Internet Access
The backbone of your business is reliable communication with your vendors, suppliers, and employees. The Internet helps keep everyone more productive with time saving features like e-mail, remote access, and interaction with business networks. It makes information accessible, just about anytime – from just about anywhere! Internet technologies are helping businesses all over the world with more efficient ways to meet, talk and process information. The Internet can help your business, too.
But which Internet access product is right for your business?
Depending on how your business will use the Internet, Net Solutions can help you select the most cost-effective and productive solution to fit your needs. Before deciding on an Internet access solution, there are a few questions you may want to ask yourself about your business – just so you can be sure to get what you expect from your access connection, and a provider.
Choosing the right product
How big is your business today? What kind of growth does your company anticipate? How many employees? How many locations?
Different Internet access products can accommodate different numbers of users more or less efficiently. Make sure that the technology you choose is sufficient to meet your needs – or grows as your needs change.
How many hours does an average employee at your company spend online each day?
Pricing for some products is based on the amount of time spent online. If your employees need all-day access, be sure to choose a product with unlimited access.
What do the people in your business do while online? E-mail communications? Share, transfer or download files? Arrange meetings? Access databases?
These questions can help determine the amount of bandwidth that will best service your needs. The more intense the online activity, the more bandwidth your business will require.
Do you conduct highly time-sensitive transactions online or provide online services for your customers?
A monitored Internet access product can add extra assurance that your connection is up and running, and may provide service guarantees.
What is your monthly budget for Internet access?
Monthly pricing can range from under $16 to hundreds of dollars, and will depend on factors such as the available bandwidth, service guarantees and usage.
