The feature article can be found at www.trcutlerinc.com and Cutler details the quality process with outside operations-expense management firms is much different. Instead of three steps, there are more than ten documented quality steps depending on the type of solution being offered.

Quality steps for operations-expense management:

* Scanning and bar-coding the bill * Extracting the data * Stage one of bill auditing, which includes auditing 120 data points * Paying the bill * Uploading the data into Web-hosted software * Performing information management functions such as analytics and document storage and retrieval * Invoice auditing * Rate analysis * Benchmarking * Demand-side management * Performing many other operational-expense management services * Budget forecasting and variance reporting

"When performing bill auditing and rate analysis services, many utilities in


the United States have errors on at least one to three percent of the bills they send to their customers and have at least some of their customers on the wrong rate. Sometimes finding and fixing these quality mistakes translate into small incremental savings, but other times it's a quality error that can add up to a major erroneous expense," said Jeffrey Hart, CEO of Cadence Network, an operations-expense management firm.
