Tangoe has expanded its Unified Communication as a Service (UCaaS) Expense Management offering. An extension of the Tangoe One cloud solution, the technology is specifically designed to help companies navigate the complexities of a new work-from-anywhere environment where efficient real-time communications, discussions and collaborations are critical. 

Tangoe's UCaaS solution ensures organizations stay productive, and confirms technology is being used appropriately, while maximizing investments and streamlining costs. Leveraging the power of cloud, it delivers accurate, near real-time expense management alongside advanced reporting, analytics and alerts. Taking charge of popular cloud-driven, unified communications expenses like Zoom and other platforms, enterprises can drive new levels of productivity and accelerate their bottom line. 

"As the workforce undergoes a rapid and massive transformation to a hybrid model where employees seamlessly switch between work at home or at the office on a day-to-day basis, companies must make business communications ubiquitous, unified, and ever-available to keep people connected," said Hyoun Park, CEO and Chief Analyst, Amalgam Insights. "Expense management solutions designed to optimize Unified Communications as a Service investments ensure that all relevant employees have the communications tools they need while providing organizations with vital visibility into how cloud-based UCaaS usage affects the company's financial bottom line." 

Tangoe's UCaaS solution integrates disparate communications strategies and solutions into a unified, fully featured offering. Eliminating the complexity of managing enterprise UCaaS programs, it builds on Tangoe's decades-long track-record of technology expense management with a feature-rich suite including cost and usage management, traffic, trend monitoring and analysis, rate plan and pricing validation and invoice processing and payment.  

"For years, customers have chosen to partner with Tangoe to maximize their technology investments. We realize how important it is for organizations to secure a holistic and near real-time view into their technology expenses, which is why Tangoe One has been so well received," said Yaakov Shapiro, Tangoe Chief Product Officer. "This means offering solutions that not only meet challenges of today but prepare them for whatever comes next. Our UCaaS solution is the newest - but not final - addition to an ongoing journey to help companies stay productive with technology, reduce expenses and enhance their bottom line in the age of cloud and beyond."
