Inventory Every Circuit Before You Pay for What You Don't Need
Merging organizations inherit overlapping WAN circuits, duplicate internet connections, and forgotten carrier contracts. RLM builds a complete circuit inventory across both entities, identifies redundancies, and creates the roadmap to eliminate waste while maintaining connectivity.
Circuit Inventory
RLM provides independent, vendor-neutral advisory that gives deal teams and integration leaders the technology clarity they need to make informed decisions and execute with confidence.
Circuit & Connection Audit
We pull records from every carrier, cross-reference with billing, and physically validate circuits at each location — documenting service type, bandwidth, contract terms, and the business applications that depend on each connection.
Location-to-Circuit Mapping
We build a site-by-site map of all WAN, internet, and MPLS circuits across both organizations — identifying overlapping coverage, redundant paths, and locations where consolidation creates immediate savings.
Billing Reconciliation
We reconcile carrier invoices against active service records to identify billing errors, charges for disconnected circuits, and rate discrepancies — recovering credits and eliminating phantom charges that accumulate during M&A transitions.
Contract & Term Analysis
We catalog every carrier contract — term length, auto-renewal dates, early termination penalties, and rate escalation clauses — creating the decision matrix for which circuits to retain, renegotiate, or disconnect.
Consolidation Recommendations
We design the consolidated network topology — identifying which circuits to keep, where to upgrade, where to migrate to SD-WAN or broadband, and the sequence that maintains business connectivity throughout the transition.
Disconnect & Migration Coordination
We manage the carrier coordination for circuit disconnects and migrations — ensuring proper sequencing, avoiding early termination penalties where possible, and verifying replacement connectivity before decommissioning legacy circuits.
Where This Matters Most
Sector-specific considerations we see repeatedly in manda advisory engagements.
