vCom Solutions, Inc. – Providing revolutionary IT Spend and Lifecycle Management services

The Silicon Review

Not so long ago, the idea of budgeting and planning around technology expenses was not as important as today; the costs were a lot simpler and did not involve monthly fees, pay-per-use, or multiple tiers of charges. Today, tracking technology expenses has quickly become necessary to invest in new initiatives and keep operational costs. However, while we don't have to look so far back to retrace the TEM beginnings, it's an ever-evolving field. Telecom and mobility were the first communication technology types that needed tracking because of its cost structure and its widespread use across businesses.
