Internet Connectivity

The tricky business of picking the right provider

Selecting an Internet Service Provider (ISP) can be a confusing and difficult process. There are too many options, and too much is at stake for you to make this decision lightly. First you have to understand the convoluted packages and pricing schemes of different ISPs. Then you have to project your company's bandwidth needs out into the future. And of course, the reliability and redundancy of the connection and the quality of the vendor's facilities are paramount concerns. The long-term value and reliability of the various options can be difficult to evaluate.

Helping you navigate the ISP maze

We've worked with all the ISPs in the region, and know their track records for performance and reliability. We combine that knowledge with an understanding of your needs, so we can:

  • Determine your Internet bandwidth requirements, now and in the future
  • Evaluate various connection options
  • Rank the options and analyze their relative strengths and weaknesses
  • Recommend the best Internet connection technology
  • Design multiple connection fail-over and load balancing options
  • Finalize contract negotiations
  • Assist with a smooth cut-over process to the new service

Recommendations you can rely on

Our service includes working closely with you to determine your business requirements for Internet connectivity. This includes calculating Internet access volumes and considering what types of files are being moved. We then talk to the providers and evaluate all the communications options that are currently available for your location. We meet with you to discuss your alternatives and recommend the best solution. We can also participate in the final negotiations with the ISP of your choice to help you obtain the best service contract for your needs. Once you've selected your ISP, we craft an action plan to transition your communications with minimal disruption.
