accurate asset information increase employee and client satisfaction. Quality information allows people to solve business problems. -
