Unified Communications System Cuts Costs and Achieves Highest Level of Performance – Affant Communication

February 1st, 2012

In today’s harsh economic climate many companies are understaffed, yet a high level of service is demanded, exceeding what is feasible to support. A Unified Communications system that is customized to the specific needs of a business can cut costs while ensuring that the highest level of service is maintained, according to Affant Communication, a leading provider of IT outsourcing, managed services, and network security.

“Being able to deliver value to clients, while maintaining a competitive edge, can be challenging. Our solutions will reduce your operating costs through a well-planned Unified Communications network that in many cases have enabled our clients to improve business operations in a more sustainable way,” said Josh Linn, Director of Engineering .

Affant Communication first carries out a thorough assessment of an organization’s existing network infrastructure. It is decided what equipment can stay, what is costing money, and where appropriate, equipment trade-in programs for qualified solutions are put into action. These factors are taken into account in order to implement a customized Unified Communications solution specific to an organizations needs and expenses, including telephony, staffing, and travel.

Computer, consumer, communications’ becomes ‘wireless, wellness, wearable’

March 24th, 2010

Share

For the past two decades or so, a mantra in the IT industry has been the 3 C’s: computer, consumer, communications.
Let’s throw around a couple of new phrases today that could apply to healthcare. First, there are the 3 W’s (and no, we don’t mean World Wide Web. That’s so 1995): “wireless, wellness, wearable.”
Or, take it to another level and call it W3P3, for “wireless, wellness, wearable” and “preventive, predictive, personalized.”
As much as I’d like to claim these these phrases as my own, I can’t. I credit Mohan Kumar Rajagopal, a researcher at Imperial College London, for the 3 W’s, and Bhupinder Grewal, vice president of IT outsourcing firm Genpact, for W3P3. (Haven’t heard of Genpact? It’s an India-based former General Electric subsidiary that’s got a coveted single-letter ticker symbol, G, on the New York Stock Exchange.)
I picked up these phrases from the Wireless Health Group on LinkedIn, and at least one, the 3 W’s, has been tweeted this morning, so perhaps they’re gaining traction. Obviously, I’m publicizing them here, but I’d like to get your feedback. What do you think of these phrases? Any other suggestions? Does wireless health even need a catchy mantra?
This could be a big opportunity here to influence technology developers for years to come. – Neil

Concierge Communications, a national business communications services consulting company, today announced the addition of DirectPointe to their expanding Managed Services portfolio. Concierge Communications will be DirectPointe’s first master agent and the companies will work together to offer businesses a full suite of IT outsourcing tools and managed IT services to help manage their computing infrastructure in a more efficient and controlled manner.

“We’re excited to add DirectPointe’s products and services to our portfolio along with their nine-year track record,” said Clark Atwood, Vice President of Concierge Communications. “Their managed IT services and data products will complement our success in managed voice services. Companies are looking to do more with less in 2010, and they desire to remove many of the technical management headaches and skyrocketing costs associated with technology. DirectPointe rounds out our service offerings for managed voice and network services and hosted services. Their model allows us to offer managed desktop services, LAN services, virtualization services and much more.”

DirectPointe will support Concierge Communications and its agents with a combined effort through DirectPointe’s sales team.

“DirectPointe has a history of developing strong partnerships by providing quality customer service and convenience,” said Dan Atkinson, VP of Marketing & Alliances. “As a leader in the managed IT services industry, it is important for us to deploy these types of partner programs so we can service customers with unique IT outsourcing needs. We are pleased to have such a prominent and well-respected master agent partner representing DirectPointe. Working closely with Concierge Communications will allow us to promote and provide more holistic outsourced IT solutions to the Concierge dealer network.”

Highlights of the master agent program include generous commissions for the life of the customer, DirectPointe sales and marketing resources, the ability to add new offerings without an upfront investment, and the ability to increase bandwidth needs for existing clients. The true benefit of this master partner relationship is the ability to offer IT services to customers with one reliable source to manage all of their IT needs on a continual basis and for one predictable monthly fee.
