Did You Know?


What's the biggest mistake companies make when seeking advice?

..that most companies you ask for advice have vested interests. Essentially a telecommunications consultant does the same work a good technical consultant with a carrier does, except that they are not bound to offer you just the plans from the one carrier. Clients need information from independent organisations that do not have an incentive to paint their own picture both positive and negative, on the state of the infrastructure they either manage or utilise

What will I get from a Telecommunications Audit?

Audits determine your overall network design as well as the actual configurations. We then compare for best practices and report our findings to you. Additionally, we can outline an approach or recommendations for resolving any issues found during the audit. Our clients are provided with deliverables on the specific audit items and the outcomes of each audit.

I don't understand the technical jargon...

Audits typically lead to a readiness assessment with a "score-card" approach to reviewing your infrastructure for readiness of implementation of various technologies, including wireless, IP telephony and security. For each area that is assessed a score card is built based on required and best practice criteria for implementation of the technology. These score cards then outline the areas where our clients are ready and not ready for a targeted technology. These assessments can include not only the actual equipment but also the people and process that are involved in implementing specific technologies. ComsWeb readiness assessments help organizations identify where they need to invest in their infrastructure or organization and how to budget and prepare for a new technology.
