Expense Optimization

Most consultants claim to save you money. Techniques vary but include beating up suppliers, three bids with the lowest winning, or reselling supplier solutions. IEM Group has a different view.

One approach to the market does not fit every client or every spend category.  We believe that every spend category requires knowledge, expertise, and business acumen.  We take the approach that every recommendation is designed for our client's best interest - as though we were in their shoes.

We listen to your needs and interact with the realities of your business. We know that the lowest cost result is not always the right answer.  Other factors include culture, politics, scope of control, business needs, business relationships, total cost of ownership, total value, cost of change, and changing business and technology needs.

The areas listed above are the highest demand areas from our clients. We know that an engineer has to lead a utilities audit review. We know that IT and telecom experience is required to help optimize what your requirements really are versus what technology your past spend suggests they should be. We know that employee benefits are frequently relationship driven but are often noncompetitive, impacting your cost and employee satisfaction. 

Regardless of the category, you have a business to run after we leave. Our goal is to help you through the process and increase your competitive advantage.

Risk Reduction

We believe Identity Theft Solutions is becoming the largest threat to business.  Yet most businesses are not even aware of today's risks for employees, employers, suppliers, and clients. In 2006, $56 billion was lost and 6% of America's adult population was impacted.  The projections are a tsunami increase in both cost and impact on families and companies.  State and Federal governments are adding regulations to businesses and making companies responsible for this trend - even though they are usually victimized themselves.

IEM offers layered protection solutions to help individuals and companies reduce their risk.
