Are you paying too much for your WAN, Telecoms Equipment, Mobile, Telephone Lines or Calls? How does your Service Level Agreement, reliability and contract compare with the market? As a specialist independent consultancy, BBW can help you answer these questions.

Many clients simply want to know how their costs and service levels compare to the market, without running a full procurement process. BBW’s benchmarking service provides exactly this analysis. As an organisation which is continually procuring network services for many different types of organisation, we can quickly and accurately compare your contract to the market.

To complete a benchmarking project we would undertake the following steps:

• Audit your current costs and service levels.

• Review the connectivity and other business requirements.

• Compare costs and service levels using our analysis tools.

• Provide a detailed written report with our findings.

With your written benchmarking report, from BBW as an independent consultancy, you can use the information to demand lower costs and/or higher service levels from your current supplier. Alternatively, you may decide that your current supplier is acceptable or seek a replacement supplier.

BBW have many years experience advising clients on their communications strategies, benchmarking costs and service levels and, if required, managing a full procurement process. For public sector clients we can also manage OJEU procurement processes.

At BBW, we believe we can assist in the following ways:

Technology Knowledge – We have many years, highly technical knowledge of telecoms technologies. This ranges from simply specifying a particular technology to investigating a specific problem.

Market Knowledge – BBW can advise on the various companies in the market, their strengths and weaknesses and if their solutions are as good as their marketing.

Benchmarking – As BBW are continually running telecoms procurements we can quickly advise if your costs are reasonable, the typical market rates for your requirement.
