History and Key Figures
Managing a telecom infrastructure (fixed and mobile, data, Internet connections,…), the budget of which often runs in excess of tens of thousands of Euro, implies more than just providing a tool to analyse massive and complicated telecom bills. Neoditel knows that the real solution for all large customers is to have not only the tools, but also an expert at hand who can produce pertinent and efficient cost cutting solutions, with long lasting effects.
Neoditel was founded with this in mind, and is reflected in
the name:
new(neo) audit(dit) telecom(tel).
After nurturing
the idea for some years, Pascal Lenchant and his colleagues founded the company
in 2001, and set up offices in Sophia Antipolis (Maritime Alps,France ).
Based on true know-how and solid skills, the consultancy extended their activities by including energy cost cutting measures, and this at the request of a customer who had been very impressed by the Neoditel telecom service. As a result, Neoditel specifically adapted its audit methodology and software tools to the electricity and gas sector.
From the very beginning, Neoditel has performed audit
services throughout France ,
and works mainly with multi-sited enterprises, who employ more than 500
employees. This can be in any economic sector, i.e. service providers, heavy
industry, public services…
By the end of
2003, the
subsidiary Neoditel bvba became responsible for the Benelux and the company EVV
joined the Neoditel Alliance Network at the end
of October 2005 to concentrate on telecom audits for the German market.
Neoditel has successfully completed cost cutting auditing missions for the telecom and energy market, in the following countries:
- France , including the French Antilles and Reunion Island
- Belgium
- United Kingdom
- Italy
- Germany
- Switzerland
- The Netherlands
- Spain
