ERA Process

Integrating this expert knowledge and experience into ERA’s proven systems and purchasing influence, Pritesh is able to identify cost savings, get increased value add and provide transparency of costs to clients in this area. This can only be successfully achieved by truly understanding the client’s requirements:

  • Communication strategy and roadmap
  • Existing infrastructure and configuration
  • The service and solutions delivery by suppliers
  • Current price base and cost sensitivities
  • Understanding existing contracts and commitments
  • Ongoing management of solutions and cost monitoring
  • Contract optimising
  • The needs of the client’s key decision-makers and stakeholders

Offering a choice of solutions/suppliers

Over the years Pritesh has developed an in-depth knowledge of the communications marketplace and the key suppliers operating within each segment of the market. He is able to use this knowledge/contacts to source “best of breed” suppliers who can offer the very best service and technological solutions in a cost effective manner. In addition, as he is independent (of suppliers/solutions) he is able to identify appropriate solutions for clients and steer them in the direction to meet their requirements.

With this insight Pritesh is able to identify and help the client select the most appropriate carriers for their needs. This helps to create the most competitive pricing and appropriate value added solutions, without compromising service.
