cell bills going up?
A colleague recently shared a story about a corporate audit where she saved the company over 8K dollars a month. The culprit was text charges...employees think that's the way to communicate but it not acceptable when a company is paying the bill. Voicemail may go by the way side but email and voice calls are still the way to do business...sorry twenty somethings. Texting is expensive and I resent customers costing me money because their lives are organized enough to understand it is not appreciated.

SIP and technology made easy
Following a SIP presentation I was impressed with the vendor and the knowledge of making the product work. There was two small issues not covered in the presentations.
1) Power outages and yes they do happen. Last night a technician in a CO in Venice Florida took a circuit down for about an hour. I was cut off a call and when I called the party back could hear ringing with no answer.
2) What about SIP trucks and security? Hackers are pounding away at fire walls constantly and consistently waiting for the right vulnerable moment, that is a guarantee.
So answer all the questions even the ones not asked!

cell phones
A business associate is focusing on cell phone audits. After doing so for one clients she saved the organization 1/2 the cost they were being billed...when companies provide cell phones for employees do not expect employees to text. No texting and no International roaming either. As one associate said it is about the client and saving them money in this economy...we can help do that. Our network of people have thousands of years of experience doing just that...saving clients money
through reducing expenses.
We are the best!

Auditing
During the days of layoffs and low profit margins has companies evaluate the number of access lines they have...the providers would probably say something like, "you're under contract, you can't change that now. My question is do you know when your contract expires? Providers do not tell you when your contract expires nor do they call you and say, "would you like to re-sign"? No, they automatically put you into another contract or a month to month situation.
It isn't in their best interest to communicate with their clients. Especially since we have learned to use computers so we do not have to talk to people...how absurd we are in the field of technology. We're putting computers in everything and "dumbing down" society. As one writer put it we're educated to the point of imbecility.

CEO Speaks, Sage Advice During Turbulent Times
Nine months into this project and already I feel a sense of relief knowing I can concentrate for marketing my consulting skills and the book. Within a month it will be finished...an exciting project, a wonderful experience, meeting wonderful people through networking with people that knew my integrity and level of faith plus confidence helped too...I can do anything I choose to do with class and completeness.
Engaging, trusting the CEO's came forward, only one questioned me and I did not know him so that is OK and his prerogative, it was his interview, his time, his credibility and his name. As one CEO said his grandfather told him, "Son, all you have in life is your name". Good advice...do you think Wall Street forgot? Because no one with millions in bonuses and a sense of entitlement in the millions of bonuses has a good name, we are on to you now and the taxpayers money is at stake. No more bonuses for bad behavior, no more rewarding and taking from the American people, no more Congressional screw ups, no more political games...vote everyone out of Congress, House and Senate. American's let us clean house, literally in November every time we vote, let's take back our country from dirty money, in and out of Wall Street and Washington no more lobbyists money...and while I say that can we give Obama some support for attempting to help instead of bad mouthing and coming up with fabrications on his religion plus other garbage. Bush II almost destroyed our country with all his cabinet and I voted for him, shame on me.
We have supported many Presidents without a good reputation and causing shame on a country, to a country, to their family, to the world. Change is needed and it is still an election process that allows the sequence to perpetuate upon it's self. If this nonsense does not stop soon it may be too late, if not already. Supporting self interest while in Congress is not what was to be done by our founding fathers. Serve in Congress means served for life for those there. Not right, not moral, not ethical, not anything but self serving...end of story

Re-read article on phone company charges
Which I have seen on dozens of bills...it is an ongoing problem for businesses and yet one account the two people made 19.2 million. A bit of cash wouldn't one say.
Again, as reported in the Washington Post the some of the companies turn their heads to the charges. Interesting way to care about one's client, those paying...small business and big business alike.
