Feb 01, 2007 - Framingham, MA - AnchorPoint, a leader in integrated Telecom Expense Management (TEM) solutions, today announced the release of a new White Paper entitled “Map-to-Win^SM: A Strategic Approach to Telecom Expense Management.” The paper explains Map-to-Win^SM, AnchorPoint’s strategic consulting approach that enables organizations to effectively align their business goals with people, process and technology investments to assure the success of their expense management initiatives.

Based on AnchorPoint’s proven process that has enabled customers to rapidly implement and adopt TEM technology and achieve groundbreaking results, the White Paper explains how a strategic approach to TEM begins with understanding a customer’s specific business needs, and delivers results throughout the development and implementation of an integrated people, process and technology solution that is aligned to those needs.
