Compendium will bring together and distill for you solutions from every Phone, Call Center, IT, Security, Internet and Cloud provider available.

Based upon over 20 years of Telecom and Managed Service experience, Compendium is able to design and broker the best Communications solutions available, to balance cost and technological capability. Sourcing and finding the best technology solutions from one or multiple providers is a major chore for businesses.

Examples of decision factors our clients turn to us for
VOIP: Which advanced VOIP service is the way to go?
Depends on services and features needed, frequency of calling, preference for call quality, need for collaborative tools and many other factors.
Call Center / Contact Center: How much do I really need to spend? Do I need Workforce Optimization software bundled in? Do I need AI call screening?
Depends on how much of your operations you want digitally controlled versus manually controlled.
Internet Services: Is a broadband connection or a dedicated internet connection needed, and what bandwidths/speeds/types are required?
Depends on how integral the internet service is to your business, the frequency of access to the internet, what type of data is being transmitted, how much money your business will lose if/when there is a service problem and many other factors.
Managed IT and Security Services: What does “Managed Service” really mean? Does another company need to configure and make changes on our network? Do we need to purchase network performance software/appliances or have another company provide the services? Should we lease or buy our data and security equipment?
Depends on how much time your staff has, to be responsible for network changes and performance monitoring, how much expertise they have in networking configuration and changes, what certifications your staff has in the required types of equipment and protocols, what your budgetary restrictions are plus many other factors.
Wide Area Network Services: Are private lines or point to point connections needed? Is MPLS needed? Are VPN services needed? What is SD-WAN?
Depends on the critical nature of data transmitted, how many locations on the network, the need for a network to be truly private, whether or not data, voice or other traffic requires separation/segmentation and many other factors.
Cloud Connectivity: Is a public or private cloud needed, and what does that really mean? Do you need to host all or part of your services/applications in the cloud? How accessible does your data need to be?
Depends on the critical nature of data transmitted, legal requirements such as Sarbanes Oxley and HIPAA, the physical security of your headquarters, your budget for computing hardware, whether you and/or your clients need to access different segments of data or applications, and many other factors.
