Optimization
Telecom optimization is a process not a project. We don’t simply fix cosmetic issues on your bill, we integrate with your team and understand your environment and strategy. This approach allows us to generate value not just in year one but cumulatively in ongoing years.
Guaranteed Savings
We find that clients on average over-spend by 30% in the communications expense category. Our processes are built to identify and present savings opportunities across four areas of optimization:
- Renegotiation
- Billing Errors
- Technology Changes
- Utilization Right-Sizing
We are so confident that we will can reduce your costs, we state our savings guarantee in absolute terms at the beginning of the engagement. this includes a financial penalty for us if we dont meet it!

“A big challenge we faced before zLinq took over was inheriting someone else’s network design & inventory. We tracked inventory on a spreadsheet but with M&A it became a challenge, easily spending 20 hours per week on this stuff. zLinq gave us this time back, acting as an extension of our team. Now, our IT team can focus on the core business.”
