TEM Procurement Management

The Telecom Expense Management Lifecycle begins with the procurement of new telecom assets and services. Its important that any new asset or service is properly ordered from the vendor against the correct account and contract, along with the negotiated rates. It is equally important that all the asset characteristics are also captured and managed at the time of the order for proper telecom asset lifecycle management.

Our procurement management solution supports flexible asset and service catalogues to ensure your orders for corporate assets and services reflect corporate policy and are ordered from valid corporate contracts.
