What would You do if You Lost Communications with Your Customers?

by Doug Gray, Vice President HRCT

Have you ever imagined what your business would do if with no telephone, no computer, email or internet? The term “in the old days …” would be your new reality. This real threat to your business’ communications is why Hampton Roads Communication Technologies (HRCT) has been a leader in business communications in Hampton Roads since 1986.

It is our job at HRCT to keep you connected. In the 26 years we’ve been working with local, regional and national businesses, we have come to the rescue many times when telephone and computer systems fail. We have seen the loss in data, hours and productivity. Here are some simple tips we recommend at HRCT to insure your business stays connected and productive.

 

Tips to Keep your Business Connected:

1. Have a service contract for both your telephone and computer systems. This guarantees that your system will run properly and be kept up-to-date with technology.
2. System backups are more than important. They should be at the top of your list. They can help prevent a shutdown of your business’ productivity and save thousands of dollars in potential lost business.
3. Keep up with technology. This doesn’t mean you need a new telephone or computer system. It does mean that you need a reliable expert who can maintain and upgrade your existing system. This same expert can tell you when it is time to make the investment in new hardware and software.
4. Make sure your communication system keeps up with your company’s growth and unique needs. Ask yourself, have you hired more people than you have telephones or extensions? Do you have a sales staff with cell phones and tablets? If the answer is yes, you need to have your communications systems analyzed by a professional.
5. Use professionals who are qualified to work on your communication systems. When your Telephone or IT systems are not working properly, who do you call? Are they reliable? They should be qualified and professional. They should NOT be an employee’s, husband’s brother who knows how to work on computers.
