Thursday
How and When to Hire a Consultant
While this session focuses on independent telecommunications consultants, the concepts apply to any organization looking for consulting services. You will learn about different types of consultants, what a consultant can do for their organizations, consulting fees, and how to pick the best match for your organization.

Friday
In Search of Savings and Simplified Managed Services
It’s getting harder and harder to justify paying for on-premise telecom infrastructure. There’s an alternative when capital dollars are scarce: managed and hosted services. But your decision comes down to more than just cost…you must consider the security, disaster recovery and compliance implications, just to name a few of the issues. This session will help you determine when managed or hosted services are your best option through a comprehensive evaluation of the various pros and cons.
