How to reduce telecom, electricity, gas, heating and water bills?

Restrict your supplies:

Reduce the amount of telephones in the offices.

No mobile phones for the sales staff.

Turn down heating and lights.

Anti cost but also anti commercial. It will kill your company’s responsiveness, and anger customers, partners and suppliers.

As for restricting energy use: how will your business survive?

Restrict your teams:

Control all calls.

Put a ceiling on all commercial mobile phone usage.

Control all individual Internet connections through the IP addresses …

This amounts to policing! An extremely intrusive measure, seen as aggressive by the workforce and certain to ruin any working atmosphere.

Contact your supplier:

This puts him in the dual position of “judge and be judged”, unable to remain impartial or objective.

Change your supplier:

Fine, but which one?  Is this really the solution to your needs? Without a decent analysis, a very risky undertaking.

Or… audit and optimise the existing system:

This seems to be the most promising and pragmatic solution.

But…

• Has anyone got time to do this?
• Who has the competencies? Financial? Technical? Both?
• Where to start?
• Which tools to use? Should I ask a new IT development?
• How to keep the project on track?

Just as a company relies on fiscal, social and legal experts, it also needs an expert in the Financial Management of Telecom and Energy costs.
