Background:

SpyGlass Group, LLC specializes in telecommunication audits. The company will review all of the City’s communications such as data line billing, voice billing, internet and wireless communications to determine if there are services the City is paying for but not in use or is no longer using; making sure the bills are consistent with contracts, etc. If the company does not find any discrepancies there is no cost to the city. Fees are success based fees:

 

                     If they find no discrepancies or we choose not to implement their recommendations the City pays nothing

                     Fees only pertain to the recommendations the City chooses

                     50% Cost recovery

                     12 times any monthly service elimination and cost reduction savings, which ensures that our ROI will be realized within 12 months.

 

 

Cost:                                                                $0 (Success based fees, only get paid if they uncover incorrect billing)

Funding Source:                     N/A
