Great Connections for Spring 2018

GREAT Connections SPRING 2018 3 Our Business Solutions Group is Your One-Stop Shop A re you tired of having to call multiple companies to get help with issues related to your communications technology? There’s a better way—our Business Solutions Group at Great Plains Communications. It’s a single-source provider of consultation, installation and maintenance services for businesses and organiza- tions of all sizes: • Phone Systems – Our team can determine the best phone equipment to meet your specific needs, from key system units to scalable PBX systems. • Wireless Network Solutions – A reliable wireless network for internal and cus- tomer use is essential. We’ll handle design and installation, test your wireless network to ensure it’s fully operational and performing optimally, and provide ongoing maintenance. • Structured Cabling and Wiring Services – We offer turnkey services including unshielded or shielded twisted pair, CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6a, CATV and fiber optic cabling—all backed by a 15-year warranty. • Managed Services and Maintenance Agreements – Whether you purchase or lease your equipment from Great Plains Communications, our managed ser- vices and maintenance agreements provide peace of mind by covering against major outages. Tony Martin, Business Solutions Group Manager, notes, “Our team installs equipment at the customer premise that ties into the service that Great Plains Communications brings up to the building. We’re able to offer a one-stop shop for customers. Customers deal with one company from installation to turn up to maintenance. The Business Solutions Group also helps make equipment installation more seamless since we’re teaming up with coworkers rather than trying to connect with the right people at out- side companies.” Going the extra mile for customers is something the Business Solutions Group does regularly. “Our main goal is to offer superior customer service, so we provide 24/7 support and do whatever it takes to meet customer needs. We’ve all worked evenings and weekends to get systems up and running. We also perform after-hours installa- tions for customers who require little to no downtime during workdays. For example, we recently rewired a courthouse built 100+ years ago, which was a challenge due to the amount of concrete in the building. We scheduled our work carefully to prevent our drilling noise from disturbing their court cases,” says Martin.
