Implementing New Technology In Your Business

The continuous growth of new technology available for the workplace presents an atmosphere of rapid change that will not slow down any time soon in the near future. Numerous businesses have experienced the process of implementing new technologies and the various issues that creep up, from an overall lack of employee acceptance to unexpected minor malfunctions. The caveat is, despite some of the nuances, new technologies are necessary for a business to remain competitive, relevant, and increase profit margins.

The proper and efficient use of new technology in the workplace is crucial. The younger generations beginning to enter the workforce are tech savvy and widely accept the evolving nature of technology, but all employees need to be on board for a technological implementation to be successful and beneficial. One way of doing this is to provide plenty of training, specific for various departments if necessary, and during and after training to disperse an employee evaluations survey of how effective the training is and thoughts about the new implementations.

When implementing new technology, you require as many people on your team as possible. Technical difficulties can be avoided if you have a team or Agent to work with you during the implementations process. For instance, NWMAP offers the services of their Telecom Brokers to assist from beginning to end; shop for a low cost specific plan for your business, have the experience to know what to troubleshoot and how to move the installation along, provide moving services for successful transfer of technologies, and consulting with on-site visits to help you make choices without resorting to confusing technical jargon.

How To Attract The Next Generation Workforce To Your Business

IT leaders have known for years the value and benefit of efficient and new technologies for businesses.

  • Being able to share information, globally if necessary.
  • Improve customer service
  • Increase productivity
  • Cut costs in several departments
  • Reduce carbon footprint
  • Reduce absenteeism
  • Business runs more efficiently
  • Improve communications

An additional benefit is attracting the new generations in the workforce to your business. These employees are tech savvy and greatly appreciate new and efficient technology. They work well in groups, requiring the appropriate technology to keep them connected. Video conferencing, virtual teams, telecommuting, email/voicemail technologies, and wireless devices attract the next generation who have the capabilities to transform your business.

Implementing  a new system or new technologies can require employee training and ongoing assurance of company-wide acceptance. The benefit of attracting the next generation workforce is adding an addition to your company that embraces new technologies. It opens a door to opportunities for companies and employees with various work arrangements, whether employees travel or work from home occasionally.

The benefits far outweigh any hesitation a business may have about implementing new technology. Often times, businesses are astonished by the money they save. Telecom Brokers at NWMAP save their clients money by having access to over 40 carriers in the Telecom business, negotiating prices with those carriers, and searching for specific packages that benefit the client’s business specifically. New technology should always benefit a business.

Stay Connected; History and Future of Telecom

Historically, staying connected meant consistent use of stamps and waiting the entire day for an important call. Remember phone tag? Currently, staying connected is a business’ lifeline- the difference between success and failure. An ability to stay connected efficiently is even more crucial.

Everyone is staying personally connected through technologies like Facebook status updates and Twitter. Why shouldn’t a business expect the same instant gratificaion in their communications? That kind of technology is available and a business would see the most benefit with bundled deals, keeping their cost low and their connectivity high.

Today’s businesses should expect technology to surpass their demands, deliver instant connectivity, with less burden to their budget and spending allowances. In addition, Telecom Brokers come into the mix to make the search easier- to connect a business with a carrier’s plan or product that suits them specifically and optimally. If you have questions or issues down the road, Telecom Brokers stay connected and are there for you almost instantly to get you back on track.

Imagine productive, enjoyable, and personable business exchanges made easy and affordable. No more waiting, guessing, missing calls and clients. Business Ethernet, voiceover IP, and video conferencing capabilities are a few technologies that businesses can expect to be the norm, now and into the future.
