IP Networking to Help Businesses Evolve

Small and medium enterprise businesses (SMB/e) are vital to the global economy as their ability to innovate and expand technology spending is unstoppable. The ability to scale, handle security, be self-sufficient, handle social media, sync with other systems, and evolve features over time on an as-needed basis are core to this segment and its ability to compete.

However, SMB/e remain cautious about migrating to managed service providers for fear of a loss of control, visibility, and flexibility when using tools, services, and technology. Solution options can be too expensive or lack market focus because providers try to shoehorn Enterprise solutions for the SMB/e.

The ICC Networking solution does not trade value, cost, and features when addressing the requirements of the SMB/e customer. The icXchange® solution enables businesses to start small with high performance and few features and expand options without expanding budgets. It addresses each SMB/e concern brought on by the shifts in use of data and information, Cloud as an evolving architecture, and user engagement as content needing better understanding. ICC Networking’s approved White Glove Service partners follow through on advanced training designed to complement customer technology objectives, policies, and procedures.
