Business Solutions: MPLS VPN

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is generating a name for itself in the Telecom industry. It is the fastest growing Wide Area Network (WAN) technology, utilized by leading enterprises.  MPLS blends the performance and privacy standards of WAN technologies, such as frame relay, with the flexibility and sensible cost of Internet-based networks.

Big Advantages For Businesses:

  1. Quality of Service (QoS). QoS will ensure the most vital network traffic in your organization, such as Voice over IP (VoIP) and various business applications, are prioritized for the highest level of quality. This capability provides consistent, interruption free network performance and prevents your most critical applications from failing during times of network congestion.
  2. Hassle-free Value. Site-to-Site MPLS VPN service eliminates hassle for the end users. In addition, the team of Telecom Agents at NWMAP are able to provide you with the level of service that cuts costs as well as takes all the pressure off your users and even the IT staff.

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.

Get More For Your Money By Using a Telecom Broker

Not many businesses, in the current economic climate, have extra money to put towards expanding their technology. Even though this single aspect is proven to improve business and the bottom line, they may feel overwhelmed or misguided by the choices and direction technology is headed towards. A Telecom Broker will pinpoint your specific needs and save you money.

What you should look for when choosing a Telecom Broker:  

  • How long the person has been a broker for their current company. Their is a high turnover rate in Telecom sales/agent positions. If a person’s position is completely dependant on the sales than they will be highly motivated to sell you products you don’t need.
  • How long the Telecom Broker has been in the business. In this business, expertise and ongoing relationships with carriers is crucial to saving your business money.
  • Help you consolidate your current phone systems and business Internet/Ethernet. Just as you may save money by bundling your cable and phone bill at home, you can do the same for your business. Don’t just pay the monthly bills, contact a broker to help you find ways to save money by consolidating services.
  • Search for ways to save you money. A Telecom Broker should never convince you to use products that don’t absolutely make sense specifically for your company.
  • Ongoing relationship with you. Telecom Brokers should always be available to meet your needs and answer questions. They should also provide a simple billing system.
