Telecoms

Selecting new or upgrading existing products and services in the telecoms sector presents you with two challenges: evaluating both the products and the suppliers, all in the context of the speed of development in the technology.

Cloud systems, Skype for Business, new competing networks challenging the traditional suppliers; all can present you with a confusing and time-consuming exercise.

Our task is to put you in full control – audit, evaluate, and implement with specialist knowledge, substantial experience and an engaging and supportive manner. Our aim is not just to supply appreciable savings but also to ensure your business benefits in a lasting way from our expertise.

Categories we cover (but are not limited to):
Land Lines, Mobiles, WAN, Call Centres

To us it's all about generating TrueValue.

WAN / Call centre
A national fast food chain
The Opportunity
Our client, a large high street fast food chain, was coming to the end of a three year agreement on their large telecoms contract. This gave PEPCO the opportunity to review the spend and needs of the business and conduct a market review to determine the best pricing and contract terms.
TrueValue Strategy
PEPCO identified significant savings opportunity so we approached the incumbent to address commercials before contract end, extending the contract to deliver savings early and ensure ongoing consistency in supply.
Savings
Savings results were 36% under a new arrangement with the incumbent supplier providing a significant saving without incurring any implementation costs and delivering the same products and levels of service.

Beyond the savings there is now, thanks to the thoroughness of the review, a greater clarity and understanding around contract terms. What's more, the delivery of already excellent service levels has been restated and assured.
A nationwide business service provider
The Opportunity
Our client, a leading business services provider with multiple locations across the UK, was seeking cost reduction and efficiencies on the procurement of telecoms services. It had two incumbent suppliers and there was an opportunity to consolidate and review requirements. The business had grown significantly resulting in much higher usage and increased costs.
TrueValue Strategy
PEPCO's telecoms category specialists conducted a review for our client using expert industry insight to identify savings opportunities including taking advantage of falling call charges. We conducted a thorough tender process with eight vendors covering all the major networks working closely with the client's management team.

Beyond the savings, a manageable contract is now in place with significant benefits.
Leading financial services call centre
The Opportunity
A leading financial services company was in the process of sourcing a new call centre phone system and was progressing discussions with a single supply option. PEPCO were commissioned to review the requirement, assess competition and deliver a fit for purpose solution at a highly competitive price. Focus on product selection at an early stage reduced overall supplier competitiveness and ability to negotiate all margins throughout the supply-chain. There was a significant CAPEX cost and 8 weeks to make a decision.
TrueValue Strategy
PEPCO worked with the IT team to document core requirements for hardware, software and services before engaging the market. Multiple vendors were engaged to provide propositions which met requirements with no stipulation on manufacturers or brands. Following a down selection, suppliers were invited to demonstrate their products and discuss proposals with the IT team before final negotiations. Opening up supply options increased leverage and supported significant overall cost reduction.
Savings
Within 8 weeks, a 15% saving was achieved through a new provider and an alternative product brand which was introduced as part of the process.

Beyond savings, a new system was introduced across the group which best matched ongoing business requirements and supported an increase in service level performance. As part of the process, systems were also integrated with CRM systems facilitating a seamless end to end customer engagement process.
