need to invest in new technology. Our administrative staff at KBS Constructors enjoys
the peace of mind of knowing they can call Networks Plus for IT assistance when I am
out of the office. That kind of support backup is comforting to our staff. It also gives me
peace of mind to have a partner in place. I know they have my back.”
Building Valuable Relationships
He adds, “I rely on the expertise and knowledge of my associates at Networks Plus to
help me keep pace with emerging technology within our budget. We periodically sit
down to review our current technology and make plans for future upgrades. This helps
me create realistic budgets for coming years and gives me the confidence to take advan-
tage of industry trends when it makes the most sense for our firm.”
Since Bramlage joined KBS Constructors, the company has continued to enhance and
add services to its systems. It has doubled the number of users and seamlessly moved
from a Novel environment to Microsoft Windows, including incremental server upgrades
along the way.
“As a one-man shop, this would not have been possible without help from Networks
Plus. We expanded our environment to three in-house servers in order to provide pro-
ductivity increases. Now we’re contemplating moving some of our server functions to
the cloud and reducing our physical servers on site,” Bramlage explains.
What does Bramlage appreciate most about working with Networks Plus? He replies,
“Over the years, I’ve grown to really value the working relationships I’ve had with
our System Administrators from Networks Plus. I look forward to the monthly system
checkups and discussions about industry trends and predictions. We share a common
language. It’s invigorating to hear their perspectives and experiences with technology
that I might be considering.”
Two Companies, One Contact
The recently created relationship between Networks Plus and Blue Valley Tele-Commu-
nications is already benefiting KBS Constructors. He says, “We’re currently planning to
implement office-to-office voice and video communications based on Microsoft’s Office
360 with Skype for Business. To do this, we’ll move from our aging PBX systems to a
Voice over IP (VoIP) system. The added voice communications expertise of Blue Valley
Tele-Communications gives me additional confidence as we move toward more inte-
grated communications. I’ll continue to work with a single contact at Networks Plus to
develop and implement these changes, so while it will be a big project, I’m confident
that it will be a smooth transition.”
I rely on the expertise and knowledge of my associates
at Networks Plus to help me keep pace with emerging
technology within our budget.”
