Key Objectives:

Contract Negotiation & Standardization:

Quantify the financial impact of optimization efforts, demonstrating a clear Return on Investment (ROI).

Provide monthly reports detailing year-to-date cost avoidances and monthly/annualized recurring cost savings. Anticipated Financial Impact:

Circuit Optimization:

Achieve a 12% to 20% reduction in monthly costs and establish fixed-rate pricing for all circuits, including the 200+ circuits up for renewal.

Standardized video and cable modem pricing will further contribute to cost savings.

Estimated annualized OPEX savings of $350,000 across multiple vendors.
