It’s common knowledge in the communications space that moving towards a unified system is great step in efficiency, regardless of size. When everything works together, users can access people and resources, no matter the location or communication channel, spurring productivity and boosting business processes at an economical cost.

Of course, none of this is possible without knowledgeable staff to help manage the inner workings of complicated systems. This is especially true for a smaller business with limited resources; if you’re not spending your resources wisely, the focus is on your systems and not about actual business productivity.

Relying on vendors who can provide total VoIP systems is advantageous because the IT expenditure is reduced or completely eliminated; with a service provider handling your communications system, there’s reduced downtime, patch management, and infrastructure management, all so you can worry about what you need to worry about, which is running your business to its fullest extent. Going with a provider who can handle it all eliminates one less thing off the decision-making plate.

Behind the service providers are technologies that make it all happen. NetSapiens (News - Alert), a “Smart Network Application People” company, powers the providers that power businesses, from technical training to network design and implementation, as well as client-specific features.

With telephony services like VoIP and other solutions,, businesses have been tasked with other issues such as full support in order to ensure that their systems are always working.

What are some of the challenges for end users? According to Anand Buch of NetSapiens, it’s about finding talent in house to build product and maintain it. Other challenges include finding products that can scale as the company scales. How does NetSapiens help service providers help their customers?
