Investing in managed network solutions is a wise approach to save money over the long run as businesses everywhere manage the cost of doing business.
By entrusting the intricacies of network management to a committed team capable of implementing solutions and responding to issues at the speed required by your customers in today’s digitally-driven world, you can free up your internal team to concentrate on key strategic initiatives and business functions.
However, there are other advantages as well. Continue reading to see the top six reasons that choosing Evolve as your managed network solutions partner can improve the financial performance of your company.
1. Make your network more efficient
When working with just one provider is possible, why deal with multiple ones? It may seem strange, but far too frequently, companies have to pay for and maintain a range of antiquated solutions. This is particularly likely if they run several locations, have recently seen growth, or have engaged in M&A activities. In addition to needless expenses, this can seriously deplete resources since numerous hours are wasted trying to coordinate and comprehend multiple vendors.
At Evolve, we specialise in providing support for businesses with many locations. We also provide a completely managed network solution, which eliminates the need for different suppliers and saves time. We frequently discover that companies are paying for a plethora of solutions that are out of date or ineffective when combined. In the case of the Little Chef brand, which EG Group purchased from Kout Group, we were able to recognise and cut out this complexity in favour of a more straightforward solution.
2. Minimise Downtime
Nothing is worse for a company that interacts with customers than a network outage at prime time, particularly in the hotel or gasoline industries. In the best case scenario, it results in lost sales; in the worst case scenario, it strains ties with customers and pushes them away.
Reducing this dreaded downtime is another way our managed network solutions may significantly improve your bottom line. We offer round-the-clock surveillance and a bilingual help desk that is staffed year-round. This makes it possible to identify problems early and take action before they cause interruptions. We take great pride in providing our customers with an increased level of protection against this expensive problem, as proactive outbound calls account for 90% of our calls.
4. Superior connectivity.
Any business needs a fast and dependable internet connection to run efficiently. Accurate inventory management, rapid and secure payment processing, and efficient supplier and customer communication are all made possible by it. Inaccurate inventory counts, communication problems, and slow or unreliable internet can all have a detrimental effect on client satisfaction and result in lost sales. We don’t care about ISPs and have made significant investments to cultivate strong ties with both Alt Nets and traditional carriers, such BT and TalkTalk in the UK. This implies that wherever complete fibre connectivity is available, we can provide it at the highest level. Unlike MPLS routing via a single connection, our SD-WAN system may route traffic across any available connection based on priority.
To improve speed, efficiency, and stability, our SD-WAN solution also chooses the best route for each business application and destination.
By choosing Evolve as your managed network solutions partner, you can also take advantage of constant improvements to bandwidth capacity and connectivity, as well as 24/7 visibility and connectivity evaluation throughout the whole enterprise.
5. An expert team
Prepared Working with Evolve results in significant cost savings because there is no need to pay for the employment, training, and management of an internal IT team.
Every week, our development staff puts in over 200 hours of development time for our company. As a result, we are able to provide our customers with intelligent answers to their tech problems. Our group has also established important connections with companies like Mako Networks, for which we are the only Platinum Partner worldwide. This indicates that we have a fundamental role in their product design processes and are in a unique position to advance ideas that address issues.
Since we are the professionals, we are trusted to work closely with data centres, which house the most important information for businesses, and to innovate to produce solutions that save money. For instance, the Evolve team discovered while working with an Italian customer that the equipment could not be installed in the third party’s data centre or that the current architecture was unsuitable for typical third-party integration.
It was critical to overcome this setback, and time was of the key. Our brilliant development team was able to create a ground-breaking solution because of their tight collaboration with Mako technology. Evolve was able to overcome the challenges and guarantee that the company continued to receive best-in-class service without having to spend for expensive infrastructure changes by establishing a “virtual Mako” and leveraging the Cloud.
6. Customisation by professionals
Customisation is an additional benefit of managed network systems. It is possible to customise the services to match your unique business requirements as opposed to using a one-size-fits-all strategy. You have the freedom to select the specific services and degree of assistance that best suit your own needs.
We can customise each of our solutions, EvolveISP, EvolveWAN, EvolveODM, and EvolveIT, to fit your needs. We guarantee full transparency when determining which services your company need from us.
Our white-labelled Guest Wi-Fi solution allows you to personalise every step of the customer experience, from making unique promotions to personalised login pages. In addition to saving money on buying and maintaining its own Wi-Fi infrastructure, the company gains access to a highly flexible marketing tool that will increase revenue by fostering client loyalty.
How particular industries might benefit from managed network solutions
Fuel forecourts must change their focus if they want to stay profitable. Fuel used to be the only reason customers visited a forecourt, but now, according to KPMG, it only makes up 50% of sales. The remaining portion goes towards non-fuel goods.
To better understand the demands and behaviours of their customers, petrol forecourt operators must use data insights obtained from solutions such as Guest Wi-Fi. In order to meet customer expectations, managed network solutions offer a high-performing, secure infrastructure that also makes it possible to collect actionable data.
Hospitality businesses that use solutions like Guest Wi-Fi to drive customer loyalty need to stay ahead of the game with robust managed network solutions and plan ahead to avoid data gaps and the lost revenue associated with attacks, as 23% of public Wi-Fi networks have been compromised due to insecure connections.
Our white labelled Guest Wi-Fi solution offers a variety of stylish marketing and customer loyalty features in addition to providing firewall protection, encryption, user authentication, network traffic monitoring, access controls, and frequent software updates to fix security flaws. All of these features add up to ultimate peace of mind.
Managed network solutions give companies with dispersed workforces or locations across several regions the framework and assistance they need to run smoothly. Franchises are able to provide standardised experiences across many locations and areas thanks to their strong relationships and centralised administration.
