AS businesses grow, the route to delivering communications to customers, suppliers, partners and staff are changing at an alarming rate. Research undertaken by KC with some of our customers has shown that more businesses are moving towards applications and services delivered via the “cloud” as they face the ever growing demand to slash IT budgets and overhead costs.

By delivering services through the cloud, in simple terms, over the Internet – this in itself produces other challenges which businesses need to address, namely that being the secure delivery of applications in real time, without any hindrance to your customers or users.

Businesses face many daily challenges but some of the most frustrating for any business operating online services is slow connections coupled with poor performance which can lead to a loss of customers as they seek to improve their own efficiencies by searching for goods and placing orders on line with you. If you are unable to offer your suppliers and staff fast, secure and dedicated connectivity you could face a loss of productivity and worse still, a loss of customer orders as they seek to place their business elsewhere.

In order to do this, many businesses are now moving towards installing Internet connections known as Leased Lines which offer a dedicated, non-shared connection to the Internet delivered over fibre. This makes the connection more resilient, faster and guarantees the same upload and download speeds that you need to allow both the customer and user experiences to be positive ones. Due to you removing the frustrations of slow, shared connection speeds often associated with Broadband connections as there are few guarantees available around the numbers of people utilising the connection at any one time.

Internet Leased Lines ensure that you are always available; always communicating in real-time with your customers and staff and can remove inefficiencies which drive down negative business impacts.

KC offer un-contended leased lines that are fully resilient, secure and remove the frustrations of slow, shared connections which can sometimes literally, grind your business to a halt. By partnering with KC, you are partnering with a company who has over 100 years of service delivering communications to businesses in Yorkshire; with teams of engineers and consultants both commercially and technically to deliver your needs each and every day of the year – you don’t stop so neither do we.
