TMC led carrier documentation, needs assessment, design, bidding, and negotiation process for all Operating Companies under the Masco umbrella. This process covered all areas of the WAN, including:
- Long-distance voice, local voice, data circuits, Internet services
- Feeding of retail store kiosks
- Service all of Home Depot sites
- Wireless services
- Data center optimization
The initial savings exceeded $2.1 million per year, totaling $6.3 million over the three-year term, solely on the long-distance voice and data spend. An additional $1.3 million per year, resulting in phase 2 savings of $3.9 million, was also identified for the local exchange, internet, and wireless services once the major long-distance and data services were converted. These massive savings were achieved while still using dual Tier One carriers for the primary services and a third Tier One carrier for built-in business continuity and disaster recovery.
