Technology is advancing at such a rate that IT is struggling to stay relevant.
In an enterprise climate where disruption is the norm, businesses live or die by their ability to meet constantly evolving conditions. Those that stay ahead of change — that anticipate it, evolve with it, and even help facilitate it — experience lasting success.
Those that fail to adapt don’t stay afloat.
In recent years, we’ve seen longstanding retail chains crushed by ecommerce, traditional booksellers supplanted by Amazon, and successful entertainment companies sunk by streaming.
In short: Transform or die.

The Edge and SD-WAN
WHAT IS SD-WAN?
Software Defined - Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) is a combination of technologies designed to offer a simpler approach to the WAN. It’s being driven largely by the decreasing cost of bandwidth and the increase in cloud applications that reside outside of the legacy data center. SD-WAN can be deployed over existing WAN connections, whether they are Internet (DIA, broadband, LTE) or private (MPLS, private line), in order to create a secure, private, fully meshed network. It offers simplified management, quicker turnup, better application performance, improved resiliency, and cost savings when compared to traditional approaches.
WHY CONSIDER IT?
- Cost savings vs. expensive private networks
-
Decreasing cost of Internet bandwidth
-
Improved performance for cloud applications
-
Increased resiliency and uptime across the entire network
-
Simplified network management, especially at branch sites
-
Drastically shorter time to deploy new locations
Telephony
WHAT IS UCaaS?
Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) is a delivery model in which PBX (Private Branch Exchange) and collaboration applications and services are outsourced to a third-party provider and delivered over an IP network, typically the public Internet. It’s being driven by growing desire to eliminate onsite hardware that require maintenance contracts and ongoing management costs, as well as a great need for redundancy to mitigate costly outages. It enables a uniform telephony experience for all users, regardless of location, due to the availability of affordable bandwidth.
WHAT IS CCaaS?
Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) is a subset of UCaaS where call and contact center functions and capabilities are delivered as a service and paid for on a monthly subscription model. CCaaS features include inbound and outbound communication channels such as voice, email, web chat and social media integration, as well as robust reporting capabilities to measure agent productivity and schedule forecasting. Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are rapidly becoming a core component of next-generation contact centers to enhance customer service by providing quick answers to FAQ without needing a live agent.
Cloud, as a category, can be summarized as any "X" aaS offering. Whether you're considering Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), Desktop as a Service (DaaS), Backup as a Service (BaaS), or any other "X" aaS, it's all about taking the hardware and software that used to live on premises, and migrating it to the ever-resilient, flexible, and capable Cloud.

-
Incident Response - an organized, forensic approach to investigate and remediate a security breach; can be on-demand or via monthly retainer
Telecom Expense Management
Telecom Expense Management (TEM) involves the analysis of telecom service orders, inventory, bills and disputes, in order to reduce telecom spend. It includes bill auditing and consolidation, for increased visibility (typically in a portal) and contract negotiations. Clients who implement TEM solutions usually save 20-35% annually.
Telecom Management includes a la carte outsourced services across a business's entire telecom lifecycle, from initial orders to ongoing management to contract terms. It applies to circuits, mobile lines, and even cloud services. Telecom Management can include auditing, inventory creation, project management, trouble ticket management, and escalation management.
The ZeroEyes weapons detection platform, founded by and predominantly comprised of SOF veterans, is an artificial intelligence, computer vision software aimed at detecting visible firearms carried by people. The software platform integrates with existing security cameras and associated video management systems. The platform is rapidly deploy-able and can go on prem or in the cloud.
