The End is Near…for Flying Blind in WAN Purchasing
October 18, 2006
TeleGeography has taken the guesswork out of WAN pricing.
Enterprises can now answer:
What is the component breakdown of my WAN service costs? How competitive is my price? What global cities are the most expensive to connect to my WAN?
Carriers can now answer:
How do my prices compare versus the competition? Where are my best margins? How do I create my discount structure? At what price will my customers upgrade to my VPN service?
Only TeleGeography’s new Enterprise Network Pricing Service delivers current market rates for MPLS VPN services, Dedicated Internet Access, and Retail Private Line services on a global basis. This comprehensive analysis provides insight into typical network pricing structures, levels of customer interest, leading service providers, and varying conditions across the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
The Enterprise Network Pricing Service will be delivered quarterly with updated carrier data, customer interviews, and market commentary. Below is an example of this data at work showing MPLS VPN Median Port Charges for cities around the world. The cities and bandwidth variables can be interchanged as needed.
Leveraging years of gathering and analyzing telecom market data, TeleGeography has built a concise model that puts real competitive prices, not list prices, in management’s hands. “Pricing and network managers gather what competitive pricing data they can to make decisions in an opaque market. Now they will see what their competitors or service providers are offering more clearly than before, taking some of the guesswork out of their jobs,” says Rob Schult, Director of Research at TeleGeography, adding, “Over time as we continue tracking developments and enhancing our data sets we’ll also be able to monitor trends more effectively and relate keen insights into bandwidth pricing not systematically tracked before in the marketplace.”
TeleGeography’s new Enterprise Network Pricing Service provides the only comprehensive and continuously updated source of WAN pricing and expert analysis. Similar to its companion resource, the Wholesale Bandwidth Pricing Service, this new service focuses on actual competitive bid prices so you can rest assured you have the information needed to make informed decisions when buying or selling managed services.
