Secrets To Choosing Telecom Solutions Providers

By Christopher Wright


Communication is a vital function of every business. One requires enough information exchange power to enable the business to run smoothly. All that at a price that fits into the expense budget. There are too many telecom solutions providers in the market. It can be overwhelming to choose just one. If one has a systems management consultant on hand, they will come in handy in making the decision.

First of all, does the business have a consulting systems expert? If it does, they should involve him or her throughout the whole process of engaging a company. If not, the first step will be to find one. Once this has been achieved, the expert will analyze the current systems. They will find the strengths and inefficiencies. They will find areas that require drastic change and others that only require a bit of an upgrade. This will better inform the decisions made from here onwards.

It also important to review how much the current system costs the business. This will help determine whether the company is getting proportionate value. With a good and effective consultant, the business can save up to 60% on the costs. There are two options when it is discovered that the firm is spending more than it should. The first is attempting to renegotiate the costing terms. The other is to find a company that better fits.

When choosing that new company, ask about their network. What kind of network do they have? Is it converged? A converged network is better as it offers the benefit of economies of scale. It integrates data, voice, and video all on one network. How secure is the network? Are there downtimes? How frequent are they? How quickly are they resolved?

Consider the offerings the company has. Does one get cloud, data, or internet? If not, what else is on the table? How useful is that to the business? What is customer support there? How competent are the support and technical staff tasked with handling issues? Are they patient and efficient? Are they respectful and good communicators? No one wants to deal with rude customer reps when they are frustrated over a problem on their network.

The next thing to consider is the cost. At this point, do not look at the numbers too much but rather the value. The price could be higher but the package on offer could be more valuable than a cheaper priced package. Low cost is not a testament to the quality of service. Think about the effect of the chosen package on the long-term financial status. Will the chosen package effectively help maintain the current market? Will it help venture into new markets?

How advanced is the technology used by the company? How up to date is the hardware? Will they do constant upgrades to the hardware and software? How flexible is the network? Will it be able to handle future business expansions without too much of an issue?

If one finds that there are services in the package they would rather not have, they should be offered a chance to exclude those. One should find out if they can pick out different services to replace those. This freedom allows clients to go for services that suit their needs.
