| December 01, 2008 | | iTechnology Design provides voice and data network design and audit. | As a manager or owner of a business, when was the last time you took the time to thoroughly review all the communications services in use at your company. In most small businesses, services are added, changes in the business occur, more services are added. Occasionally elements are disconnected or changed when something is clearly not needed, but the entire communications setup of the business is usually never fully evaluated and almost never shopped with the competition.
For some businesses, telecom services are a large expense, and in most cases the business is paying too much for those services either in terms of unused features, redundant services, or even dormant connections that the business has forgot about.
As an example, there are many businesses today paying for service packages on telephone lines that are connected to phone systems that cannot use those services. There are office DSL lines running idle because the business upgraded 2 years ago to a T-1 and forgot to disconnect the DSL. There are business DSL lines at $250/month that were setup 5 years ago but the pricing has been dropped to $39/month. Or my personal favorite, users that have phone lines for modems, but no longer have the modem they used 10 years ago to dial the internet, yet the company is still paying $40-$50/month for that connection.
I think you get the picture. It all adds up to unnecessary expenses that could be eliminated if the owner or manager understood what they did or did not need to run their business.
One of the services iTechnology Design provides is a through review of all voice and data services to optimize the telecom services your business uses.
Our approach is simple:
- 1.) Understand what the business requires.
- 2.) Review everything the business is spending money on relating to communications services.
- 3.) Look for ways to optimize the telecom infrastructure to do more with less.
- 4.) Determine what unused and unneeded services can be eliminated.
- 5.) Source what is required at the lowest possible cost.
Whether you do this yourself, or hire others to do this for you the steps are the same. This type of review should be done yearly as to take advantage of the ever decreasing costs of communications.
