Why Communicate Technology are the broadband speed kings
FAST TECH
When it comes to flexible , agile working , super-fast broadband speeds and round-the-clock connectivity are essential – businesses rely on being able to communicate with their staff and customers remotely but with the same speed and efficiency as they would face-to-face .
Teesside company Communicate Technology PLC is working with businesses and organisations across the area to equip them with the infrastructure and technology they need to implement a hybrid working model .
And , as CEO Tony Snaith points out , the current climate presents a real opportunity for businesses to emerge stronger than ever …
The way we work has changed .
While the coronavirus pandemic forced many businesses to adapt the way they work to ensure they remain operational , it also highlighted that flexible , agile working has real commercial benefits .
Many businesses have reported that productivity levels among their workforce have increased significantly and that staff are more motivated as they combine a working from home and office routine .
In fact , it ’ s likely that many companies will never return to life as we knew it before the coronavirus pandemic , even if the lifting of restrictions in their entirety means they can .
So , with this new hybrid method of working the norm for many businesses , and in an ever-increasing digital world , access to super-fast , fibre broadband is more important than ever .
Communicate , based at Wynyard Business Park , is rapidly establishing itself as one of the country ’ s leading providers of specialist technology solutions , boasting an impressive national portfolio of clients in multi-occupancy commercial properties .
And in the current climate , when businesses are operating between the traditional workplace environment and remote or home working , reliable connectivity is more important than ever .
Tony Snaith , CEO of Communicate , believes business locations that offer a ready-made solution to potential new tenants could see a huge uptake in new tenants – especially where they provide an environment which is relaxing and stimulating , and supports government social distancing guidelines .
He said : “ Many businesses have been forced to look at the way they operate , not just in terms of their office set up but also the communications packages they have in place .
“ During the months of lockdown , we ’ ve worked with many companies that simply weren ’ t happy with their existing set up and sought our expertise to ensure they have access to the infrastructure and technology they need to maintain their existing service levels .
“ We all know how important it is to be able to access super-fast broadband – digital is where it ’ s at and if you don ’ t have the right set up in place , it can be detrimental to your business .”
Tony also believes that there ’ s a real opportunity for landlords to create commercial spaces that lend themselves to flexible , agile working , with the added bonus of being fully serviced , meaning tenants can move straight in without the headache of sorting phonelines and internet providers .
He added : “ The beauty of serviced offices is that everything is taken care of and now more so than ever , that ’ s a real bonus for businesses .
“ Our clients know that by working with us , they ’ re sourcing a reputable provider who can come in , prepare the office space for occupancy and be in and out quickly
