Make the Most of Cloud Technology for Your Business

Not too long ago, NWMAP introduced Cloud Firewall Services (CFS) from Integra Telecom https://nwmap.com/new-from-integra-cloud-firewall-services-cfs . More businesses are becoming interested and utilizing cloud technology. One of the caveats to this is even the IT departments can’t keep up with changing demands of new new products and services so it’s important to take stock of what you have and what you need before embarking on new technological territory. 

Of course the agents at NWMAP can give you free quotes and assess your needs for free. A telecom broker is always a good service to use for something so important as your business’ efficiency and bottom line. They can help a business make a smooth transition to using cloud services. Here are some tips about utilizing cloud technology:

  • Assess the demands cloud technology will place on your current network. For bandwidth concerns it may be wise to contact a Telecom Agent or your provider.
  • Realize that cloud is only as secure and reliable as its connection.
  • For your network’s ability to handle cloud services, you must know your network’s scalability, reliability, redundancy and quality of service (Qos).
  • Consider ethernet or MPLS- it can lower costs.
  • What is your plan with using Cloud based services? Applications?
  • Make an existing overview of how many employees, how much use/transactions, determine busy points of usage. Calculate bytes usage based on this info and determine bandwidth usage.
  • There will be a lot of estimating and guesswork, but a Telecom agent can significantly reduce chances for errors.

Be the Best Telecom Agent

Agents play an important role in getting new information out to potential, and even existing, clients. This is a proactive, push-forward mentality, but it is also rewarding for clients and Agents alike if the process is executed properly.

Connect:

Connect with your client and make communication solutions benefit them. The need for Telecom is still high and Agents can cash in on this opportunity when they truly help clients find the best prices and best solutions- a perfect fit in other words. Basically, a Telecom Agent helps to make sense of Telecom for their customers. They are the missing link. Even after they’ve been signed up, Telecom Agents still need to be very present with their current clients as well as potential ones.

Save them money:

Do your clients and contacts know that Telecom pricing and products have gone down in the last two years? Companies can’t afford not to know about this. For instance, a company can increase broadband speeds often for the same or less than they’re paying now. Bundling is obviously a popular service, but there are numerous ways an Agent can ensure a company can get more for their money.

 Know your Telecom:

Exploring new technology shouldn’t be scary if an Agent is looking out for their clients and knows all the products and best fit services available. Questions need to be answered, training followed up on, so the client feels very comfortable about their Telecom experience.

Future:

Most significantly, Agents can help prepare a company for years down the road and create efficiency within that company that may otherwise be impossible without them. An agent can plan ahead for a company’s future needs, creating systems of technology that can be added to later or updated as needed.

Fiber Networks; High Capacity and Affordability

Why Fiber networks for your business? Fiber optical networks address issues with  increases in bandwidth usage and affordability for today’s competitive business’ needs. This technology provides substantially greater bandwidth  to carry more data while being less effected by interference, and data is transferred digitally. If your business demands high speed and reliable voice and data technology, then a supported fiber network is in your future, if you haven’t already employed this useful technology.

Fiber is the future. Someday in the near future almost all communications will involve fiber optics.  Traditional metal cable and telephone lines are steadily being replaced by fiber networks. In order for a business to thrive, they must have consistent access to data and accountable connectivity to access information constantly. Communications play a key role in business success, whether it be web conferencing or transmission of data, the speed and reliability of fiber networks can’t be beat.

If you haven’t already run into speed, connectivity, interference, or reliability issues with your current LAN or WAN, then it’s still a terrific idea to check out how you can save on overall costs and never have to experience performance issues. NWMAP agents can assist your business with your fiber network needs.
