As the general manager and chief operating officer of Evolve
IP LLC, Guy Fardone makes the technological needs of other companies the focus
of his business.
His 55-employee communication service solutions company, is
based in the Philadelphia area, has assisted many different clients in building
telephone and Internet solutions that meet their specific needs as a business.
Fardone says you need to look at a number of factors when
deciding what type of communication system you need for your business and when
it might be time to look at upgrades.
The evolution of your business is chief among the reasons to
upgrade your communication infrastructure. If you’re going to branch into a new
market or attempt to improve efficiency, you’re going to need the communication
platform to get you there.
“There are a couple of different times to look at doing an
upgrade,” Fardone says. “Among them, when you’re moving, expanding or looking
to deploy new types of technology to achieve a desired purpose. It could be
about increasing productivity, doing things faster or better, or if you’re
looking to downsize your IT staff or redeploy the staff.
“Right now, a lot of companies are redeploying their IT
staffs. It’s one of the biggest things we’re seeing. Have them outsource the
mundane, day-to-day stuff and redeploy them into a more strategic niche, such
as revenue generation or cost reduction.”
