The Hidden Risk in “Routine” Renewals
Telecom and mobility spend often runs quietly in the background. It does not spike like cloud. It does not dominate board discussions like cybersecurity. But it represents millions in recurring operational dependency.
When renewals are handled tactically:
- Inefficiencies get locked in for years
- Outdated pricing structures persist
- Billing discrepancies go unchallenged
- Compliance exposure increases
- Negotiating leverage erodes
By the time leadership realizes the impact, the contract is signed
