The idea of spring cleaning has long become a cliché, but it's for a good reason.

As you probably know, the term "TEM" has for decades been the acronym for Telecommunications Expense Management. That's because back when the term was first coined, our world consisted primarily of voice telecommunications services and equipment. So, you might say, it's long overdue for an update. Of course, there's nothing outdated about the value...

Back when Excel introduced spreadsheets it was considered a revolutionary break through in the way information, particularly numbers, could be organized.

And this is in spite of the fact that there are plenty of tools and programs available to help IT departments gain better ...
Getting budget approval for a new year is always challenging. Often the C-level managers look at IT/Telecom as just a necessary expense and leave it at that. It can be hard to get inside their heads and change their thinking. The result is a budget that maintains the status quo, but which fails to give you the flexibility to grow and to adopt new t...
