Small Business

Small businesses are those with the number of employees between 5 and 100. These types of businesses can be characterized by a need for systems that are low-cost, easy to deploy, easy to use, and scalable. These companies face the challenge of managing technology without taking the focus off business.

Medium Business

Medium businesses are those with the number of employees between 100 and 1000. There are over 5,000,000 firms worldwide that are considered medium businesses. These businesses vary greatly when determining the voice, video and data requirements of running a business. The role of technology is changing for this size of business, in that these businesses are increasingly competing in a global economy and require network technology to better connect with customers, suppliers, and customers.
