Technology: How Your Business Can Get More For Less

Majority of companies are avoiding spending money in 2011, and maybe throughout this recession, and focusing on making money. However, the demands for better technology, efficient communication, new customers, and fulfilled prior customers is still at an all-time high. Companies are facing challenges like keeping up with the rapid growth in technology, faster and more reliable communication expectations, expansion and travel, and customers want more for less.  How can you get all this accomplished and not spend unnecessary money or possibly any more than you already are?

In the Telecommunications industry the technology is already there, with an availability for more options and features than ever before.

  • Combining and consolidating. Multiple services like voice, data, and Internet can be combined and costs consolidated to save companies money. A Telecom Broker can assist you with consolidating all your services into one package or one bill, including ongoing maintenance and a Telecom Broker available any time you need one.  
  • Efficiency and reliability. VOIP solutions enable companies to be connected to their customers clearly and directly.
  • Packages and Promotions. Typically a company can get more for less because of various carrier promotions and wholesale pricing NWMAP Telecom Brokers have access to.
  • Current products are designed to be easily integrated into a company’s existing system. NWMAP ensures seamless transitions.
  • Security. Data solutions will keep businesses connected, secure and stable. For example, MPLS Flex provides superior security between multiple locations.  

Unified Communications and Security

We often hear about security issues on our facebook or twitter account, but what about the security and potential risks within your own business. Truth is, it’s not a common topic of discussion unless it’s the foremost concern for a reason (security breach or malfunction) and/or you are designing a new data/information system specific to your business. Either way, a solid plan can only be accomplished if both you and your Telecom Broker are working together to prevent potential risks or keep some from never occurring…again.

If nothing has ever happened, it can give you a false sense of security and just because you have an updated Unified Communications system, doesn’t mean you are protected. There is always some level of risk, but you must decide what is acceptable for your business. Everyone must be on board; Business owner, IT Manager, Telecom decision makers, CIO, and anyone else who might be able to communicate to your Telecom Broker the best Unified Communications plan for your business. Telecom brokers can help you decide who has access to what information, who has limited access, what data is monitored and managed by who.

It is typical for a Telecom Broker to offer you solutions, but you need to offer information about your enterprise’s specific risks and issues. Doing so will put your bsuiness at a lower level of risk. It only takes one time; security issues can wreak havoc on a business. Ask a Telecom Broker at NWMAP about including VoIP and SIP trunking in your network security policies.
