In the intricate world of telecommunications, managing systems is the backbone of ensuring seamless operations for businesses. However, the disconnect between the billing system and service inventory has long been a challenge for both telecom companies and their clients. At FG, we recognized this problem and embarked on a mission to revolutionize the way telecom management is approached.
The Challenge: Separation of Systems
Traditionally, the telecom industry has operated with two distinct systems: the billing system and the network environment. While the billing system generates invoices, the network environment encompasses all aspects of the network infrastructure. These two systems rarely converge, leading to a significant gap in understanding for both carriers and clients.
Typically, clients also engage a telecom supply chain consulting firm for RFP creation. These firms often lack the intricate telecom knowledge required to fully comprehend a client’s existing infrastructure. Instead, they rely on industry benchmarks and negotiation prowess to navigate contract discussions. In contrast, FG team of experts have extensive knowledge of not just the entire service inventory, but also the details of each client’s inventory. Armed with this comprehensive insight, FG strives to optimize designs based on the current network landscape, streamlining costs by precisely aligning them with the client’s requirements. FG is dedicated to reincorporating network necessities into the equation, ensuring that every component serves a purpose, ensuring maximized efficiency and eliminating unnecessary expenses.

TEMs vs. CarrierComplete
While Telecom Expense Management (TEM) systems emerged from billing industry roots, they predominantly focus on invoice-related issues. In contrast, CarrierComplete prioritizes service inventory – identifying circuit inventory, speed issues, and other critical components often overlooked by TEMs.
