Today’s chief information officer and chief technology officer are generally focused on ensuring that the company’s communications and data infrastructure serves core business needs as effectively as possible within tight budget constraints. Companies are looking for efficiencies that can free up resources to help them meet their goals. These needs drive executives to seek ways to reduce their total cost of ownership.       In short, Sprint DSL customers will benefit from:   Management of the WAN from hub to hub Future-proofing through outsourcing part of the network planning and upgrade function to Hi-Tech Greater control and reduced delays by using the network manager Consolidating services and access with Sprint and Sprint DSL Hub.       For large businesses, these factors combine to deliver a savings to total cost of ownership in the network management and personnel category of up to an estimated 15-20% in the short term and up to an estimated 22-27% savings in the long term.       See how your company can benefit from the Sprint DSL:   in the Corporate Office in the Branch Office while Telecommuting      Small Business       In the age of evolving and diverse opportunities, defining the difference between a small business and a large business becomes increasingly difficult.       For our purposes, Sprint DSL information as it applies to small business will be the most appropriate if you have one office, or just a few, and spend less than $25,000 a month on telecommunications.      Large Business In today’s e-business environment, the lines between a large business and a small business have blurred.       Generally speaking, Sprint DSL information for large businesses will be most appropriate if your company has many locations, and spends in excess of $25,000 per month on telecommunications.      By implementing Sprint DSL, businesses will be able to free up both human and capital resources and dedicate these resources to meeting other important goals.      We believe there are a few essentials that must be in place at the core of conducting business successfully in our partnership with Sprint:      Teamwork is essential for a large organization such as Sprint to operate effectively.      Strategic Integration is our method of meeting customer needs. It is essential for us to determine what our customers want, honestly evaluate what we currently provide them and gain insight into any gap between the two. We then work toward closing this gap by improving our key processes.      Continuous Quality Improvement depends on individual and team efforts, since improvement often results from thousands of small efforts and a few breakthroughs.      We also need to continuously improve every aspect of our business. It is not acceptable to rest on a plateau or be merely "good enough." If we stop improving - or even slow down - while our competitors continue to improve, we are essentially falling behind.
