If you have been in telecom long enough, you have come across many organizations that
proclaim the ability to deliver meteoric benefits with regards to telecom costs. Our
challenge is to communicate the fundamental difference between those organizations who
focus on tactical engagements including one-time audits and ACCOUNTabill who delivers a
comprehensive telecom governance program for the management of all corporate telecom
assets. The key differences that make ACCOUNTabill accountable are:
THE GOAL IS TELECOM GOVERNANCE
ACCOUNTabill delivers solutions for total governance over telecom assets. This approach ensures
the protection of company IP, ensures the implementation of company policies, cleanses billing for
telecom assets, optimizes costs and streamlines critical processes including procurement, payment
and error management. Whereas audits can provide some cost savings, the efficiencies associated
with this approach provide significantly higher savings, efficiencies and control that are sustainable
over time.
AN ACCOUNTabill RELATIONSHIP IS A STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIP
ACCOUNTabill's intention is to establish long-term partnerships with our clients to implement and
manage governance programs. The strategic nature of this approach ensures that ACCOUNTabill's
practices align with the best interests of our clients and are not focused on short term revenue
associated with tactical audit engagements. This approach has enabled ACCOUNTabill to build
partnerships with clients from a variety of industries. To date ACCOUNTabill is fortunate enough to
have retained all organizations who have adopted our Managed Services Platform.
DELIVER RESULTS NOT TECHNOLOGY
ACCOUNTabill's focuses on the delivery of services for telecom governance which includes systems,
processes and expertise. ACCOUNTabill does not simply sell software. Despite our significant
investment in TACKS (Telecom Advanced Consolidated Knowledge System), ACCOUNTabill has chosen
to use TACKS as an enabler and not a deliverable. Our decision is predicated on the fact that our
clients are looking for complete solutions to their problems which is not accomplished by delivering
software alone, either hosted or non-hosted. Clients who choose to procure software as the backbone
of their telecom governance program must also invest significantly in process transformation and the
addition of in-house expertise to accomplish their goals. This approach is not cost effective when
compared to ACCOUNTabill's services model.
ALL ABOUT TELECOM

telecom governance as our one and only line of business. As such, all of our strategic investment is
geared towards deepening our considerable knowledge in this arena.

America. We have integrated processes with all customer-facing carrier touch points including sales,
procurement, billing management, customer support, etc. This structure ensures that ACCOUNTabill
is aware of the latest service offerings, pricing and hedging strategies that further our clients'

WE KNOW TELECOM
ACCOUNTabill's depth of telecom knowledge comes from many sources starting with the telecom
pedigree of the executive management, the carrier background of our associates and the knowledge
we retain by managing telecom services across North America with tier 1 carriers for clients from
multiple industries.

ACCOUNTabill's services are applicable to ALL voice, data and wireless services from carriers
across North America. Many clients have included other telecom related services such as network
monitoring costs, hardware leasing costs, software license costs, maintenance costs, etc.
BEST OF BREED TECHNOLOGY
ACCOUNTabill has developed TACKS (Telecom Advanced Consolidated Knowledge System) to
provide a suite of services that includes procurement management, invoice validation, error
management, payment allocation, payment processing and payment posting management. TACKS
continues to evolve as a result of our extensive knowledge derived from managing telecom services
from clients in various industries. The accumulated intelligence ensures that TACKS has embedded
functionality that competing software has not conceptualized. For example, TACKS payment posting
module monitors payments issued to carriers to ensure they are posted correctly. Current ERP
systems cannot detect these errors for recurring charges. TACKS is capable of detecting these errors,
reconciling the accounts and eliminating accumulating balance forward liability.
