Telergee Rural Telecom Benchmarking Study
By definition, a benchmark serves as a standard by which others may be measured or judged. Each year, in association with TELERGEE Alliance, Moss Adams conducts a benchmarking study of more than 200 nationwide rural ILECs, which allows participants to compare their company against other companies with competing or similar services.
Benchmarking can produce comparisons which help management identify savings opportunities, highlight company strengths or weaknesses, and set goals for improvement. Our benchmarking study collects data in order to define relevant peer groups for comparison and includes key measurements related to:
- Asset allocations, liabilities, debt, and equity
- Revenues, expenses, and profitability
- CLEC data
- Federal and state support levels
- Plant investment
- Nonregulated investments and operations, particularly wireless, internet, and cable TV
- Service penetrations and customer counts
- Payroll and staffing data
- Forecasted income and investment information
- Credit rating definitions and scores
The scorecard, which is the result of your company’s study participation, shows your individual benchmarks compared to measurements of the classification your company is in, as well as the national averages.
To participate in the benchmark study, contact Rick Betts at 509-777-0187 or send him an e-mail. The cost is $1,500.
