Accurate
Facts. Clear Decisions.
Once we have
completed your Assessment we are then armed with the facts we need
to enable us to carry out the Benchmarking part of the process. This
involves reviewing your current services against the marketplace to
give you a true understanding of the options available, so that you
can make informed decisions. This process helps you to achieve the
best possible rates, terms and conditions from your supplier
agreements, as well as ensuring that the any new contracts meet your
needs first, not the network providers’.
HOW DO WE DO
IT?
STEP ONE
Based on the
findings of the Assessment, we break down your transactions to
identify detailed cost and usage patterns across your organisation.
We then cross-check these with our database, which contains details
of all the tariffs offered by the UK’s tier one and tier two
carriers. Once we have done this we approach your provider and other
suppliers, without telling them who we’re working for, to gather
up-to-date competitive pricing information.
STEP TWO
Once you have
reviewed the findings from Step One, you can then select the top
three suppliers for us to approach on your behalf. We prepare a
comprehensive ‘Request for Proposal’ which takes all your cost and
service criteria and weightings into account, and at this stage we
also let them know who you are, as this invariably results in even
keener pricing!
STEP THREE
What does it
cost?
We combine our
Assessment and Benchmarking services into one simple charging
structure as these are usually carried out together. This is based
upon a percentage of your current annual telecoms spend as an
initial fee, followed by a percentage of the savings we identify. If
you prefer these two areas to be costed separately we can discuss
this on an individual basis.
It’s easy to find
theoretical savings in almost any service, but at MH2 CONSULTING
LIMITED we
don’t deal in theories. Which is why we also we integrate contract
termination costs (sometimes known as Reconciliation Fees) into
every recommendation we make. In fact, we’re so confident of being
able to offer genuine benefits with our Telecoms Cost Management
program, that if the saving we identify is less than 10% of your
annual spend, then we refund the initial fee in full and you pay
nothing.
What happens
next?
Whatever changes
you decide to make based on the outcome of the Assessment and
Benchmarking exercise, we can implement these for you. Whether it
means staying with your existing provider or moving to a new one, we
can make the transition happen smoothly and seamlessly, without
tying up any of your own internal resources. And once the changes
are implemented, we normally expect to see tangible savings within
six weeks.
Our implementation services are charged on a standard consultancy day rate and so the overall cost will vary depending on the work required. Please contact us for more information on this.
