Frequently asked questions:
What is a TEM solution?
TEM solutions collect telecom and mobile invoices, audit contracts, and negotiate with vendors. Perhaps the most important aspect of telecom expense management is its ability to proactively reduce expenses. This is accomplished by providing companies better control of their fixed-line phones, voice, and data services.
With better visualization of data and better tracking of providers, it’s that much easier to pinpoint strategies to reduce costs. It’s also easier to introduce new efficiencies, as all the elements of the management system work together. This makes validation and optimization, including ensuring providers are charging at their contracted rates, a streamlined and organized process.
TEMs collect information from telecom and mobile invoices to bring highly detailed voice and network expense information together with automated solutions for reporting, analytics, chargebacks, and more to help organizations, gain visibility, save time, and reduce costs.

What information can TEMs provide?
Insight into inventory, contract conditions, and details like minimum spend commitments or volume commitments, rate guides, change management, and IT financial data so business leaders can answer the tough questions like:
- What assets do we own and where are they?
- Which invoices have we paid?
- Are we paying the right amount?
- Could we be spending less?
- How much should we budget for next year?
Additionally, TEMs like brightfin help with managing the full lifecycle of your devices.

What's the difference between a native ServiceNow application and an integration?
The desire for companies to leverage their existing ITSM platform to manage TEM has led a number of legacy providers to build integrations with ServiceNow. These integrations vary in functionality and depth, but only brightfin is natively built on ServiceNow.
