The scale leader in technology expense management: fixed, mobile, and cloud spend on one platform, built for the largest global estates.

Best for: global enterprise expense programs

Tangoe is the largest platform in technology expense management and the first name most enterprise buyers hear. The company has grown through two decades of acquisitions into a single platform, Tangoe One, that manages fixed telecom, mobility from procurement through decommissioning, cloud and software subscriptions, and invoice payment, and its published scale figures are the biggest in the category: tens of billions in technology spend managed, hundreds of thousands of invoices processed each month, and device lifecycles run in the millions. Analyst coverage has been continuous in both expense management and managed mobility. The boundaries come with the territory. The platform is built for the Fortune 500, implementation is a genuine project, and public reviews return to the same complaints of slow invoice loading and support that answers eventually rather than quickly. The company has been privately held by the same investment owner since 2017. For a global enterprise that wants one accountable platform across every domain of technology spend, Tangoe belongs on the shortlist, priced seriously and held to a service level agreement as firm as the software contract.

Why use an advisor

  • One conversation instead of five vendor sales processes.
  • You buy directly from the provider you choose, at the same or better pricing: providers quote sharper when they know the whole market is being compared.
  • Advice that includes "don't buy this," because we have no stake in which provider wins.
  • Coverage of the whole market, including providers you've never heard of.
  • Provider claims checked against what advisors see across live quotes, not against brochures.
