Companies are always striving to be more competitive, and wireless technology is a tool many businesses are adopting to achieve that end.  Although wireless technology offers companies the potential to improve efficiency and boost the bottom line, implementing the solution can be a difficult task.

A vendor's solution may involve putting together different companies to implement the various pieces of the system. If a company places the responsibility for implementing the system on the shoulders of its IT department, the staff will likely be overburdened. A VAR / Systems Integrator however, can help a company overcome the challenges of implementing wireless and different solution. You can have the best hardware and applications in the world, but if you're not able to execute the solution properly, you will not succeed.

The person who's making the technology decision in the company probably has some risk involved. His job might be on the line. He wants some guarantees and a certain comfort level and that is what a VAR / Systems Integrator can provide.

When looking for a VAR / Systems Integrator, a company should seek a company with a wide range of services. We stress that end users need to find a VAR whose expertise extends well beyond the hardware that will be deployed. A successful VAR should be able to provide consulting services, installation services, project management, and technical support after completing the project !

Finding a VAR that offers comprehensive services is especially important if an end user is considering a multisite project.  A customer will be much happier with one service provider that offers a range of coverage for all locations than choosing several providers to cover the needs of each facility.

By taking advantage of a VAR's consulting services, an end user can carefully analyze a potential solution to see how it can solve an initial problem as well as provide long term financial benefits. A VAR / Systems Integrator can look at a company's business problem and determine how to solve it, instead of first talking about the hardware. That can be a very favorable approach for a customer because VARs / System Integrators do not sell one specific product and try to force it into an application.

In addition to providing a range of services, VARs also should be able to offer end users a variety of products to choose from. A VAR will typically deal with different manufacturers' products,. The VAR should excel in hardware know how, understanding the different hardware models available and how they match up against each other and which ones should be used for each particular business environment.

An end user should also look for a VAR that has been endorsed as a business partner by the vendor. This endorsement by the vendor allows the certified VAR to receive preferential treatment when it comes to pricing, technical support, engineering support, training and other benefits for their projects !

This is what we strive to achieve in Wireless Network Solutions for all of our customers!!
