Benefits For Business Users

 

 

Its not the technology that makes Broadband so exciting, it is the opportunities that it opens up: opportunities that make Broadband such a valuable resource in any business.

Broadband can provide improved business process through offsite data back up or developing your business offer and sales  through e-commerce.

 

Listed below are just some of the ways that Broadband can enhance your business and ultimately let you live you life the way you  want to.

 

Economy

• Reduced internet bills - a flat fee structure replaces metered 'pay-as-you-go' usage
• Fewer lines (and service charges) - if you are renting several telephone lines so that you can use data, fax and voice at the same time, the good news is that one broadband connection can carry them all at the same time
• Lower communication bills - broadband encourages greater use of e-mail, which has a much lower unit cost than a standard telephone call or even postage stamp. Voice over IP will allow telephone calls to be made over the internet at no additional cost.
• Reduced travel and courier costs - e-mail, videoconferencing and extranets reduce the need to travel to meetings and / or couriering documents
• Reduced administration - more information can be shared electronically with suppliers and customers, reducing the amount of paperwork and data entry required
• Improved work activity from employees means that they are productive for more hours of the day. For example sales and service support teams do not need to be in the office once a week to do their paperwork as they can do it from home and / or on site.   

Enhanced Communications and Customer Service

• Improved on-line communications - , through the introduction of e-commerce organisations can offer on-line catalogues, process orders more quickly and utmost, provide improved customer service
• Customers can access information on services and your products 24 hours day and order products anytime of day or night
• Clients can review and approve work online.

Improved competitiveness

• Punch above your weight - instant access to e-mail, an integrated website and an extranet can give your business a much more credible appearance and provide parity between your business and larger competitors
• Identify market threats and opportunities - your employees / business will have 24/7 access to web pages, industry bulletins, news reports, and e-mails, to keep you fully updated on industry news that may affect your business
• Retain your customer base and win new business - as more people use the web to source suppliers and products, you can attract new business and build and maintain effective relationships without leaving the office!

Flexible Working

• Using broadband will ensure branch offices and remote employees will be able to communicate effectively and efficiently with the rest of the organisation. Teleworking becomes a reality!
• Reduced emphasis on location - businesses don't need to move to population centres to grow and won't face increased rent and salaries costs

Improved business processes

• Access to outsourced services - you can lease a wide range of services rather than buying in specialist skills or technology
• The flow of information becomes instantaneous sales forces or operatives in the field can upload and access data on the fly

Reduced Frustration levels!

• If you either send or receive large files, broadband is a necessity that your business cannot do without. A broadband connection can carry between 20 and 40 times more information than your standard dial up connection.
• In simple terms your 1MB file will take 4-5 minutes to download with a dial up modem, but a 600Mbps broadband connection will reduce this to approximately 20 seconds.
• No longer will you need to dial up and wait for connection, or lose your connection half way through uploading or downloading a file.
