When it comes time for your business to get a new network installed you will need a cabling installer.
You will need them even if you are just repairing your existing network or adding to your existing network as well.
When it comes to your business and who you are going to work with to install your cable network, you want to make sure you hire the right company.
While there are probably a few different companies you could work with, you need to find the one that will fit your business' needs the best.
The best way to start is to really just ask around to other businesses about which cabling installer they used to set up their network.
You could always just open your local phonebook to, but you probably won't find too many of this niche business listed.
You are really better off getting some recommendations from other business people that you trust.
Once you have the names of a few companies from your trusted business associates, it is time to take the next step in your research.
You should probably spend a little time trying to find out what you can about each company online.
Look at their websites and see if you can find a list of customers.
You should also look to see if they have an "about us" section so you can learn more about the company in terms of their philosophies and management.
After you feel as though you have a pretty good idea of each company you should consider bringing each company you're still considering in for a face to face meeting.
You need the opportunity to meet the company representatives so that they can find out more about your needs and so you can get a better feel for them.
During your meeting you should clearly outline what you feel your needs are and what your expectations of their work would be.
You want to have some basic information about your company ready so you can answer their questions too.
Be prepared to discuss the size of your company in terms of customers and employees.
You will also want to be able to accurately discuss the type of technology you are currently using in your business, how many computers, what kind, etc.
You will also want to discuss their services and find out how they think they can help you.
You need to know what sets them apart from their competitors in the market.
You will of course want to get a bid on the job from all the companies you are considering, but you can't let price completely dictate your decision.
The interview is a good way to see if you think you can work with a company on a long project.
