Telecommunications Asset Management Solutions

Telecommunications is an extremely challenging area for many large organisations, due to rapid technological changes and ever-expanding business needs.

The PwC Telecommunications Asset Management Solutions (TAMS) practice (which is independent of all Telecom service providers) assists organisations in understanding and managing their telecommunications expenditure. Our dedicated group of specialists offers assistance with cost reduction opportunities, process improvement and increased assurance.

After people and property, telecommunications is the third largest cost for most businesses. Our goal is to help identify and solve telecom issues at a core level, enabling our clients to maintain a significant level of savings, year after year. Our track record shows an average of 5 to 15% savings per annum when combining immediate savings and reductions in ongoing costs – an attractive proposition in the current economic climate.

How PwC can help you

Our deep telecommunications industry experience allows us to align our clients' business applications with technology solutions and cost assurance assignments, as well as maximising the value delivered on assignments. More than 80% of our people have either worked for major carriers or in the industry as billing consultants, technical analysts and network engineers.

To gain an understanding of an organisation's specific requirements, our initial approach involves diagnostic and risk assessment to highlight major issues and areas of focus. Our response is then tailored to meet specific client requirements, including opportunities for knowledge transfer so the organisation receives maximum benefit from our expertise. A key element of our service is regular communication with the client to provide feedback on progress, and to advise areas of potential savings.
