Avotus ICM eProcurement™

Are you looking for a faster, easier way to source communications?

Avotus ICM eProcurement is an automated solution for procuring communications. It is based on industry best practices and combines:

  • Unique online reverse auction technology
  • Automated tools to make the process easy for you and the bidders
  • Unparalleled knowledgebase of best-in-class rates, terms, and service levels
  • Proven sets of questions to get optimal responses from the bidders
  • Deep communications expertise to help you during the entire process

Take control of the supplier relationship

For the first time, YOU take control of the supplier relationship and let vendors compete for your business.

Instead of providing written or electronic RFP responses, suppliers participate in an online “reverse auction” powered by Avotus’ proprietary technology. A cycle that can take months can now be shrunk to weeks—with better results!

Avoid the hassle

The online reverse auction process also dramatically reduces the “hassle factor” and helps to improve your “time to value.”

Using our web-based tool we’ll work with you to quickly build out a complete electronic RFP in a fraction of the time of any other system. Potential suppliers that you have chosen are then electronically invited to join your incumbent providers in presenting their responses.

The online process eliminates the cumbersome, time consuming traditional paper RFP review cycle.

Know your savings before you begin

We can even provide a prediction of the actual savings outcome of a simulated RFP based on market data and qualitative ranking of service requirements. Predicted savings are highly accurate – and often improve even more during the final contract negotiation process.

WIN/WIN for everyone

During the ICM eProcurement WebAuction™ vendors benefit by being able to see throughout the process where they rank relative to other bidders. They then can respond dynamically with more favorable proposals.

Better visibility for them encourages better offers to you.

Rates go down... service levels go up

While rates are being driven down, vendors are also competing to offer better terms, conditions and service levels.

The result is a better decision-set of offers from which to choose.

What's in your network?

Unlike general-purpose online buying systems, Avotus eProcurement has been specifically optimized for negotiating the complexities of all types of voice and data communications services including:

  • Mobile and wireless
  • Conferencing – audio, video, web
  • IP transport
  • MPLS
  • Content delivery
  • Web hosting
  • International services

Expertise is part of the package

Our staff supports you with a communications procurement and negotiation skill set that is built on years of sourcing experience, hundreds and hundreds of contract negotiations and nearly a thousand successful engagements.

You can be sure you’re working with not just the best technology, but also the best people in the business.

Make sure you get what you think you did

Avotus doesn’t stop adding value when the contract is signed.

Analysts indicate that as little as 70% of the true value of savings obtained through traditional contract processes is actually realized.

We provide contract implementation and verification services built on our industry leading Telecom Expense Management solutions that ensures you get the full value of every contract you sign.
