Regulatory obligations continue well after initial certification. A
typical nationwide provider of integrated telecom services must file
hundreds of reports with regulatory agencies each year. Mandatory reporting
requirements and applicable fees change frequently. Such challenges make
it difficult for companies to remain in compliance. Missing reports and
deadlines can erode your revenue through late fees, interest, and in
severe cases, loss of certification within a state.

TMI is recognized as the best out-source service in the country for preparing, filing, and tracking these
reports on behalf of our clients at a cost that is far less than a single internal staff person.

Our clients provide information monthly that is used to populate reports automatically. The reports are
then reviewed and sent to the client for approval or any additional information that is not routinely gathered.
TMI files all reports and tracks their receipt by the various agencies, answering questions as needed.

large number of carriers
