Integration of SIP Trunking in 2011

As SIP Trunking technology becomes more widely accepted and utilized in businesses (all sizes) and mobile communications,  the implementation will be boosted this year. Clients want to know what SIP Trunking is and what it will do for their business.

What is SIP Trunking?  (Session Initiation Protocol) connection is a service that connects a company’s PBX to the existing telephone system infrastructure (PSTN) via Internet using the SIP VoIP standard. It’s an efficient type of VoIP that many companies are using to lower their Telecom costs.

What are the BENEFITS for my company? SIP Trunking can be seamlessly integrated into existing systems. Not only that, but it saves you money, fairly quickly upon your initial modest investment. Most companies see a return on investment in as little as 3-6 months. Traditional local and long distance charges decrease dramatically because the call travels mostly over the IP network. Bundles of physical wires are replaced with PSTN connectivity via a SIP trunking service provider on the Internet.  Also, if your company has multiple offices, SIP Trunking technology makes better use of your connectivity. Basically, it makes sense from both the economic standpoint and the business aspect as well.

NWMAP is a reputable Master Agency with over 20 years experience. We offer a variety of SIP Trunking technologies at the best cost for our clients. We really know our Telecom vendors enabling our clients to have choices in services and methods to save money.

Best Telecom Providers

NWMAP (NW Master Agent Program) is partnered with over 40 Telecom vendors. This gives our Agents a variety of options to shop for the right fit products and services for small to large business clients. How do we decide what vendors to work with to give a business the best service? Having the variety is helpful so we can do all the shopping around for our clients, but being able to rely on consistent performance and quality of products offered by each vendor is also necessary.

Here’s why we’ve chosen our vendors, because who you buy from can be just as important as what you buy:

Service and Support: Having a positive working relationship with the vendor and help us make quick fixes. Must be easy to do business with.

Channel friendly: Offer a variety and quality services. Communicate efficiently with us: promotions/deals for clients and program changes.

Products: Product reliability, not having to frequently fix their products. Offer a variety of products fairly priced.

Effective Telecom Strategies

The executive decision makers for a business want to meet the needs of customers who want more for less. However, they need to be able to compete within their own industry, which they assume requires spending more to get more. Concerning technology, and especially Telecom, this doesn’t have to be true. The IT department creates strategies that enable a business to implement additional and/or newer Technology within budget. 

How to Recognize a great Telecom Strategy:  

  • Value: The value of Telecom is virtually priceless. It is excellent, and necessary, for growth and competition. Allocating resources to the capabilities that will give you the most substantial return on your investment is the best choice obviously.  You need to know what value it brings 3 months from now, 6 months from now, etc. Executives must realize the return on investment is not likely to be seen for at least 3 months, but a good strategy should specify when the payoff will be noticeable. 
  • Benefit: All those involved with the strategy should be accountable for delivering on time and on budget. If you are adding to or updating your Telecom technology, you must consider a Telecom Broker. Telecom Brokers specialize in working with all departments to see the whole process through, from start to finish, on time and on budget. They also maintain the system and troubleshoot when necessary. When time and funding is limited, Telecom Brokers are an essential ingredient.
  • Efficiency: Consider the ongoing operational costs into your strategy. Limiting available IT resources will stifle progress and creativity, whereas seeking value in what you want or need is best. Simplifying and consolidating your Telecom technologies is recommended. Again, consulting a Telecom Broker to manage your vendors will save you time and money. 
  • Future: Technology is a crucial aspect in the future of any business. How important it is to you is reflected in the resources you are willing to allocate on your Telecom strategies. An ideal balance exists between meeting functional needs and changes in the future. Many products and services in Telecom are designed to do exactly that.
