 A First Step in Cost Reduction
The goal of a Telecom Expense Audit is to validate your telecom costs against what contracts and services you signed up for. But instead of just looking at line items on a bill for validity and accuracy, a Telecom Expense Audit also takes a holistic look at overbilling, duplicate charges and errors. with all your telecom services and locations.
Our audit process starts with a thorough inventory of your telecom services.  This includes hardware, support costs, software licensing and contracted services. We then examine your Telecom services to identify where there are better alternatives. A contract review is also a likely place to reduce costs through cancelling unused services or renegotiation.
Regardless of whether you have one location or one hundred, TeleData Select can be your single or multi location telecom expert assisting your business in lowering overall telecom costs.
Key Features of a Telecom Audit
- Verify billed rates against your contract
- Assist in setting up an accurate telecom inventory
- Document billing errors & contract noncompliance

- Review mobility spend for consistent cost across all users
- File claims & manage the credit recovery process

Case Study: Adapting Technology to the New Remote Working World
After his company implemented their Covid-19 remote work business model, the owner walked through the now empty office space and noticed all the desk phones sitting unused. He realized that this was the perfect opportunity to streamline and reduce their IT and Telecom costs.
Teledata Select was chosen to help with this effort.
We started with a thorough analysis of their hardware and software inventory with a goal of reducing expenses and getting rid of out-dated and unused equipment.
The company already had Microsoft Teams implemented for screen share and internal communication, so building off the Teams platform for all communication needs made sense. After reviewing Microsoft voice solutions versus a direct routing partner with unlimited calling, the choice was simple. The customer chose a native direct routing solution from a Microsoft Partner that provides seamless turnkey solutions within Teams and trained all the end users.
This allowed the company to drop its outdated and unused telecom equipment, removing unneeded software, streamlining their tech stack and taking better advantage of Microsoft Teams’ full functionality.
When was the last time your telecom bills were reviewed?

What People Are Saying
John Hagan, the owner of TeleData Select did a great job supervising our low voltage cable install; the job was done quickly efficiently and for a fair price. I am more than happy to recommend to my clients who need telecom services, TeleData Select.
Our staffing firm Express Professionals located in Atlanta, GA provides temp, temp to hire and permanent placement for employees throughout the Atlanta Area. We are dependent on the phone and need quality service for voice and data services. So after spending months dealing with ATT trying to fix the quality of our voice lines, I reached out to TeleData Select to help fix a major issue we had with our voice lines. After we tried for months to get someone to help us with lots of finger-pointing, we turned to John Hagan and his team and TeleData Select. The time spent and the thorough analysis of our problem by TeleData Select was really a game changer for us. I would recommend Teledata Select to anyone needing a consultative analysis due to phone issues or to any company just looking to save money with their telecom and data services expenses.
We are delighted with our new phone system. Working with (Teledata Select) our new phone system has been configured with exactly the functionality we were hoping for. John and his team at TeleData Select have been fantastic to work with. I especially love the fact that it is now seamless between our two locations in Norcross, GA and Marietta, GA which was a key goal. John thanks for all your help!
We worked with TeleData Select to help choose a phone system. The phone system has worked out beautifully for our firm, it is scalable as we grow. We plan on growing to 15-20 attorneys in the near future. We are very happy with the phone system and very happy with TeleData Select.
