You may not be aware that over 85% of mid-sized companies are not fully auditing their IT/telecom invoices. So, they get paid in full, month after month. While that may be easy, it comes with a potentially expensive problem: errors and hidden charges. And, many of them you may not even be aware you signed off on! By paying them all in full without vetting them, your business may be overpaying bills by thousands of dollars every month. Who wins? The vendors. Because, unfortunately, they are the last folks who are going to raise their hands and tell you, "Hey, you overpaid that last invoice."
