In order to serve as a trusted advisor to our clients, we need to stay up to speed with the latest IT trends and solutions. To achieve that, our team of IT experts attends weekly training sessions conducted by various IT solution providers. Based on our extensive experience and sales volume with the suppliers, we receive exclusive, direct and usually in person training from these vendors. Our Tech Talks blog series offers a snapshot of these educational sessions.
If you have multiple providers unified communications as a service (UCaaS), software-defined wide area networking (SD-WAN), and other solutions, managing all of them can get overwhelming. Particularly if your organizations has multiple sites, it’s much more convenient to rely on one vendor for everything and just deal with one bill.
If that sounds good to you, you might want to look into network, collaboration, and communications solutions from Windstream, one of our strategic partners. Representatives from Windstream recently met with our team of expert cloud consultants to discuss their portfolio. Here’s an overview of their most notable offerings and how they can help your business gain and maintain a competitive edge.
