We all love to move, right? Right??

Uprooting people, systems, wiring and networks while trying to keep business flow uninterrupted sits high on everyone’s priority list, doesn’t it?

Are you taking meetings on a Unified Communications System? Are you confused and/or overwhelmed? It’s understandable; things seem to have gotten complicated. You could potentially be dealing with a Carrier Services Vendor, a Cable Vendor, a Network Hardware Vendor, a Phone System Vendor, a Software Applications Vendor and maybe even a Web Vendor.  If you’re like most of us, you probably have neither the time nor the expertise to deal with all these moving parts. This is where the difference between a good project manager and a Great Project Manager can be seen; the latter will handle all of these important pieces for you with ease.

..and we don’t mean just in a cool way, we mean temperature hot too! The team just got back from the Avaya Executive Conference in Cancun and it was all kinds of hot, both in the conference center and outside.

In the competitive market that is telecommunications, consumers and businesses have a breadth of provider choices unlike anything seen before.

Going Green isn’t just a fad here at Call One, it’s a mission. One that we can proudly say we’ve been working towards since our early inception. We started with the little things, like setting up recycling containers around the office, and re-programming our printers to copy two-sided documents instead of one. We even stopped ordering paper products like disposable plates, and plastic wares like cutlery, all in the hopes of eliminating excessive waste, and protecting our eco-system.

Perception is reality – we’ve all heard the phrase before. Right, wrong, or indifferent, perception is reality. Perception can create good will and positivity in a client/vendor partnership as well as facilitate growth in relationships, and be the catalyst for success. Yet other times, perception can taint experiences, it can strain relationships, and it can destroy partnerships. If left unchecked, false perceptions can be the bane of an organization’s existence. So what do you do about perception if it’s negative? Do nothing – leave it alone and let it fester? No. The answer, simply put, is to manage perception.
