Telecom and Connectivity Optimization

A curated collection to reduce telecom spend (circuits, internet, mobile, voice/UCaaS, managed network) using a simple operating system: inventory → ownership → billing QA → disconnect discipline → renewal leverage.

This collection is cost-first:

• eliminate orphan services
• prevent rate drift and surprise charges
• recover credits and stop recurring leakage
• strengthen renewals and RFP leverage

---

Who this is for

• Finance/Procurement teams responsible for telecom spend
• IT/Operations leaders who “inherit” telecom complexity
• Anyone who wants to stop paying for lines/circuits nobody can explain

---

How to use this collection

Follow in order:

1. build your telecom inventory and assign ownership
2. size the opportunity quickly (so you don’t waste time)
3. run a leakage recovery sprint (disputes + credits)
4. when renewal timing is right, run an RFP with a forced pricing format

Recommended foundation (optional but helpful)

These exist and make telecom control easier:

• Contract Repository & Clause Extraction Copy Pack (contract-repository-clause-extraction)
• Renewal Control Copy Pack (renewal-control)
• Invoice Integrity Copy Pack (invoice-integrity)
• Disputes + Credit Recovery System (disputes-credit-recovery-system)
