Regardless of the size of your business, USA Voice & Data understands that as the CEO or Business Owner, you are focused on maximizing and securing the value of your business. It is important to be able to manage your costs effectively, as well as to fund capital projects necessary for the continued stability and growth of your business.
Increasing Business Valuation
As a CEO you are remunerated based upon the performance of the business and as a Business Owner the valuation of the business directly impacts your personal net worth. Should you ever wish to sell the business, then the performance will also impact your ability to do so.
Improvements to your Bottom Line performance can be made by either increasing sales or reducing operational costs, with the far more effective means being by reducing operational costs (because these savings go directly to the Bottom Line). Furthermore, given that business valuations are based upon multiples of EBITDA (typically six or greater), minimizing your operational costs has an even greater significance and impact for the valuation of your business.
What areas of operational expenses should be your key targets? As more and more business is being done over the internet or over the phone, telecom expenses (already one of the top 10 operational costs for any business,) continue to grow and should certainly be one area you examine. USA Voice & Data's strategic telecom advisory and brokering services allow us to realize between 20% and 40% in operational telecom services cost savings for over 80% of our clients, while also providing new business capabilities and driving employee productivity.
Securing Your Business
The importance of having a well thought out and tested Business Continuity, Risk Management and Disaster Recovery plan is well known. It is critical to the survival of a business that the CEO or Business Owner has contingency plans in place, such that the business is able to continue operating and communicating when unforeseen problems occur. After all, what use is building a successful company if a simple power cut, cable cut or equipment failure would jeopardize that business' ability to survive? The security of a business' data, alongside the ability of a business to communicate at all times (both internally and externally with their clients and vendors,) has become secondary only to the safety of the business' employees. USA Voice & Data provides businesses access to affordable Telecom, Data Center and Networking services solutions which allow them to truly secure their business with multiple levels of redundancy. We have solutions that can provide a business with protection from the smallest outage scenario to the most significant disaster scenario.
Funding Strategic Projects
From time to time CEOs and Business Owners are faced with "must do" strategic projects; projects which cannot continue to sit on the back boiler until budgets are available. At the same time, businesses are finding it harder to find a lease to fund these strategic projects, particularly those requiring upfront capital. USA Voice & Data can help a business free up operating capital to fund projects requiring either an upfront capital investment (such as an IT or Telecom equipment purchase) or for projects with an ongoing operational cost (such as IT outsourcing services.) If the investment is for new IT or Telecom's infrastructure we can actually roll the entire investment in with the newer lower cost Telecom, Data Center and Networking services as an operational expense without an upfront capital down payment.
Focusing Your Resources
The rapid adoption of Outsourcing has shown the importance CEOs and Business Owners are now placing on having their resources focus on their core competence and primary responsibilities. As competition has increased, businesses have been forced to review their core competences and it is increasingly becoming the norm, rather than the exception, to leverage external specialists to fill in gaps where one lacks a specific subject matter expertise. USA Voice & Data can fill any small gaps in your Telecom, Data Center and Network services solutions expertise. We join our clients' teams as their dedicated telecom expert resource and allow the business' employees to focus on their core responsibilities and areas of expertise.
Championing Change
We know change does not happen by chance. Rather it really requires strong leadership to get employees to accept change and adopt new technologies and services. Change management requires expertise and a well planned implementation. If the implementation is not executed smoothly, there is a risk the change will become stalled or even be rejected. CEOs and Business Owners can provide leadership and championing of change, but are likely to require assistance from outside their organization during the implementation of new technologies and services. USA Voice & Data helps business leaders identify, plan and manage the successful implementation of new Telecom, Data Center and Networking services solutions. We can help ensure the success of change initiatives.
