AOTMP Advances Industry Research Efforts in Best Practices for Telecom and IT Management.

INDIANAPOLIS -- AOTMP, the authority on standards and best practices for telecom management, announced today the expansion of its research practice for telecom environment management. The organization plans to nearly triple the amount of research publications it produces for enterprise telecom and IT professionals by year-end.

AOTMP currently publishes research reports, market landscapes, and briefs throughout the year to deliver relevant and timely industry research on telecom management issues. Now, the organization has strengthened resources for even more focus on industry research efforts, and delivering insight to enterprise telecom and IT decision makers.

"For many organizations, telecom, wireless, and other managed IT services become a bigger challenge everyday," said Tim Lybrook, AOTMP President and CEO. "They want best practice advice on how to tackle challenges like growing wireless mobility, they want to know how others companies are addressing these issues, and they want tangible benchmark data to understand what they're doing and what direction to go. We're committed to uncovering this information in the marketplace, so that enterprises can use this insight to dramatically improve efficiency in their telecom environment and how it serves the overall business."

Supporting the expanded efforts on enterprise telecom management industry research, David Downey has joined as the newest AOTMP research analyst. David brings with him more than eight years of research experience, with a focus on decision support.

"David's contribution will focus on collecting and interpreting benchmark data that enterprises can use to make better decisions in their enterprise telecom operations," said Tim Colwell, AOTMP Vice President of Knowledge Operations. "His strong background in financial and management reporting will also strengthen the areas of our research targeted to telecom expense management."

"It's great to join AOTMP at a time when the industry is really recognizing the value of this kind of information, and looking for guidance and proven practices in applying it to achieve greater efficiency in their telecom operations," said David Downey.

David previously worked in decision support for the Indiana University Medical Group and the Indiana University Institute of Psychiatric Research. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Management and a Masters of Science degree in Applied Statistics from Purdue University.
