“Enterprise IT, telecom and network decision-makers are facing the difficult questions of determining why, when and how to implement IP telephony technologies. Finding the right answers to these questions will help secure a strong ROI from new technologies that can only be attained by a complete understanding and full visibility into an organization’s current environment,” said David E. Olsson, president and CEO, AnchorPoint, Inc. “Our TEM solutions help IT, telecom and network decision-makers understand how IP telephony best fits into their organizational needs and goals, while at the same time identifying immediate and ongoing cost-cutting opportunities for their telecom spend.”

AnchorPoint’s TEM Technology

AnchorPoint’s TEM application suite is comprised of three highly integrated modules — Invoice Management, Asset Management, and Usage Management — each leveraging the centralized AnchorPoint Communications Intelligence Engine. Business intelligence information is then delivered to the user via AnchorPoint’s Business Analytics tools, featuring dashboards, benchmarking, ad-hoc reporting, and enhanced Web delivery, to help them better manage and plan their communications environments.
