Innovation from Configure Inc. Tracks Usage, Exposes Billing Errors and Helps Users Dramatically Cut Overspending Across Landlines, VoIP, Cellular and Data

SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Configure Inc., a leader in telecom consulting, today announced the debut of TESA(TM) (Telecom Expense Solution Advantage), a breakthrough in advanced cost management for medium-to-large enterprises. In minutes, financial or IT professionals can combine their data sources to see how their organization uses telecom services and where it can economize. Furnished under a Software as a Service (SaaS) model, TESA has the power to quickly analyze multi-vendor or multi-service telecom environments, exposing inefficiencies and helping companies keep their telecom costs under control--perhaps for the first time ever.

TESA unifies the entire telecom landscape: landlines, VoIP, cellular and data. It is especially adept at clarifying complex installs resulting from multiple business locations; e.g., retail or hotel chains, franchise systems or branch office networks. The service's customizable dashboard also supports insightful data mining activities as well as the creation of tailored analytical reports.

"Whether a customer has one telecom vendor or twenty, 150 employees or 10,000, ten stores using landlines and VoIP only, or fifty branch offices employing a full range of voice and data services, TESA brings order to the chaos and represents a tremendous return on investment," said Rudain Arafeh, CEO of Configure Inc. "In developing TESA, our company drew on every bit of its ten-plus years of telecom expense management experience. The result is a unique platform that lets users optimize telecom spend on a continual basis, thus reducing or even eliminating one of the most common sources of inefficiency in the modern enterprise."

TESA's clear, understandable dashboard functions make it easy to track invoices and monitor telecom usage by location, category or carrier. Users can drill down into data on an ad hoc basis to compare spending patterns, bringing transparency and giving enterprises the hard data needed to track and resolve disputes.

TESA's monitoring and reporting capabilities make it possible to instantly see which invoices need to be paid and which vendors supply a given service, as well as breakdowns of charges by category and location. The interface allows cost managers to flag situations and scenarios, as well as analyze long-term trends and usage for better cost containment.

"TESA is ideal for insurance companies, law firms, merchants, professional services companies and other businesses with distributed and/or multi-vendor deployments. It also greatly simplifies telecom management for small or overtaxed IT departments," noted Arafeh. "When compared to the time and cost necessary to manually enter usage and billing data from perhaps dozens of carrier sources, it's easy to see how TESA can produce significant savings."

Configure Inc.'s Telecom Expense Solution Advantage service is now available on a monthly subscription basis. For more about TESA email info@configureinc.com, or to see an online demo of TESA, visit the Configure Inc. Web site at www.configureinc.com.
