Management
Enterprises that need ongoing communications assistance can save both time and money by letting zLinq handle the administrative tasks. Little details no longer slip through the cracks so things run smoother and your team can focus on high priority projects.
The Problem with Communications Management
Today’s enterprises rarely staff for a communications specialist position and instead fill this role with combined resources of multiple departments: engineering, AP and procurement. Because of cross-departmental effort, it’s hard to get clarity on what services are where, how much they cost, when contracts expire, how to best negotiate services and what new technologies are relevant. As a result, companies usually over-spend by 30% in this significant IT category and waste 500 engineering hours per year for every 1,000 employees.

Administrative Telecom Tasks
Someone must manage the day-to-day communications responsibilities:
- Location and user moves
- Ordering new services
- Service changes
- Upgrades
- Billing issues
- Acquisitions
- Divestitures
These tasks require 30 minutes per employee per year, so a company with 4,000 knowledge workers needs a dedicated communications analyst, but IT departments rarely get a full time resource for these tasks. These tasks fall on the plate of your engineers or other highly paid technical resources.

Clarity is Important
Communications usually lack clarity in pricing, contracting, billing, processes and technology options. It also requires a very diverse set of skills and specialized tools to manage effectively.
