FACTS
 The cost of telecommunications now ranks as one of the top five expenses
for most companies, up from No.10 a decade ago.
 Companies spend as much as 5% to 35% more than they need to because
they pay for services they don't use or they don't have the resources to find
the best available rate plans.
 Next to Healthcare, telecommunications is hardest service to bill for.
 Carriers are merging resulting in reducing the competitive pool causing a
rise in rates.
