USA Voice & Data understands that while Network Administrators must keep their business’ networks up and running, they must also balance the need for extra capacity, redundancy and speed (low latency) with quality, reliability and cost. We provide strategic telecom advisory and brokering services for Network Administrators to meet all these goals, while allowing them to focus their attention where it should be focused – on managing and maintaining their networks and networking equipment.
Managing Telecom, Data Center & Networking Expenses
You were not hired as a Network Administrator because of your Telecom, Data Center and Networking expense management skills. You were hired because of your expertise and experience in the actual management of LANs, WANs, telecom and networking equipment. Networking Administrators recognize that expense management falls outside their core expertise and come to USA Voice & Data when they are tasked with reviewing these costs. We have a proven brokering and expense management capability allowing us to realize between 20% and 40% in savings for over 80% of our clients.
Managing Provider Contracts
Provider Contract Management is typically required every two or three years and as a result most Network Administrators don’t have a lot of contract negotiation and management experience. Contract management is often considered a chore and necessary evil, rather than an opportunity. Leveraging USA Voice & Data’s contract management experience allows Network Administrators to offload this chore and our expertise will turn contract reviews into opportunities to either reduce contract costs or upgrade network services.
Evaluating Upgrade Options
Telecom, Data Center and Networking services continue to evolve at an alarming pace. With the disruptive nature of change and multi-year contracts limiting the flexibility to change, Network Administrators stay focused on the operations of their existing infrastructure. They do not have time for monitoring the marketplace for new developments or improvements in provider services. In contrast, USA Voice & Data is procuring telecom, data center and network services on a daily basis and is able to keep on top of all the latest developments and changes taking place.
When it is time for you to evaluate upgrade options our 150 point requirements checklist can help you accurately identify your upgrade requirements and we can make sure you fully understand the different providers and latest service solutions that can deliver those requirements before making upgrade decisions.
Leveraging External Specialists
Increasingly Networking Administrators are recognizing their core competences and leveraging external specialists to fill in the gaps where they lack a specific subject matter expertise. USA Voice & Data can fill any small gaps in your telecom, data center and network services solutions expertise. We succeed when the Network Administrator succeeds in delivering more reliable, cost effective and upgraded telecom, data center and networking services solutions.
Avoiding Downtime
Businesses rely on their telecom, data center and network services and count on their Networking Administrators to minimize downtime in those services. With more business being completed online or over the phone, this becomes even more essential, and numerous studies have shown not only the high cost of outages, but also that business who lose their telecom and network services for even a couple of days have a high likelihood of going out of business. USA Voice & Data recognizes that providing business continuity is your primary responsibility and we have affordable business continuity solutions which can help you provide guaranteed business continuity, with greater levels of solution redundancy. These business continuity solutions provide backup for your voice, internet and data services in both regular outage and in more extreme disaster scenarios.
