Telecom - Outsourcing

Interest in outsourcing internal telecommunications functions has emerged in recent years. Our Telecommunications Group is skilled at assisting clients with this process. From the critical decision of whether or to what extent to outsource, to structuring, negotiating and implementing the arrangement, we provide the guidance necessary to a successful outcome.

Outsourcing can be an attractive option to a company seeking to eliminate the administrative and other costs that a telecommunications system entails. In the regulatory environment governing these systems, however, a decision to outsource can be an irreversible one. Companies should only undertake this course after making an informed decision as to the full long term costs and benefits of outsourcing. We have counseled our clients extensively on this analysis.

Once the decision to proceed is made, we counsel clients on the development of the arrangement, as well as ongoing troubleshooting. Only through ongoing vigilance and oversight can companies maintain continuity in the service they enjoyed from their formerly internal systems. We help assure that this objective is reached by anticipating provider issues and taking rapid and decisive steps to protect companies' rights when they arise.
