Data Line Contracts that Meet Your Business Needs
We work with a range of suppliers therefore we’re able to assure you that your business will get exactly what you need on the best terms.
Following our expert analysis, we’ll then assess suppliers to find the best fit for your needs. We do that by factoring the following:
- The resilience of their network
- Uptime guarantees
- The extent of the supplier’s own network
- The distance to their point of presence from each of your locations.
- Service level agreements
- Customer service arrangements – call centre, small team, or account manager
- Whether fault-reporting calls are handled within the UK or offshore
- Whether these calls are chargeable or not
- The real cost of the service – installation costs, equipment, contract lock-in time, monthly charges and the rest. As mentioned… we know this industry
We understand the technology of data lines and not everyone else does.
Once we do our analysis of your data line needs, match those to suitable suppliers… we’ll explain to you your technical needs and the service level agreements, which are often too complex for you to understand exactly what you’re paying for.
We guarantee never to present an option that increases your risk.
And we’ll give you a bullet-point precis of the suggested contract. Anything you don’t understand, we’ll take the time to explain things so you do know what’s what before agreeing to anything.
