ATLANTA, Jan. 26, 2009 — Given the challenges of the global economy, a new company, TelAuthority, LLC, founded by industry’s leading experts, has emerged to lead the enterprise call to action in quickly reducing costs and improving efficiencies. Investments in telecommunication services have become a vital area of improvement for enterprises to address the economic hardships of today. TelAuthority provides customized professional services to source, procure, negotiate and optimize the purchase of wireless and wireline telecommunication services. TelAuthority specializes in all categories of telecom services, including Wireless and Mobility, Local Telco, Long Distance, Enhanced Toll-Free, Data Networks, MPLS, Internet Access and Managed Services. With initial offices in Atlanta, Georgia and Destin, Florida, TelAuthority provides global solutions to Fortune 2000 type companies.
TelAuthority commences operation as an already recognized industry leader based on the proven track records of its two founders. Pete Wilson, Chief Executive Officer, and Bob Arnold, President, are well-known industry icons and former carrier executives themselves, each possessing deep knowledge and hands-on experience in working multi-million-dollar enterprise supplier agreements. Mr. Wilson was the founder and CEO of Telwares, a highly successful telecom consultancy and sold his interests to the private equity group of JP Morgan Chase. With 20 years of directly relevant experience, Mr. Wilson has personally negotiated hundreds of enterprise agreements including over 100 Fortune companies. Mr. Arnold was most recently Vice President of ICB Pricing for AT&T where he was responsible for all individually negotiated contracts for AT&T’s core enterprise business segment. During his 20-year career, Mr. Arnold has been directly involved with thousands of offers, contracts, and proposals for enterprise and wholesale companies and was responsible for leading the pricing activities for multi-billion-dollar product portfolios.
TelAuthority was created to fill a void of seasoned leadership to guide enterprises through the assessment and execution of telecom sourcing opportunities. Commenting on his latest entrepreneurial venture, Pete Wilson, CEO, stated, “Most large enterprises believe they are in pretty good shape with their contracts but fail to ask the better question, which is: Do I have a world-class contract? Most companies fall well short of this higher standard. Bob and I combined forces via TelAuthority to fill this need during these difficult economic times.” Bob Arnold, President, added, “The message of saving money has always resonated well with enterprise executive management, but given the state of the economy, saving money has moved beyond a good thing to do. It has become a critical action that all enterprises must now fully embrace.”
The genesis of TelAuthority’s process is the rendering of a no-cost assessment of the embedded opportunity and cost-cutting strategies in the client’s current arrangements. This deliverable provides meaningful insight and market validation of where an enterprise presently stands.
