From Cost Center to Strategic Partner with Technology Expense Management

From Cost Center to Strategic Partner with Technology Expense Management

Stop Being “Just Another Seller”

IT teams are tired of transactional pitches and want strategic partners who deliver real impact. With technology expense management (TEM), you can change from a being a vendor into being a hero. You will save money, find risks, and promote smarter business growth.

TEM: Your Fastest Door-Opener

Most partners start with network, security, or data center solutions. However, those conversations don’t always differentiate you, but TEM does.

With TEM, you immediately give customers something they don’t have: visibility.

• Show them where telecom invoices hide waste.
• Help them manage mobility by finding unused lines and lost devices.
• Expose shadow IT and redundant SaaS licenses with software license management.

Visibility turns into credibility. And credibility turns into bigger wallet share.

Calero Gives You the Edge

Other technology expense management providers blur the line between customer and carrier, creating conflicts of interest. Calero doesn’t. We’re independent, so you stay in control.

Platform Power

• Full technology lifecycle management from contracts to inventory, renewals, and spend.
• Real-time insights into telecom services like SD-WAN, Ethernet, Internet, and POTS.
• Visibility into mobility by device, location, and usage and ability to manage software licenses by app, owner, and seats.

Partner Advantage

• Many TEMs act as agents, sitting on both sides of the table and creating conflicts of interest. Calero is not an agent and thus does not complicate partner-client relations.
• Calero is completely independent and neutral. This helps partners build trust and confidence with clients instead of competing.
• We prioritize and protect your carrier relationships.
• We do 90% of the heavy lift so you can focus on growing revenue.

How Partners Become the Hero

True heroes don’t just put out fires. They create the conditions for growth. With Calero’s unified technology expense management platform, partners can step into that role. You move clients from reactive cost cutting to proactive strategy.

One partner used Calero’s mobility management tools to uncover dozens of unused mobile lines that were quietly draining budget. By shutting them down, the client saved 20% on mobility spend. Instead of those dollars disappearing into wasted services, the CIO reinvested them into a necessary cybersecurity refresh. The partner wasn’t just a cost cutter and instead became the catalyst for stronger enterprise resilience.

Another partner leveraged Calero’s SaaS visibility capabilities to identify redundant applications spread across departments. By consolidating those licenses, the client streamlined operations, reduced overhead, and freed budget that the CIO reallocated to innovation projects. Once again, the partner transformed a drain into momentum.

In both cases, the partner becomes a trusted advisor. They find hidden savings and shift spending to what matters. They also make sure the client’s technology investments provide strategic value. With Calero, partners aren’t stuck firefighting and start future-proofing growth.

Why TEM Makes You Indispensable

When you lead with TEM, you:

• Deliver immediate savings—10–30% on telecom and mobility, up to 40% on SaaS.
• Unlock recurring revenue streams tied to IT cost optimization.
• Position yourself as a strategic advisor, not a commodity seller.

Partners who bring TEM into the conversation don’t just manage expenses. They manage opportunity and build trust. With TEM, partners secure their place at the table as the advisor customers can’t afford to lose.
