How We Do It

We derive telecommunications benchmark data from various sources across multiple industries. A primary source of benchmark data is actual enterprise contracts for services provided by Tier 1 services providers operating in the United States. A secondary source is Tier 1 service provider offers acquired during a competitive request for proposal (RFP) process. Typically, we exclude data sources that are more than 12 months old from the analysis. Click here for information about Advocate Networks’ Telecom Consulting Benchmark Methodology.
