Cbeyond's Dedicated Business Voice and Internet Service vs. the Shared Cable Connection

Cbeyond is the Dedicated Network that’s Dedicated to You.

Cable companies promise lightning-fast speed for next to nothing. What they don’t tell you is that your Internet access is shared with others, so your speed and voice quality vary depending on the number of users. During peak usage times, your speed suffers and if you need to contact customer support, you have to wait in line with residential users and teenage gamers.

Unlike most providers, Cbeyond offers a guaranteed, dedicated broadband connection so you can stay productive no matter the time of day. As more of your business moves to cloud-based applications, you can’t afford to entrust your Internet access to a provider that offers a shared connection.

Small businesses can reduce IT expenditures with cloud computing

Wed February 27, 8:19 am

Small business owners have turned to new technology as a way to better compete with larger enterprises. Cloud computing has been one of the more popular options, as this affordable and scalable technology can help small businesses keep IT costs down, productivity high and efficiency in an optimal position.

The Los Angeles Times recently reported that many small businesses are procuring cloud hosting services for a variety of corporate functions, such as email and application sharing. Though economic hardships have made matters more difficult for the nation's entrepreneurs, advanced technology has provided small businesses with an opportunity to continue growing.

According to the news provider, cloud services can be used for small business data backup, as well as sharing contacts, calendars and other storage necessities. The source added that cloud computing gives small businesses an opportunity to improve collaboration, productivity and management around all communications.

Cloud computing is expected to become a commodity in the coming years, with some research forecasting the services to reach 100 percent adoption rates in the next decade. Small business owners should consider using these services to adapt to the increasingly mobile market landscape.

Tips for VoIP implementation in small business

Tue February 26, 3:21 pm

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has become one of the most popular small business phone services on the market, as this advanced communications tool is generally more affordable and reliable than traditional land lines. Companies can gain a variety of benefits from procuring and implementing VoIP in the coming years, as some experts believe it will become the new norm.

Resource Nation recently published a blog regarding the best practices associated with VoIP purchasing and set up for small businesses. According to the news provider, the first step is assessing the company's specific communications needs, and then looking for a VoIP service that fits the organization's criteria for a streamlined implementation process.

The source asserted that small businesses should consider purchasing bundle communication solutions that include internet services and VoIP tools. Resource Nation added that executives can also integrate VoIP into other communications strategies, such as mobility initiatives, messaging and more.

VoIP has been cited by many experts as an excellent option for any budding business because of its enhanced call clarity and low operational costs. Owners can capitalize on the technology by coupling it with internet services and other small business solutions.

Blending traditional and novel marketing strategies

Tue February 26, 2:55 pm

Though online marketing for small businesses is much more advanced than traditional methods and continues to evolve rapidly, executives can create consistent advertising strategies with the right level of planning. By maintaining the stronger aspects of brand management and incorporating new strategies, the customer experience will often be enhanced.

Fast Company recently explained that many brands have taken a more traditional approach to online marketing, asserting that the content and images associated with the advertisement have a classic appeal. According to the news provider, new businesses have developed marketing strategies delivered through online platforms that make them appear as a "heritage company," or one that has been around and trusted for a long time.

The source illustrated this strategy by describing certain logos and other brand images that have a vintage appeal, no matter how young the company might be.

Small business owners should consider taking a unique approach to marketing efforts, as consumers are looking for brands that separate from the norm and provide interesting advertisements. Online marketing platforms are excellent options to deliver the content to a targeted, yet large group of potential customers.
