What strategies have you implemented to reduce telecom expenses in your previous role?

In my previous role, I implemented several strategies to reduce telecom expenses. One of the strategies I used was conducting a thorough audit of our telecom services and billing statements to identify any discrepancies or unnecessary charges. I negotiated with our telecom providers to obtain better rates and terms for our services. Additionally, I collaborated with different departments within the company to understand their telecom needs and made adjustments accordingly to eliminate any unnecessary expenses. I also implemented a telecom expense management software that helped us track and report our expenses more efficiently. These strategies resulted in significant cost savings for the company.
