Delivering Value Through Insight™ in Corporate & Admin Support Services

Cost Optimization in Corporate & Admin Support Services with Expense Reduction Analysts

While the day-to-day aspects of running an organization can be handled by in-house staff, many organizations rely on outsourced professionals for services, such as IT support or legal counsel, and suppliers to provide and maintain the equipment necessary to keep their offices running smoothly.

However, it can be challenging to determine if these necessary aspects to your business are costing more than they should.

ERA consultants assist clients with reviewing professional service expenses to assess cost-savings opportunities.

Catering companies often work with organisations to prepare and serve food at various events or as part of the services provided by the company.

Expense Reduction Analysts helps organisations to find the most suitable options for their individual requirements and to identify savings opportunities.

Office Supplies, Equipment & Furniture

Pens, paper, staplers, binders, toner cartridges and more are business essentials.

Companies of all sizes use office supplies every day and these expenses can add up quickly.

Expense Reduction Analysts assists organisations in managing expenses, bringing “insider” knowledge about suppliers and pricing to clients.

Are the cheap office supplies promised by office supplies distributors really the least expensive?
Are bulk office supply purchases always the lowest cost alternative?

Printing

Printing services, and the need for printing supplies, vary widely from business to business.

Books, magazines, brochures, posters and other documents are examples of printed materials, yet each of these jobs may be printed using different processes and equipment depending on color, quantity and other variables.

Some companies require commercial printing services from printing companies who handle large-scale business printing needs, beyond standard desktop publishing.

Professional Services

From an operational viewpoint, the day-to-day aspects of running a business may be relatively predictable. The right people and processes are in place.

However for specialised expertise (corporate lawyers, auditors, architects, etc.) businesses often contract with external professionals.

Knowledgeable, experienced Expense Reduction Analysts consultants work with clients to review professional services expenses and overall value.
