Answer these questions :-

• Does the cost of your BT phone bill annoy you? Even frighten you?

• Do you ever think of changing to another phone company to save money?

• Do you want to re-charge some of your phone bill to clients, your company or the tax authorities?

We have over ten years of experience in the analysis of phone calls and traffic and have now released the BT Phone Analyser, which is an affordable, comprehensive but easy-to-use product aimed at the small to medium user of BT’s services :-

• The BT Phone Analyser works on the detailed call records that can be downloaded from BT’s web site. (Congratulations to BT here, for developing a downloading process, understandable by all Internet users!)

• All calls can be categorised as subjects like, ‘Personal’, ‘Business’, ‘Kids’ etc., so that costs can be understood and split.

• Names and descriptions can be added to each number called, so that a complete and fully-documented pattern of your call usage can be displayed and printed.

• All the entered names and descriptions are automatically remembered by the program and can even be used to create a personal phone directory.

• All the calls can be viewed individually, sorted and summarised in any way possible to identify high costs, and analysed using a Daisy Chart, which allows links and patterns to be ascertained.

• A new and split phone bill can be produced for re-charging the calls.

So if you used the BT Phone Analyser how would it save money :-

• The biggest saving comes if you can re-charge calls. Many people don’t, as the process is too complicated or your company’s accounts department is too obstructive.

• You can also create a series of re-charging bills. Perhaps even one for everyone who uses the phone!

• Since Daisy Analysis started testing the BT Phone Analyser, our testers have reported that they are now fully aware of what their calls cost. So they modify their behaviour accordingly! We have had reports of savings of up to twenty per cent!

• One tester suggested to his daughter, that instead of phoning her friend in the next street for hours, she actually walked round! (He did not say what reply he received!)

• Another tester hadn’t realised how much they were spending calling their daughter in Australia. They saved a great deal of money by using a lot more e-mail and another company to provide the cheaper international calls.

• The testers to a man and woman, have realised what a rip-off the new 118 numbers are for directory enquiries. Typically, for the cost of one call, you can make about ten to twenty average calls. (Average! Not just off-peak local!) So to blatantly quote Chris Tarrant! ‘Phone a Friend!’ ‘Or Ten Friends!’ Or use BT’s excellent on-line enquiries at www.118500.com.

The BT Phone Analyser is downloaded from the Internet and can be quickly installed on any Windows-based computer.

If you want to use the full facilities of the BT Phone Analyser, then this will cost you £ 19.99.

A small price, when you consider that many users report savings of between ten and twenty per cent.

The BT Phone Analyser is one of a series of database analysers produced by Daisy Analysis :-

Daisy 4D - This is a general purpose database analyser, which is the base program from which all of the specialist analysers have been produced.

Phone Analyser - The BT Phone Analyser's bigger brother that can analyse the calls for many other phone companies, such as Vodafone and O2. This program can also aggregate users and different bills together to analyse usage across a whole company or organisation, so that a proper central philosophy can be developed and implemented.

News Analyser - This searches a news feed called NewsScape for stories that match your criteria. These can then be analysed and published to your Intranet, as part of your comprehensive media monitoring program.

Post Code Analyser - This is designed to work with any database that contains UK Post Codes. They can be verified, tested, mapped and searched.
