INTRODUCTION

Based in Dallas TX, Communications Cost Containment, Inc. (C3) is a national Telecom Expense Management (TEM) firm. Since its inception in 2007, C3 has recovered and saved millions of dollars for our customer base by providing independent, contingency-based telecom expense management for enterprise businesses whose monthly telecom billing expenses exceed $20,000.

MARKET CONDITIONS

Statistics show that 95% of enterprises are wasting money for their telecommunications without even being aware of it. Most IT professionals are focused on keeping networks and other business systems up and running. Tracking and auditing telecom contracts and billing is a tedious and time-consuming task—one that most IT departments usually do not have the time or expertise to manage, costing companies hundreds of thousands of dollars a year—or even more in some cases.

Much of the current carrier mismanagement and ensuing billing issues are a result of large acquisitions of other carriers, the interconnection of the various AT&T Bell Operating Systems (SBC, BellSouth, Pac Bell, etc.). The constant movement of quality account representatives and sales management personnel leaves the majority of our clients with the responsibility of identifying their own billing issues, negotiating their own contracts without benchmark help, and cleaning up their own abundant billing errors.

STRATEGY

Vision statement

C3’s vision is to protect business from paying the price for the neglectful mismanagement and erroneous billing rampant within the telecom service industry, help them secure the most cost-effective prices for their telecom services, and empower them to protect themselves from being overcharged without straining company resources.

COMPETITIVE EDGE

C3’s combined carrier-level and consulting experience gives us a competitive advantage above our competitors. Unlike traditional TEM firms, C3 has insider perspective and understands the mindsets of the top-tier telecom giants, concentrating primarily on conducting detailed audits with laser-sharp focus, down to the smallest detail. Our team is comprised of former telecom-carrier employees with decades of experience in their respective fields, many of whom helped shape and develop the billing practices of today's telecom giants. Our vast collective experience gives us the unique expertise of knowing how telecom services are structured, and where to find billing errors, hidden charges and added fees. This affords us the ability to successfully deploy tactics with providers in order to correct errors and secure refunds, and strategically negotiate maximum savings and discounts when rewriting the fine print in contracts—ensuring that businesses pay only for the services the company needs at the most cost-effective rates.

C3 has performed worked hundreds of audits and contract negotiations, which also contributes to our expertise in making skillful recommendations on carrier mistakes, optimizing services and lowering costs on all fixed and wireless services to our clients. We have long-standing, personal relationships with many of the key AT&T, Verizon, and CenturyLink executives, which affords us access to pricing from all carriers through indirect channels and our network of consultant partners and colleagues.

Service pledge

C3 is a wholly independent company with no telecom provider affiliations, and therefore have only your company’s best interests in mind. We do not add any services without advanced approval or attempt to compel businesses to switch providers or carriers. In fact, we prefer not to “switch” anything. Our goal is to ensure that the money you pay to your telecom providers is only for services that your company needs, while also recovering any refunds that providers may owe you. If we do not save money and recover costs for our clients, they pay nothing.

Business model

We are so confident in our ability to find significant cost savings for our clients that we operate strictly on a contingency basis. We bill clients only as a percentage of dollars recovered on your behalf. If we do not produce a refund or savings for you, you owe nothing.

How can we afford to work this way? Simple—we always save our clients money. We have never failed to produce a refund or cost savings for a client. Even if you have had your telecom services audited unsuccessfully in the past, we are highly likely to identify additional savings opportunities.
