We don't mean tracking down employees making personal long distance calls on company time.  We mean undertaking a detailed review of your calling patterns, usage profile, and the efficiency of your network.

An amazing number of businesses don't take advantage of the tremendous cost savings available to them.  They waste money in one of two ways:

• Overpaying for phone service from the carrier
• Running a badly designed phone network

You have options for phone service!

The days of the telephone monopoly are over.    Deregulation has led to the emergence of a wide range of low-cost, reliable carriers.  Many companies pay off-the-shelf rates without even realizing that they can choose a lower-cost service!

We'll look at all components of your past billings, including local service, long distance, toll-free, pagers, faxes, and wireless.    You'll be surprised at how much you can save once you've clearly defined your needs and opened your service to competitive bids.  Grapevine specializes in negotiating the best phone service contracts for its clients.

Design and implement a network that minimizes your costs

The other way to reduce your charges is to operate an efficient phone network.  Just as good insulation and temperature regulation systems control your heating and air conditioning costs, a well-designed voice network and equipment configuration will keep your phone charges down.

For example, if you have more than one facility, are you incurring phone company charges for calls between each one?  You could be dialing a four-digit extension instead.  Many companies waste a tremendous amount of money with badly configured systems.  The experts at Grapevine have designed and installed hundreds of systems for companies of all sizes, and will create a solution that works for you.
