“An initial audit by Crystal of wireline and wireless services lead to an 18% reduction in telecom spend and a 33% reduction in invoice count. Subsequent to the initial audit project, Crystal performed an RFP for wireline only which drove an additional 24.5% in savings. They continue to be a partner that provides relevant impact to the organization.”
