Telecommunications Expense Management Services (TEMS)
Saving the government money.
Agencies can save taxpayer dollars immediately when they manage their wireless services with TEMS. You do not need to change your service plans. TEMS helps you reduce costs by:
- Optimizing rate plans
- Identifying inventory and billing errors
- Actively monitoring spending
- Eliminating unused lines
- Improving management and security controls
Government customers have realized a cost savings of about 26 percent on their total wireless spending. One agency eliminated over 900 redundant accounts, saving $200 million annually.
