Traditionally, many businesses are used to dealing with multiple service providers. In many cases companies deal with 2,3,4 or more providers for network, voice, equipment and other technology related services.
There are many benefits of single point of contact service for technology. Time is money and sometimes a few hours can save a business thousands of dollars in potential lost revenue. Many businesses have built long-term relationships with service providers for the above mentioned services. In taking the time to assess a single point of contact provider, be sure to recognize that they offer a top tier level of customer service, support, and overall features that are needed in today’s competitive businesses environment.
There is, however, a significant advantage to relying on a sole provider for all of your telephony needs. Single point of contact providers are, in most cases, fully equipped to handle all of your telecommunications requirements with state-of-the-art handsets and options that will help you maximize productivity.
By having a single point of contact for your telecommunications needs, you streamline the process and, as any business leader knows and understands, the more streamlined the system or process, the more efficient it can operate.
In looking at single point of contact provider be sure to also consider Disaster Recovery (DR). How is this telecommunications provider equipped when the next Super Storm comes through town to assist you in making sure your service stays active? Make sure they can offer your business a Voice Continuity Plan that is a proactive solution for anything that can happen from circuit failure, PBX failure or Natural Disaster. Sole Provider solutions with dedicated service to a client, in most cases, would get an automatic failover DR system in place, meaning peace of mind for the telecom aspect of your business. Pre-planned solutions for voice and data DR will keep you connected to your customer base, which can save you millions of dollars.
When you choose a good sole provider for voice, data and DR, you gain the power of experience, dedication, and a commitment to you and your business.
