If we are unsuccessful in obtaining a refund or credit for our customer we are not embarrassed to tell a client after completing an audit that we cannot provide value to their organization. Instead, we will compliment your team and their ability to control this expense.

    Telephone audits are based on the carrier’s technical services (both voice and data). We begin at the design of each network service – beginning at the carrier central office and ending at the customer’s premise. We also perform auditing services for other auditing companies. On numerous occasions, we have found billing errors – after telecom audits have been performed. (example: resulting in a $1.6K monthly savings and $50K refund)

A video conference (also known as a video teleconference) is a set of interactive telecommunication technologies which allow two or more locations to interact via two-way video and audio transmissions simultaneously. For a successful video conference to take place, one needs a system that is right for your company and on budget.

Analog phone is the one which is most commonly used at places like restaurants, hotels, hospitals, libraries and many more. These are the most ancient form telephone systems. Analog phone also come as cordless and usually offers reasonable sound quality with minimal interference. Their range is, however, shorter than comparable digital cordless phones and as they operate in the crowded 900MHz radio frequency band means that they are susceptible to interference from domestic appliances, such as microwave ovens, as well as other cordless phones. Analog transmissions are also more easily intercepted than digital transmissions, so security, too, may be an issue. This is the reason why organizations who are very concerned about security don't use these phones. Therefore, new technology coming up everyday, Global communications future is very bright.

    “Rack & Stack” program, Great Lake Cabinets can custom configure a specific server rack platform to meet the needs of a customer at specific sites around the country or around the world. Prior to shipping Great Lakes
    pre-configures product on our floor to be ready for shipment upon need. Those quantities can be as few as 5-10 at any given time or
    as many as 100 or more. In some cases, the configuration consits of only Great Lakes product and accessories. In others, we can install other options such as battery back up or Key board, monitor and mouse accessories in a particular configuration.
    We also can install power strips, and cable management and a series of color-coded patch panels installed in any specific customer requested order. This saves our customers time and money. Our relationship with this customer requires us to have a particular
