Here is a novel idea for those who want to trim budgets into 2020. Imagine finding a way to reduce your communication expenditures by 20% (or more), without impacting service level.

Then imagine the same reductions with an increase in speeds, increased service levels, and better overall support.

Here is the formula:

Provide similar Internet Service, with fewer limitations for a lower price point – easily at about 20% right out of the gate. Frontier operates directly in each market that we propose services. There are no intermediaries that add additional costs; we don’t have any back-haul charges (for example, a circuit in BC will terminate in BC). Also, we are not subject to any usage charges – which means you are not either

Potentially increase bandwidth for the same price – there are always new offerings, and we can often provide you with greater bandwidth than what you currently have.

Re-Rate telephone lines to reduce the cost of these services – consider that the last time your business ordered phone lines may have been over ten years ago. Your current provider likely has been auto-renewing you ever since. Let Frontier have a fresh look.

Implement SIP Trunks under a ‘CAP and Grow’ Strategy – Our SIP Trunk leverages our full 151 Front VoIP core for Primary or Secondary (Diverse) SIP Trunking. (Consider the use of unique and inexpensive voice services ‘on-demand’)

Reduce long-distance rates, eliminate ‘Plan’ fees – take a look at your LD billing. You may have a low per minute rate, but you also may have a ‘plan’ fee. Also, note the late payment charges. The current #3 phone company has late payment fees as high as 51.5% per annum.

Consolidate FAX lines. Yes, lots of people still use a fax. Implement an online FAX solution at the branch level, which will allow you to eliminate fax machines and associated phone lines—these ad up.

Examine Maintenance Contracts on exiting Voice and Network Equipment for Effectiveness. Solutions like ones from Frontier can eliminate these, saving you thousands per year. Savings such as these would apply to phone systems, network equipment, security policies, and firewalls.

These are just a few ideas, but the most strategic ones.

As always, we are here to help.
