Data/Network

Tip:
- Make sure you feel you are getting what you are paying for
- Make sure you retain access to your network
Phone
- Provides and services your business phones – across multiple offices when applicable
- Make program changes and necessary updates when requested
- Provide training to employees
Tip:
- Ask yourself – Is your phone system enhancing your business and customer experience? What more could it be doing for you?
Additional Technology
- Printers, credit card machines, alarm system(s), surveillance cameras, and more
Tip:
- Make sure you know who is servicing each of these parts of your business technology
So, you know who your vendors are. This is where office technology becomes more complicated.
- Do you know who you are supposed to call when one part of your technology fails?
- Depending on who you call, you end up getting the run-around and blame game. No one claims responsibility.
Simplify Your Life
The benefit of having a technology service partner (TSP) is that you minimize the vendors you partner with. Phones go down, the internet is slow, computers are acting up – you always know who to contact.
