Valicom: Redefining Telecom and Technology Expense Management

After each billing cycle, every organization is swamped with a heap of telecom and technology expenses and invoices, which need to be approved by top-level managers or approvers in a timely and accurate manner. Though most organizations try to centralize this process, distribution of billers that generate these invoices are spread across the country and sometimes across the world, leading to irregularities and delays in the approval process. “Most of our clients have had problems reviewing invoices in a timely manner. When they come to us, we empower them in such a way that all these invoices are at their fingertips, thereby allowing them to approve the expenses and pay bills with a click of a button,” explains Jeff Poirior, President and COO of Valicom.

With 27 years of experience and expertise in the telecom industry, Valicom tailors its expense management solutions to address unique requirements of the corporate world. It provides a variety of Telecom and Technology Expense Management (TEM) solutions with customized features such as invoice approvals and asset expense management. In addition to its TEM suite, the company offers a centralized database which allows its clients to match, merge, and utilize data stored across different servers and cloud platforms. This proves to be a great advantage for Valicom’s clients, who often lose track of data stored across various servers either in their in-house data centers or on the cloud, which can cause problems when they get rid of any of their servers. With a centralized database, organizations can conveniently access any information resulting in faster decision making.

Valicom’s TEM software— Clearview—serves as a single channel to manage multiple telecom expenses, be it mobile, wire-line, or data. Each expense module is supported by a full-featured suite of functionalities such as inventory management, invoice auditing, bill payments, cost allocation, and reporting. “We have created an invoice approval tool that goes through secured email links and reaches out to approvers across the world, in a timely fashion, and allows them to review and approve invoices at a glance,” adds Poirior.
