TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT CORP., HAVING WORKED WITH VIRTUALLY EVERY MAJOR HARDWARE MANUFACTURER, realizes that vendors are not in a position to prepare a plan that contains what they don’t offer - even if that is the best solution for your needs. On the contrary, we are nonbiased. We don’t represent or have a vested interest in any specific products or manufacturer. We are true consultants. There is no hidden agenda for what we recommend - our total allegiance is strictly to you - the client.

Our broad knowledge of available hardware and their capabilities enables us to match and configure them to meet your needs. This depth of working knowledge alone can save you hundreds of hours of research and decrease project timelines. Plus this assures you we won’t waste valuable time considering inappropriate options. In fact, we are under non-disclosure with all major vendors which allows us to know what upcoming solutions/enhancements they have.

At TMC, we comprehensively analyze your organization's technological needs and then design and recommend a fully-customized solution at a cost-efficient price. This process is part of our four phase approach. We make sure when we prepare a Request for Proposal that we have clearly identified the parameters and specifications, so that all of the pricing we receive will be “apples to apples”. When we evaluate the proposals, we take into consideration the impact of the long term costs of maintenance, network and upgrades as well as the up front costs before we make any final determination or recommendation.

What sets us apart from our competition is our meticulous attention to all aspects of the needs analysis design, purchase and implementation of your organization's telecommunications, network, PBX or data systems.

We take every variable into account.

PHASE 1: NEEDS ANALYSIS

•   Current systems inventory and application reviews
•   Peripheral systems inventories and applications reviews
•   Examination and assessment of current procedures and future needs

PHASE 2: REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL

PHASE 3: VENDOR RESPONSES ANALYSIS

Once our process is completely implemented, we follow through to make sure you get what you paid for and that it is truly working for you.
