Why the Telecom Network Is the Foundation of Your Technology Roadmap

Adding the “next big thing” to your technology arsenal doesn’t just make your business look good. Businesses today need to be smart about making technology investments that keep them competitive while staying within budget. As business technology continues to advance, your needs change. Whether it’s time to:

• replace your existing, outdated technology,
• refresh the technology that you have before it becomes obsolete, or
• adopt brand new technology to meet a specific business challenge,

it’s critical to make intelligent decisions that fulfill a technology roadmap that will keep your business flexible and scalable well into the future. What does your telecom network have to do with this? Everything.

The Telecom Network: Can’t Move Forward Without It

Your telecom network is the foundation of your technology roadmap. You need to approach technology investments strategically, not haphazardly, with your telecom network as the priority.

With the right telecom network in place, you can build almost anything to support your business needs, including new applications or services that will help your operations run more smoothly and better meet the needs of your customers.

Your telecom network supports:

• Core business applications. Everything from email to payroll functions and billing software relies on a dependable telecom network.
• Cyber security. Today’s cyber criminals are innovative and can get past traditional security methods such as firewalls. You need a secure telecom network to keep your data and sensitive information protected.
• Internal communications and telephone systems. Your internal communications must function reliably, whether you have one facility or 1,000.
• Modern customer expectations. Amenities such as WiFi and wireless access points for visitors are an expectation of today’s customers, not a perk.

When It’s Time for an Upgrade…

You must consider whether your existing telecom network is doing the job, or if it’s time to invest in technologies that will keep you more competitive in the long run.

The issue faced by many businesses, unfortunately, is finding space in the budget to make these critical investments. If you have technology needs that you can’t fulfill today, a telecom audit is a necessary step toward making your dream technology roadmap a reality.

Auditing your telecom services could save you anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars a month. Those savings can be reallocated to other parts of your budget, bringing the investments you need within reach.
