ABSTRACT:
The present invention involves obtaining telecommunications data of a business entity from its communications vendors and providing that business entity with aggregated telecommunications data. After obtaining from multiple vendors both the detailed information of a business entity's telecommunications assets and usage of network services and/or the accompanying costs for those assets and services, the present invention aggregates the detailed information for telecommunications asset management and analysis purposes and provides the business entity with the aggregated information, for example by database or through a network interface.
