News: Sakon Renews their Efficiency First Certification. Read the story
Find solutions that really work
Partnering with an AOTMP certified vendor mitigates risks, improves service quality, and drives better business performance overall.
I came to AOTMP® based on an email to attend a webinar regarding Telecom Expense Management tools. I missed the class but was able to have a conversation about our current environment and what we really wanted. AOTMP shared insight and referred some appropriate vendors in the market. They facilitated an introduction and fast forward to today - an implementation.
Their knowledge of the industry and the appropriate vendors was of significant help to us. This saved us significant time, which we all know equals money!!
I am trying to show my team how networking can work in ways you didn’t think. I am sure we are going to be very happy. There are so many attributes from the vendor you introduced us to that we don’t have today that will allow my department the opportunity to continuously show cost savings, automation and process streamlining.
The integration with Service Now, Workday, Active Directory and our MDM – Intune will also demonstrate to management we are on top of our game.
My department has always been ahead when it comes to bringing in tools that makes our jobs easier – This integration will show the other Sony companies – what they too can do!!!
