EVEREST is a leading provider of telecommunication solutions from over 120 providers worldwide. The EVEREST Carrier Services Examination has helped businesses drastically reduce their telecommunication expenses while increasing the performance and quality of their services.

EVEREST offers unbiased and independent telecommunications and network consulting services to help our clients throughout the entire process from the initial consultation to effective implementation and ongoing support.

OUR 10 STEP PROCESS INCLUDES:

1. AUDIT: It all starts here. EVEREST simply needs your locations list and receive a recent month of billing for your carrier and related services. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive analysis of your current providers, technology and services deployed, current monthly baseline costs, surcharges and taxes. We can provide our audit and analysis for as many of your telecom related services as you feel relevant - and are happy to review NETWORK SERVICES, LD, VOICE, SECURITY, DCIM, HARDWARE LEASE, SAAS LICENSING and more. Our report defines the true TCO by Service Category (ies) and Location and provides the baseline for strategy moving forward.

2. REQUIREMENTS: Bandwidth is not just bandwidth. In today's network environment, Security and Applications drive carrier network services optimization and necessity. EVEREST first seeks to understand your specific security and application requirements then provide relevant options based on current industry trends and best practices. Our experienced team of WAN experts cuts through the noise of 'sales', and 'products', and provides you with groomed options from Carriers that are best suited to meet your requirements.

3. SOLUTION DISCOVERY: EVEREST uses its experience and relationships in the market to submit Solutions Requests to suppliers that will meet your needs. We are creative - and we are responsible. Our Solution Architects work with the Carrier Suppliers to ensure that sales rhetoric is avoided and definitive solutions are offered that are scalable and cost effective.

4. OPTIONAL RFP MANAGEMENT: For businesses that need formal and covered RFP Management, the EVEREST team provides strictly governed RFP services that exceed compliance and ensure impartiality and parity. Our PMO team is experienced in providing RFP support to include RFP & Process creation, RFP timeline management, Q&A, Response Management, Comparative Analysis, Down-Selection Support, and Award Management. RFP's are strictly administered so all participants are exposed to uniform information, policy and procedure to ensure parity and compliance.

5. RATE ABATEMENT: EVEREST uses the initial submitted rates as a breach, and then effectively negotiates each suppliers price to its best and final offer (BAFO). Our industry expertise allows us insight to actual available rate minimums - those rarely offered to customers directly - and works furiously to provide exceptional rates to our customers.

6. AGREEMENT ALIGNMENT: Once a selection has been made, EVEREST continues to support, and can participate in ensuring that Contracts contain language that allows customers the maximum flexibility within an Agreement term. Our team ensures specific language is included - those terms that by default most carries avoid, but will apply when confronted. These terms allow our customers needed "white space" and flexibility as the technology world around them changes at an ever rapid pace.

7. IMPLEMENTATION: Let EVEREST manage the implementation. Our PMO supports the ordering of the circuits, managing FOC dates, installation of the circuits, and full testing and turn up. The time managing transaction responsibilities can be time consuming. Thats why were here. We remove managing those critical but time consuming responsibilities from your day, and effectively manage the migration to your new service and cost savings

8. FIRST BILL REVIEW: Cut over is complete. Services are up and stable. It's quite common for suppliers negotiated rates to be miskeyed as orders are procured in their internal systems. Our organization provides a "First Bill Review" to ensure that carrier billing matches the agreements fiscal framework. If corrections are required, corrections are made and credits are applied.

9. MANAGE & MAINTAIN: EVEREST can provide our customers with 7x24x365 proactive network monitoring and carrier ticketing. Our Service Desk allows our customers to rest assured that the supplier services are being independently watched and service tickets are created timely with hourly heuristic inquiry and updates. Our customers can elect either proactive or reactive support ensuring the EVEREST team continues to work on their behalf and as an effective advocate for steady state incident management.

10. TECHNOLOGY EXPENSE MANAGEMENT: For customers that have multiple sites, multiple technologies, multiple bills, multiple cost centers - or any combination therein, EVEREST can provide comprehensive Technology Expense Management. Our team ingests your bills into our TExMS tools and can run monthly audits and reports so our customers CIO's can easily understand cost progression and budget alignment, and billing pays the accurate amount without hours wasted every month trying to aggregate and understand bill rates. Further, our tool automatically flags bills that are above or below pre-determined thresholds so billing inquiries by EVEREST on your behalf are targeted and timely.
