In fact, it has been confirmed that 50% of small businesses with 20 to 99 employees say their biggest IT challenge is the integration of different applications and systems.1 Most businesses today face overwhelming odds when it comes to keeping their operational cost down and their revenues up. Your telecom system should help the business grow versus being a burden or just another necessity.

Regardless if you are running a company out of your living room or a skyscraper, telecommunications and internet will definitely play a key role in achieving any degree of success. GCEC Telecom works with companies of all sizes, and we recognize the importance of understanding your business. Did you know that two out of three small business owners believe that technology gives them a competitive edge, and likely those same two businesses are the ones that have outgrown their living rooms? In 2009, 75% of all U.S. corporate phone systems were using VoIP connects.2 This technology has truly revolutionized the business world and the cost efficiencies for IP business communication systems have made it even easier to put these powerful IP telephony tools to work in your small business, enterprise branch, or retail locations.

It's very simple. If you own or manage a business and have a particular topic that you feel might bring invaluable insight to solving a business problem, just send your requests to us. Contact us and provide us with the challenge. We evaluate these requests on a weekly basis and will post the subjects on our Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter pages to allow our followers to weigh in on the topic. If there is a high degree of interests (response rate), then we will post an open invitation to have an online "Twitter Party" where your challenge will be the subject.
