Make the Most of Cloud Technology for Your Business

Not too long ago, NWMAP introduced Cloud Firewall Services (CFS) from Integra Telecom https://nwmap.com/new-from-integra-cloud-firewall-services-cfs . More businesses are becoming interested and utilizing cloud technology. One of the caveats to this is even the IT departments can’t keep up with changing demands of new new products and services so it’s important to take stock of what you have and what you need before embarking on new technological territory. 

Of course the agents at NWMAP can give you free quotes and assess your needs for free. A telecom broker is always a good service to use for something so important as your business’ efficiency and bottom line. They can help a business make a smooth transition to using cloud services. Here are some tips about utilizing cloud technology:

  • Assess the demands cloud technology will place on your current network. For bandwidth concerns it may be wise to contact a Telecom Agent or your provider.
  • Realize that cloud is only as secure and reliable as its connection.
  • For your network’s ability to handle cloud services, you must know your network’s scalability, reliability, redundancy and quality of service (Qos).
  • Consider ethernet or MPLS- it can lower costs.
  • What is your plan with using Cloud based services? Applications?
  • Make an existing overview of how many employees, how much use/transactions, determine busy points of usage. Calculate bytes usage based on this info and determine bandwidth usage.
  • There will be a lot of estimating and guesswork, but a Telecom agent can significantly reduce chances for errors.

Video Conferencing For Employee Training

The importance of video conferencing for new or ongoing employee training is crucial to reaching optimum efficiency and performance within a business. Companies that have multiple locations must have this feature. The technology is there, lower costs than ever on this technology is available, and the facts overwhelmingly support the necessity of it. What you need to know is, are you getting what you need?

First you need a Telecom Agency you trust. They should consistently keep you updated on new products as they roll out, better prices, and consolidated plans. They shouldn’t pressure you into anything you don’t need, but rather offer addtional solutions for what you already have or create a better plan that can save you money.

Benefits of video conferencing are increased productivity, lower cost than in-person training (cost of air-fare isn’t going down), ability to embrace new company programs and business practices, and easily fits into or can be adjusted around regular work day activities. These benefits may or may not apply to you right now. You may have an existing system, but question whether you are getting what you want out of it or whether something newer with a lower price tag is out there.

NWMAP, a reputable Telecom Master Agency, has access to a variety of carriers with specific products and services, including but not limited to, video conferencing.
