Mandate
A Company’s Culture Based On Growth Through Acquisition
In recent years, they have acquired an average of five companies a year. As a result, they have faced challenges in integrating these businesses, as each has their own particularities and requirements. During a merger or acquisition, it’s vital to ensure that there is no duplication of effort and services while making sure that the company pays for what it needs and that the products and services meet the company’s requirements.
The Challenges of Telecom Expenses
Telecom spending is one of the most difficult IT expenses to manage, as it has evolved many times over, has become a commodity and is intangible, making it difficult to control.
As most growing companies see their budgets increase, growth in telecoms spending is often seen as normal.
Solution
Pomerol Consulting Group has accompanied the client through these acquisitions, offering value-added services ranging from identifying the services required to monitoring changes and holding the preferred vendors accountable. Drawing on their 20 years in the telecom industry, Pomerol worked closely with local and international providers to implement processes that enabled the client’s stakeholders to make strategic decisions.
