“Early in Insight Sourcing Group's history, we recognized the specialized nature of telecommunications sourcing and decided to find a best-in-class partner rather than develop the expertise in-house. I personally interviewed a dozen telecom sourcing firms before meeting Advocate Networks. We decided to bring them into one client to see what they could do and if they met our high standards for quality and results. They delivered over 40% savings and the rest, as they say, is history. We have partnered with Advocate Networks on sourcing projects for over 30 companies with an average savings of over 25%. Just as importantly, they ascribe to the high standards of integrity and excellence that we and our clients demand.”
