AddressTwo is a Lifesaver!
February 5, 2017 by Bill Wyatt
I was working at a customer's office when AddressTwo saved my life.
We had been working in the owner's office when I set my phone on his desk and forgot it. When I went to lunch, I didn't think much of it except that I wasn't receiving many phone calls. As the owner of Wyatt Communications, my phone is usually busy. When we got back, I realized the doors to the office were locked. That wouldn't have been a big deal if my phone (with the contact's number in it) hadn't been sitting on his desk. Normally this would be a drive back to the office to get the contact's information to let him know that we were locked out.
Luckily I wasn't the only one working there. My son (Chris) was there helping me that day. Although his phone doesn't have the contact information that mine does, it does have internet. From there I was able to access AddressTwo's website...

The Purchase Price Verses the Cost of Ownership
When buying technology the question that is never asked is: What is the cost of ownership? When looking at a cash proposal, what you are seeing is the purchase price of the equipment and software. It is only after you own it that the true cost is realized.
Maintenance, upgrades, software license, break and fix, and program changes are costs after the purchase to keep technology working for you.
Every time a technician comes into your business money goes out...

Why Call 3 Companies to Fix 1 Problem?
It's 9:00am Monday morning, one of your employees walks into your office with a frantic look on her face. You hold your finger up and motion to her to "hold on a second" as you pick up the phone to make the most important call of the day. There's no dial tone. You open up your email to find out what's going on and your internet is down. Just when matters can't get any worse your computer screen turns blue with an error message that says "fatal error." You look up and ten of your employees are experiencing the same issues. In the past, you would've had to call the phone company, your internet provider and your IT consultant in order to get your business back up and running.
Now you can solve all three problems with one call to your unified communications provider...
