Companies shouldn’t choose their business-grade telecommunications services based on the same criteria that individuals use when choosing their residential services. It’s better to invest in expertise than to try to save a few bucks! Rather than chasing short-term bargains, it’s in a company’s best interest to choose solutions adapted to their needs. Here are five powerful strategies to maximize every penny you invest in telecom services.
1. Delegate installation and configuration to experts
Telecom management can become complex when you have to juggle multiple vendors in order to set up and maintain your network infrastructure.
Good to know

By optimizing your operations in this way, you’ll be able to focus your time and energy on growing your business. And in the meantime, rest assured: we'll take care of your technology! With our team by your side, you'll be able to keep up with the quick technology shifts, instead of being at the mercy of outdated technology that struggles to keep up with you.
2. Invest in solutions tailored to your needs
Choose a provider that understands your specific challenges and offers solutions customized to your business needs.
Good to know
By knowing your ecosystem well, we can design services that grow with you, minimize unexpected costs, and maximize the value of your investment.
For example, whether you’re looking for a Business Telephony or a Business-grade Wi-Fi solution, reliability and robustness are essential! Conversely, low-cost solutions, which may seem attractive at first glance, often lead to hidden costs in the form of wasted time, mobilized resources, and technical issues.
3. Re-evaluate your current product portfolio
Good to know
To maximize every dollar invested in telecommunications, it’s important to periodically review your range of services. Which ones meet your current needs? What options could improve your operations or support your future plans?
This introspection may reveal that some services are no longer suitable for your reality. No worries! Videotron Business experts have an advisory role to play: they will support you during this reassessment. They will do everything in their power to keep you focused on what matters most: the success of your business.
For example, you’ll want to put some serious thought into choosing a Business Internet service adapted to the needs of your company. Contrary to popular belief, the speed offered by a telecommunications service provider is not the main factor to consider.
Resilience, on the other hand, is an essential criteria you don’t want to overlook: are you safe from the unfortunate consequences of Internet outages? Internet outages can occur for a number of reasons. And more often than not, your telecommunications service provider has absolutely nothing to do with it! Think a tree branch falling on electrical wires, for example...
There's nothing worse than being deprived of a reliable connection at an inopportune time. In addition to their exorbitant cost, outages can have their share of negative consequences for your business. The repercussions of a service interruption are much more numerous and expensive to assume than anticipating problems before they occur. Wireless backup, which allows you to automatically switch from a wired connection to a mobile connection, is one of the solutions you might want to consider.
4. Carefully look over your agreement
A well-informed company can make sound decisions and thus avoid unnecessary costs. It’s also in your best interest to build a lasting partnership with a supplier that respects its commitments. All businesses operate in an environment where every dollar counts, and where a wrong business decision could potentially limit an organization's future financial flexibility.
Good to know
By taking the time to read your agreements carefully, you can make sure you understand what you’re actually paying for. Of course, you want to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
So, opt for a transparent provider, one that offers clear terms and price stability. Not only will this grant you peace of mind, but it’ll allow you to focus on the true goals of your business plan.
5. Group your services with a single provider
By evaluating all the options available, you might determine that your current telecom solutions are perfectly aligned with your business objectives. But if this isn’t the case, it might be time to consider a change: afterall, investing in technologies that support your growth can lead to increased productivity and profitability.
Partnering with a single provider, such as Videotron Business, has several advantages. Grouping your services with a single provider is sure to strengthen your IT environment. How? Simply because this approach makes integration, upgrades, and troubleshooting easier, while reducing the risk of downtime.
Good to know
A single point of contact is then all it takes to get support, regardless of the service involved. With a centralized solution, you gain in efficiency and benefit from support adapted to your needs.
If you're looking to optimize your telecommunications while supporting your business growth, Videotron Business is the technology partner that simplifies your life. Because every dollar invested in your telecommunications services should work for you!
