Teleprudence Telecom Management: Telecom De-Mystified!

CIO Vendor "It's raining pink slips in Telecom and it’s the enterprise that is facing collateral damage”– says Ritesh Seth, Founder, Teleprudence Telecom Management. The telecom & IT industries at present are considered to be amongst the top five expenses categories for any enterprises. According to Gartner reports, an organization can save anywhere between 15-35 percent in this spend, if managed properly. While there are several factors at play, the root cause of this can be attributed to the talent crunch both, from the buy and sell side. Foreseeing this unique opportunity in the telecom space and help organizations out, Mumbai based Teleprudence Telecom Management plunged into the telecom consulting arena.

“Given the technological advancements, the lines between telecom & IT have started to fade, making smartphones the new computer. Enterprises generally do not have the top view of their spend, especially in the multi-branch set-up and in case of mobile phones, most organizations bundle expenses as a part of employee CTC thereby denying themselves any benefit of falling tariffs. In respect to sell side, the eroding bottom lines leading to target pressures and increased dependencies on channel partners for sales and outsourced teams for service assurance is hardly good news. The whole idea of the existence of Telepreprudence came into effect because of the consequences taking place in the telecom industry,” speaks Ritesh.

After gathering these general vendor picks the action usage and the leakage is detected, thus solving the problem.” From the Telecom Audit & control perspective, the company leverages a crisp format in lines with the international best practices to quantify the performance and from the business transformation side, Teleprudence’s enterprise voice, data & mobility knowledge partner network promises to enhance employee productivity and process efficiencies. “Through Teleprudence we try to break down the silos in order to ensure decision making a collaborative process and are focused on 100 percent strike rate on consumer deliverables”, avers Ritesh.
