For many years the role of a telecommunications consultant has been to collect all of your bills, ensure the accuracy of the billing and determine if everything being billed was actually being used by the client. They would then demand refunds from the carrier or vendor for discrepancies and bill you for half of the annual savings and half of the amount they were able to secure as a refund. This model resulted in a short-term engagement by the consultant and probably resulted in you and your company in the same place you were as technology and business needs evolved through the years.
