The Value of Telecom Agents When Considering The Cloud

Telecom Agents understand the business and they’ve built relationships with vendors so that your buying experience will be that much easier. The important conversation today is all about Cloud computing. And Agent can help you address your questions. It’s no secret the Cloud is something that has benefits for virtually every business. The ONLY downside is the abundance of information out there.

As you can imagine, this can be overwhelming for the average business owner and client. Agents help weed through that for you and with you. Agents realize some clients don’t even want to test the waters but getting the conversation started will help ease the hesitations and ultimately boost both business costs and productivity.

COST:

If clients are thinking about the Cloud only in terms of just one more technology they need to unravel the mystery of, they’re at a significant disadvantage. Agents can open up the world of Cloud to them from the cost savings point of view. The Cloud is a shift in the business and economic models for adapting IT.

Questions to address:

How old is your server?

What would the cost be to replace your server?

How old are the desktop PC’s?

How much would it cost to replace just one of those PC’s?

Do you have IT needs/projects that are too expensive to complete?

PRODUCTIVITY:

Businesses, especially the small- medium (SMB’s), must be seen as competitive as the larger ones since it’s quite possible with e-commerce. The Internet has given SMB’s an advantage and is the perfect place for you to gain that edge. However, behind the scenes must also be on target as well. Telecom Agents work to bridge the gap between behind-the-scene results and client satisfaction.

Questions to address:

Do you have IT needs/projects that are simply too time-consuming to complete?

Do you have employees who work remotely in the field or telecommute?

Is there a system or process in place to restore data quickly?

How is information currently being backed up?

Cloud Computing For Your Business; Getting Beyond The Intimidation

cloudyIn 2015, NWMAP has decided to forgo the whole New Year’s resolution. Our goal began with, and has always been, to help clients achieve success in their own business by giving them the edge they need through Telecom Technology (phone systems, lower bills, marketing tools, Hosted services, etc). One of those avenues is Cloud Computing. AAAAHHHHHH!!!! Cloud Computing!!! Haven’t heard about this in a while, right? We know, it’s plastered everywhere, and now that it is there’s some serious intimidation surrounding this topic. Potential Cloud consumers are missing out because of this intimidation factor. Our goal this year, and always, is to really HELP our clients, help businesses small to large. There’s an abundance of info out there, but how much is truly helpful? It’s only adding to the confusion, the mysterious cloud looming over the Cloud.

Is it secure? From a Telecom Agent’s perspective, we know that a business can increase productivity, availability, and store more info with more benefits all for lower costs. We are excited about Cloud technology. On the forefront right now is security services- they’re awesome and only getting better! 2014 was a perfect year for insight into how businesses are effected by hackers and other security risks. With that in mind, the security technology for the Cloud is on target!

Where do I start, who do I trust? Recently we’ve seen articles stating how businesses have grown confused and complacent over Cloud Computing. We urge them to look into it. Telecom agencies, like NWMAP, provide free quotes and free reviews of your current services and costs. FREE! Those articles stated service providers, sales agents, and vendors aren’t much help and looking into it by yourself as a business owner is intimidating so the solution? A Telecom Agent!

What is the Cloud and how can it benefit me? You may already know all this, but let’s begin again… Everything is Internet today- we pretty much have to accept that to be in business. The Cloud is instant access to that world and utilizes that access as well. Cloud Computing uses a network of remote servers (data centers) hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer. It saves on the cost of hardware and excessive in-house infrastructure that you would normally need to do a fraction of capabilities you would be able to do using Cloud storage. The data centers can manage your info and now protect it better than ever- no time consuming or major IT work involved.

Cloud Technology and The IT Department

If you asked…What has changed the landscape in the last several years of the IT Departments the most? Hands-down, Cloud Technology. It’s changing Telecom and technology in general, but of course IT Departments are usually the day-to-day players here. With an increasing number of employees utilizing mobile devices (BYOD) and increasing capabilities within the Cloud, the game has changed.

The ease and flexibility of Cloud technology is revolutionary- you just can’t beat it. Another factor is reduced spending- get more with the Cloud. Small business can communicate and run their operations as efficiently as a large business would. This is a significant competitive edge. The benefits are numerous as we learn more about how businesses adopt and adapt to Cloud Computing.

Security is typically number one when it comes to an enterprise’s data and communications and this is where the learning curve for IT Departments remains today as they select, maintain, and utilize Cloud technology to its fullest potential. A Cloud Firewall service is very useful if a business feels security could be jeopardized with Cloud service. As much as the technology develops here, the solutions to any caveats will keep pace.

At this point IT Departments should begin preparing for Cloud technology as it becomes the latest trend that’s here to stay for quite some time.
