The Level 3 Managed Services ROI Calculator is an interactive tool that enables business to determine how outsourcing the management of their telecommunications services could increase the return on their communications service investments.

In order for businesses to use bandwidth to create services and goods they need additional equipment like routers and firewalls. Configuring and managing these devices takes resources. By outsourcing the management of these devices businesses can positively impact their ROI. By outsourcing, instead needing to purchase equipment and divert IT resources to non-core tasks, businesses can let their telecom provider provide the devices and expertise.
