IMG Services

IMG maintains:

  • A simplistic audit model that is not intrusive to your business
  • A staff of industry experts who are well experienced in tracing switch and circuit records all the way to the bill to verify their accuracy
  • A cost effective business model that makes our process easy on your budget
  • A philosophy that our role is to “Gather what is scattered” and use that to improve your bottom line.

Why select IMG as your Telecommunications Consult?

IMG knows how to solve the problem! No two companies are the same, each has their own needs and priorities, but all our clients have had “stuff” on their desks that needed attention. Problems that needed to be solved, some clients have been of a nature of having a problem but not knowing exactly what it is or what is causing it; at times, it has been a known problem but one that our client didn’t have the time and/ or the people to fix; and sometimes they had fixed their problem but the specific solution couldn’t be sustained.

These would all be valid reasons to bring in an outside solution provider, such as IMG, because your existing staff may not be trained to handle this situation or the existing workload may have consumed the time of all of your team members.

IMG is a billing solutions and telecommunications expense management company.

What does that mean? We are:

  • A facilitator of increasing revenue/ billing streams and an access cost cutting solution provider
  • A value added provider of problem solutions with people, process and technology combined to deliver value to your bottom line
  • A supplier of comprehensive telecommunication processes to convert detailed call detail and circuit detail data into actionable business intelligence.
  • A skilled team with a combination of in-house analytical tools and technology partners
  • An agent that can act as an extension of your company
  • A company that truly understands the carrier business, the necessary technology and the telecommunications industry.
