OVERVIEW

This section outlines some of the potential benefits of SDSL for business.

IMPROVED EFFICIENCY, NO TIME WASTED top of page

Many small and medium sized businesses have already recognised the benefits of Internet access but are still using traditional, dial-up services via a telephone modem, with all the delays from repeated dialling-up, logging on and downloading that can make it a slow and frustrating experience. But now that broadband access is available at flat rates, transforming a small business by talking and trading on line, becomes a real option.

ALWAYS ONLINE, IMPROVED CUSTOMER SERVICE top of page

The always on service means you can deliver immediate responses to customers' emailed enquiries and sending them a product catalogue becomes the work of a moment. No more World Wide Wait, you're directly in touch with your customers in real time; and you can just as easily be in touch with your Suppliers, and potential Suppliers too.

INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY, REDUCED COSTS top of page

Research suggests that broadband makes small businesses more productive, saves them money, increases employee satisfaction and is becoming a valuable business tool across a large variety of business functions and processes including sales, costs, productivity and profits. And findings show these benefits are not confined to technically sophisticated or technically driven businesses and indeed can be greatest for low tech organisations. (Fletcher Advisory report, July 2001). This report also suggests that some 40% of all SMEs in the UK will have a broadband connection by 2005.

VARIETY OF COMMUNICATION SERVICES top of page

Broadband can also bring a variety of other online services within easy reach of your business, helping improve your overall efficiency and the value for money you get from your communications services. For example, by using an Applications Service Provider (ASP) company you can better manage the costs and improve the reliability, security and functionality of your business software by leasing it online rather than purchasing outright. Using an ASP's services, your company's security in the face of the all-too-common viruses, worms and Trojan horses sent around the Internet can be vastly enhanced by automatic virus protection software. And the confidentiality of your company's and your customers' transactions and information can be assured by state-of-the-art encryption services.

EFFICIENT HOME WORKING top of page

Whether you work from home full-time or only some of the time, broadband makes the difference. You will no longer need to sit for ages as corporate data files download, all too often crashing your machine whilst failing to arrive complete. With fast, direct access to corporate networks, you can get at your mailbox and intranet, your historic files and records; you can download data and respond to colleagues as quickly and securely as if you were there sitting in the office. With Broadband SDSL, you can be on line and on the phone at the same time and you can choose to use videoconferencing so you can see who you're dealing with and work on projects together. And you still retain all the benefits of working from home - no unnecessary travelling time, hassle and costs and the freedom to organise your own life - while gaining the benefits of full access to your work, your systems and your colleagues.

POWERFUL CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS SOLUTION top of page

Using SDSL technology, the ordinary copper telephone line is turned into a high speed digital connection giving staff - in multiple offices or at home - a high speed connection to your full range of on line information and services.
