Call Accounting - Decide Your Objectives, Adopt Procedures And Gain Huge Returns On Investment

By:


Clients investing in a Call Accounting tool expect it to satisfy certain expectations including product quality, reasonable service delivery and a measurable result in line with the purchase price and the effort involved in purchasing, installation, commissioning and training.

The local Call Accounting reseller, has a fixed product offering and any deviation from this standard means a reduction in profits. For this reason it is very important for the user to thoroughly understand what to expect from the reseller and the product being offered.

Using a less unfamiliar product, lets imagine you have recently purchased a CD containing the very newest release of a Financial Accounting platform. If you paid the normal price you will likely have to load it yourself and teach yourself how to use the program without the benefit of on-premises tuition, or even a good set of instructions. And you knew that your supplier doesn't include in the retail price any training or qualification in bookkeeping skills, you anticipated all this and therefore you are not disappointed.

When you purchase a Call Accounting tool what do you expect? Just as importantly, what does the distributor expect to deliver? Will the supplier install the software package and interface it to the PBX or will he insist your PBX maintenance engineer performs this function?

Once installed,

* Has on-premises training been provided for in the purchase price, and how much tuition?

* Is phone support available and at what cost?

Taking once again the comparison of the financial accounting program, just purchasing a software package doesn't magically convert you into a fully qualified accountant, the same can be said of Call Accounting packages, they will not magically change you into a fully experienced telecoms manager.

However, purchasers, do not give up, there are basic principles that have been documented by those who have gone before you to make Call Accounting a very easy, pain free and productive practice. The return on investment can be massive if the buyer is mindful of these basic principles and puts them into practice. If you don't use these basic principles, or if you try to "re-invent the wheel", you should expect a degree of frustration.

As a purchaser of a Call Accounting package, create a short document of your expectations, what do you expect to achieve from your purchase? Share it with your preferred dealer and gain the support that will aid in achieving your objectives.

A Call Accounting program is only an information system, it provides the operator information about the telecommunications equipment and its usage, it does not take decisions and it doesn't on its own implement change.

Improvement happens if:

* precise data is at hand to help decision making (Reporting tool: Call Accounting tool)

* the relevance of the reports is understood (Management experience, or adoption of proven processes)

* action is taken to achieve the predetermined objectives. (Management and the determination to change)

A Web Based Call Accounting product provides the accurate information paired with a well documented set of recommended processes that have been refined in hundreds of environments. Set your goals and use the processes to harvest a massive return on your investment.
