Business Tips from Albert Einstein

Business and technology are typically synonymous with the future. We don’t even have time for living in the present when it comes to technology, we are already thinking of the future. We rarely look back if only to know how to improve upon and update some form of technology. For the most part, we don’t want to look back so what could Einstein have to offer our 21st century world of business technology?

 

Wisdom should not be underrated when it comes to business. Einstein was ahead of his time with wisdom applicable to many areas, including business.

 

Albert Einstein said, “Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value.” What value does your business offer the industry? What value do you hold for your customers? People want to know what value is in your business, what you will bring to them.

 

Simple may not be a word that comes to mind when we think about Einstein. But he once said, “Everything should be made as simple as possible but not any simpler”. Telecom should be about customers getting what they want the way they want it. Nothing should be made more difficult than it has to be. Telecom should make business easier, more efficient. We’re in the business of solutions. When technology becomes overwhelming to manage and use, then it’s not serving its intended purpose.

In the News: Senate Rejects FCC Net Neutrality Rules

April 8, 2011: U.S. House of Representatives approved a measure to nullify FCC net neutrality rules that were adopted last year. The net neutrality rules, adopted in December 2010, prevent carriers, such as AT&T, Verizon and Comcast, from discriminating against competitors by impeding the transport of content over their broadband networks.

Those  backing the legislation  stated the FCC lacks the authority to impose the net neutrality rules and that the government should stay out of regulating the Internet. Some believe the net rules would stifle innovation, investment and jobs in the private sector.

In 2010, a federal appeals court ruled the FCC did not have the authority to regulate Internet traffic under existing law. The ruling prompted the FCC to try again, finding a different rationale for its authority to regulate Internet traffic management to ensure that content receive equal treatment by carriers.

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.
