How much can a technology cost review typically save?

It varies widely by how long it has been since the services were last reviewed. Businesses that have not benchmarked their internet, voice, and managed services in three or more years often find 20–40% savings available — sometimes more. The only way to know is to benchmark your specific services against current market pricing for your address.

Is switching providers operationally disruptive?

For most services, no — when it is properly managed. Number porting, IP migration, and service cutover are standard, regulated processes. We plan transitions so the new service is ready before the old one is cut, and we manage the coordination with both the outgoing and incoming provider.

What if I cannot switch because of a contract?

A current contract does not prevent the review — it just changes the timeline. We document the end date and notice window, build the renewal on a calendar, and use the planning time to design the right replacement. You are fully prepared to act the moment the window opens.

Does using SwitchU cost us anything?

No. When you order through us, the supplier pays us a commission. You don't pay more by using SwitchU — your pricing comes directly from the supplier. The review itself is free whether or not you change anything.

Use Case

Reduce technology costs without creating operational risk.

Technology bills tend to accumulate. Services provisioned for a business that looked different three years ago, auto-renewed without review, priced at rates the market has moved well below. A structured review surfaces those gaps — without requiring you to bet operations on a rushed switch.

Where the costs hide

Common sources of unreviewed spend.

Internet priced before fiber arrived at your address

Carrier network investment has been significant over the last five years. Addresses that only had cable or fixed wireless in 2021 often have fiber options today — at lower prices and higher speeds. If you have not checked recently, the market has moved.

Over-provisioned bandwidth

Services are often sized for peak growth projections that never materialized, or for applications that have since moved to cloud where they use bandwidth differently. You may be paying for capacity you do not use.

Duplicate or orphaned services

Legacy lines that were meant to be cancelled, backup circuits from a previous solution, mobile lines for staff who have left — services that billing keeps collecting on because no one owns the list.

Voice seats that scale but never scale down

UCaaS and hosted voice plans are easy to add lines to — and easy to forget to remove them. A seat audit often finds licenses assigned to people who left months ago.

How SwitchU helps

A structured approach to finding savings.

Full service inventory

We start by documenting every active technology service — internet, voice, mobile, security, managed services — with what you are paying, what the contract says, and when it renews. Most businesses find services they had lost track of.

Address-by-address market benchmarking

We pull current pricing and availability from our supplier network for every address you operate from — not a generic estimate but supplier commitments for your specific locations.

A clear picture of where you are paying too much

We map what you pay against what the market offers and identify the highest-priority changes — the ones that save the most with the least operational disruption.

Managed transition when you are ready to act

We coordinate the supplier side of any change — ordering, porting, cutover timing, and making sure the new service is running before the old one is cut. Savings that do not disrupt operations.
