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?

Multiple Telecom Carriers/Vendors Or a Single Carrier?

Good question. The goal is to get the best technology specific to your business’ needs at the lowest cost available. Realistically, this could take a business owner, a CIO or an IT Manager a really long time to research the many Telecom carriers, compare prices, and collaborate with all parties involved.

The solution often times is a middle man, such as a Telecom Broker/Agent and/or at least three vendors to get the necessary technology you require at an affordable price. Working with a Telecom Agent will solve your dilemma of shopping around, comparing prices, and even installing. They have access to numerous reputable carriers they’ve formed alliances with, which means they’ve done the research for you and can assist you with pairing the solution you need to the appropriate vendors’ technologies.  

If you go to each individual vendor, you may not get the choices you want, the technology specific to your needs, or flexibility and affordability. The integration of multiple technologies as well as newer ones with existing ones is best handled by utilizing multiple vendors. It’s not as tricky as it sounds, and if you have a Telecom Agent working with you on this, you can also get one consolidated bill, which is often less than your existing ones.

Another reason multiple vendors is useful is when you begin with a few solutions and want to add more later. The rate of growth and necessity for new technology is different from one business to another, which is why having multiple vendors and/or a Telecom Agent who has access to multiple vendors is a one-size-fits-all plan.
