Don’t Just Manage Expenses. Optimize Them.

Tired of vetting hundreds of monthly bills and constantly engaging in billing disputes? Do you wish it was automated?

Technology solutions and their billing terms are often complex. Validating the hundreds of invoices that your company receives can be difficult and time-consuming. It’s easier to just pay when disputing charges can put you at risk for service disruptions, fees and conflict with suppliers. Costs can quickly get out of control.

BCM One Technology Expense Management helps you take charge of your technology spend. With BCM One’s Technology Expense Management, you can leverage Technology Expense Management features with the added benefits of Technology Expense Optimization. No other provider offers a single, automated solution to solve problems rather than just identifying them. Our TEM solution is the ideal solution for mid-to-enterprise level businesses with a minimum of forty-thousand per month technology spend.

Our proprietary Sophia™ platform is a first-of-its-kind managed Technology Expense Optimization solution that automates billing verification, issue identification, dispute resolution and bill payment so you can work smarter and process invoices accurately and confidently. Our clients save up to 20% on annual technology spend within the first year of working with us.

Core Features

BCM One’s Technology Expense Management is unlike anything you’ve ever used or seen on the market. Our technology, data and forensic accounting specialists developed and support a solution to help you ease your workload, streamline expense management, and save money.

Sophia automatically updates inventory every time you receive an invoice and resolve exceptions, for an always-current, centralized database. Before a technology invoice appears in Sophia for your review, our solution checks billing data against service inventory data to identify inconsistencies, line by line. It then provides tools to research and fix issues with a few clicks.

Sophia is the only tool that gives you the option of allocating technology invoices at the header, sub-account or service number level. Sophia stores and automatically inherits allocations from month to month. We even customize our processes to fit your specific workflow, integrating it into your business systems for ultimate efficiency and accuracy.

Sophia also cues up proactive email notifications to your team when contract milestones are approaching to help you avoid inadvertent auto-renews, tariff rate conversions and extensions of off-market contracts. Our pricing team will negotiate with tier-one suppliers to get you the best technology at the most competitive rates and terms.
