The selection, implementation and management of your telecommunications system is increasingly complex as voice and data converge. Here are just a few of the areas that must be addressed:
PHONE SYSTEM
The options today are bewildering. Do I buy a hybrid system, an IP PBX or an open architecture system? How do I properly size the system for the least up-front cost but with the ability to grow to meet my future needs?
CONVERGENCE
How do I need to plan for converging my voice infrastructure onto my data network? Voice-enabling a network requires testing, reconfiguration and many times an upgrade infrastructure.
MOBILE & REMOTE WORKERS
Do I have the proper technology in place to serve this growing need? Are communications at the same level as if the employee was in the office?
CARRIER
Do I stay with AT&T or go to a competitor? What type of circuits are the best for my needs?
SECURITY
With the advent of IP PBX'es, security has taken on a whole different meaning. Am I confident that I have the proper security measures in place?
DISASTER PREPAREDNESS
Do I have an appropriate plan? Are my systems all backed up properly, and safeguards taken to assure against catastrophic failure and attendant business loss?

Is there anything I should be doing on a periodic basis to maintain my system?

WHY CREATE A TECHNOLOGY PLAN?
A technology plan is the single most important ingredient to effectively using technology in your organization. The technology planning process will help minimize technology-related crises, use staff time efficiently, and avoid wasting money on equipment and un-needed services. Create a plan to help you think through your priorities in order to use technology in a way that directly furthers your mission.
The phases of establishing a technology plan:
Phase 1: |
Preparation - Develop strategic objectives (Where do you want to be?) |
Phase 2: |
Analyze current environment (Where are you now?) |
Phase 3: |
Formulate strategy (How are you going to get there?) |
Phase 4: |
Plan/Strategy Implementation (Which projects are necessary to carry out strategies?) |
Phase 5: |
Implement Projects (Who should implement each step of the detailed project plans be?) |
