The global telecoms market is predicted to develop at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4% from 2021 to 2028, meaning that telecoms will likely be one of the most significant advances in technology of the next decade. Yet for enterprises, managing global telecoms has become complex.

As the market continues to grow, organizations need a cohesive method of overseeing the entire communications lifecycle and delivering support to end-users, no matter where they are in the world.

From initial sourcing, evaluation, and negotiation of telecom services to long-term telecom expense management and managing contract renewals – many businesses lack the internal time, resources, and industry knowledge to extract the most value from their telecom contracts.

To put this into perspective, our global telecoms map explores the true extent of the telecom market and how it varies by region.

The Challenges of Managing Global Telecoms

It’s important to have control and visibility of your telecom environment on a global scale. But for internal teams, improving visibility isn't always that simple. Especially when the environment crosses multiple country borders, currencies, languages, and respective telecom providers.

It’s common to struggle with managing the differences in billing, service levels, or user experience between regions or countries. Even if you do, the complexity of global telecoms means that misallocated resources, lack of choice of telecom vendors, poor vendor relationships, and absence of standardized processes negatively impact your global telecom estate.

Many businesses end up paying for more than they need because they don't have visibility of extraneous costs that might appear over time.
