Managed IT to the Rescue

The average phone hold time is 15 and half minutes. That's long enough for your customer to get frustrated. It's long enough for him to forget why he's calling you. It's long enough for him to take his business somewhere where he feels they'll prioritize him.

Your customer does not want to compete with technology issues. Your employee should never have to face the decision: do I give the customer quality service, or do focus on the glaring IT needs?

You can do BOTH when you hire a team specifically cut out for managed IT work.

How To Make Your Office Greener

The average office worker uses 10,000 sheets of paper per year. That's a crazy amount of paper! How can businesses dramatically reduce paper costs and build a greener office? The answer: document management software. Besides saving money on printing, reducing waste, and increasing efficiency -- you can go paperless and help preserve the environment.
