While these professionals have different areas of focus, their roles often intersect in the broader context of business operations. Business owners typically consider their attorney and CPA essential to the professional, efficient operation of their business, but often overlook the importance of a telecommunications consultant.
Your telecom infrastructure, systems and plans are the heartbeat of your communications. Without a telecom consultant, there’s a major component of your business that may not be getting the attention it requires – a component with complex moving parts, critical to your business operations, and that often accounts for one of your largest expenses.
