Calero, a leader in the high-growth Technology Expense Management
(TEM) software space, announced that it is making a significant expansion to
its solution offering by launching a Unified Communications-as-a-Service
(UCaaS) Expense Management module as part of its platform. The company is
the first-to-market with a comprehensive solution for managing and optimizing
both the variable and fixed costs associated with UCaaS programs integrated
with its established wireline and mobility programs.
The impact of the global coronavirus pandemic further accelerated the trend
toward online enterprise collaboration and cloud-based communication
platforms (UCaaS). UCaaS platforms like Zoom, Teams and Webex have
become required as businesses around the world have rearchitected their
workforces to enable them to work from home. According to Gartner, by 2024,
75% of enterprise workers will no longer require a desk phone, up from 30% in
2020. With the new UCaaS expense management module from Calero,
companies will now have complete visibility of subscription spend, utilization,
analytics, and management across leading UCaaS platforms like Zoom, Teams
and Webex.
“Calero is proud to release this industry-first solution to the market, helping our customers manage their technology spend and navigate rapidly changing business environments. We continue to look at industry trends, and work in partnership with our customers to deliver what they need to be successful. As a result, we are ideally
positioned to enable this technology shift for our customers, while delivering incredible insight that allow enterprises to understand and manage their investments within a single application.” said President and CRO, Andrew Taylor.
Gartner recently recognized that enterprise communications and IT services continue to grow, driven by more video usage, cloud-based services, and the use of IoT services, as these and other services fulfill an increasingly enabling role for enterprises on their journey toward digitization. Enterprises use TEM services to optimize and manage the
cost for communications services.
Calero is the only expense management solution provider that connects UCaaS usage and spend with variable call costs to identify and quickly eliminate technology waste. TEM, Digital Workplace and Software Asset Management Teams can:
- Discover and analyze subscription costs and usage in a single integrated solution for the entire organization
- Automatically identify where usage or plans can be right sized, as well as audit and validation of subscription
charges - Seamlessly integrate wireline and call plan expenses in a single view
- Empower managers to reallocate underutilized subscriptions and maximize value through advanced analytics
- Provide end users a portal to view their applications, costs, and the ability to self-manage their applications
By integrating its industry leading TEM solution with a new UCaaS offering, Calero provides enterprise clients with a simple, and easy to use platform to view, understand and manage their complex technology expenses - something that no other TEM provider offers today.
