Digitel Corporation is focused on providing innovative communication and networking solutions from the leaders in technology. Digitel Corporation understands that today’s advanced technologies, when properly planned and deployed are business solutions that reduce costs, increase profitability, and ultimately improve a company’s ability to more effectively serve their customers.
Love it, hate it or call it the gold at the end of your rainbow, email is here to
stay. Over the past two decades, it’s become deeply ingrained in our day-to-
day business communication. It’s basically a requirement. Despite a number
of software advances and changes in the online communication landscape,
email is more important than ever.
This was recently confirmed by a study conducted by Pew Research. They
found that email is indispensable among those who are Internet-connected at
work. These days, that covers a lot of people. In fact, 61% say it plays an
integral role in their job. Additionally, 46% say email access keeps them
more productive (while another 46% say email has no bearing on their
productivity one way or the other). Only 7% say email hurts their
productivity.
In 2014, social media analysts warned that email was on its last legs and that
it would soon be overtaken by other online services. However, as this study
seems to confirm, that is not the case. In fact, in the workplace, it’s very
much the opposite. The Pew study found that social media, including
Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, benefited only about 4% of those in a
connected workplace.
Even among the millennial generation, and those who regularly use social
media networks in their personal lives, it hasn’t been something fully
translatable to the professional environment as a productivity factor. This
doesn’t discount uses for social media in the workplace—as a marketing or
customer outreach tool—but no social media platform has come close to
replacing email as the go-to communication tool.
That doesn’t mean Silicon Valley start-ups aren’t trying. They are always at
work trying to find that next four-leaf clover in online communication,
hoping to develop that so-called “email killer.” So far, nothing has stepped
up that can achieve what email can, particularly for businesses.
For many businesses, it comes right back to the fact that email works. It’s a
proven platform and it remains the business communication “golden child.”
It’s the same reason phones and fax machines aren’t extinct. They serve a
purpose and they help us get things done. That doesn’t stop businesses from
always looking for ways to streamline that process.
Another reason email works: accessibility. Email is used on nearly a
universal level. Social media platforms, while many are incredibly popular,
can’t touch the truly global reach of email. Have you considered how email
impacts your job? Does it keep you productive? Or are you ready to move
on to the Next Big Thing?

Here’s our recommended read
for this month:
The 4-Hour Workweek
by Timothy Ferris
Forget the old concept
of retirement and the
rest of the deferred-life-
plan, there is no need to
wait and every reason
not to. Whether your
dream is escaping the
rat race, experiencing high-end
world travel or just living more and
working less, this book is the blue-
print.
Never Forget A Password Again
With A Password Manager
We all have a number
of passwords for all
the online services we
use. You name it:
banking, online bill
payment, email, social
networks, shopping
and more. You know
it’s incredibly easy to lose track of them all—
unless you are committing one of the greatest
online security offenses by using one password
for everything. One of the best—and most
secure—ways to handle your passwords is with a
password manager.
It’s not uncommon for password managers to get
overlooked when it comes to online security.
There is a lingering—and false—concern that
keeping all of your passwords in one place can
potentially open up all your protected accounts to
intruders if they are able to break into the
password manager. It’s a legitimate concern but
password managers use powerful encryption to
keep your passwords safe. They are specifically
designed to keep you even more secure than you
otherwise would be.
Many password managers—including LastPass,
KeePass and 1Password—do much more than
simply “remember” your passwords. They also
offer password-creation assistance. They will tell
you if a password is too weak or just right. Some
managers offer the option to generate a secure
password for you. Since you don’t need to
remember it, it can be more complex. They are
compatible with a number of platforms and they
are packed with customizable tools to keep you
safe.
With All The Challenges Facing Business Today,
Should I Replace My Company’s Phone System?
Conversations often start with how old is the current system in place. That is a good jumping
in point, but not always the best place to start. The place to start is by asking the following
questions:
1) Is my company moving?
2) Is there support for my current system?
3) How do my customers get in touch with my company?
4) Is my company growing?
5) Is my company consolidating?
6) Are there new phone features I need in my business?
7) How do my employees interface with my customers?
8) What are the company’s future plans?
9) What might my company lose by not making a change?
IS MY COMPANY MOVING? One of the best times to look at a new system is when you are moving. Moving allows you to
investigate a new telephone system and its features. Often, moving an older phone system
costs as much in downtime and labor to remove and then reinstall the current system. Always
look at a new telephone system when you move.
IS THERE SUPPORT FOR MY CURRENT SYSTEM? What if you purchased your phone system in 2003? The last update for my phone system was
2005 and is no longer supported by the manufacturer. It still works and when it occasionally
breaks, I call “Jim” to work on it. Jim retired in 2010 and will come work on the system
when we call. But what happens if Jim is not available? Are you comfortable with the risk
knowing that you might be without your telephones for days?
HOW DO MY CUSTOMERS GET IN TOUCH WITH MY COMPANY? Are your customers dialing one number to reach your main office and are then transferred to
you? You are not at your desk and they get your voice mail. They can now either leave a
voice mail or hang up and dial your cell phone. Or maybe they need customer service so they
hang up and dial yet another phone number. Maybe you have multiple locations, which
number should they call now? Do you really want your customers to have to jump through
this many hoops?
IS MY COMPANY GROWING? Growing companies often need to look at what helps them grow. Growth often demands new
features and services that new telephone systems provide.
IS MY COMPANY CONSOLIDATING? Consolidating offices mean fewer staff to handle your customers. Are calls from a closed
office now ringing at a different office? Do you have seasonal workers that require your
phone system to scale up and down? You need to make sure your office configuration will
work properly with these changes.
ARE THERE NEW PHONE FEATURES I NEED IN MY BUSINESS? Caller ID allows us to see who is calling your company. Do you use a screen pop program
that allows you to interface with your CRM tool so your customer shows on the staff’s (Continued on next page)
computers? When you call out, is your main number being sent out as Caller ID or just a
random number from your rollover lines? Wouldn’t the ability to provide ONE number for
your staff to be reached be good? Are you buying business cards and publishing cell phone
numbers that you don’t own? What happens when an employee leaves your company and
works for one of your competitors. Do they send you a thank you card for publishing their
personal cell phone on your old business cards?
HOW DO MY EMPLOYEES INTERFACE WITH MY CUSTOMERS? Do your customers call one number to be transferred around your company to get to the
person that can help them? Can your customer dial direct to the telephone of your staff?
When your staff dials out, what number does your customers see? What if they make that
call from their cell phone? Are there different departments within your organization that dial
your customers? If a voice mail is left for a staff member, how do they retrieve that
message?
WHAT ARE THE COMPANY’S FUTURE PLANS? Are you planning on growing? Are you planning on staying the same size? Are you looking
at a new location? Are you expanding into a new state?
WHAT MIGHT MY COMPANY LOSE BY NOT MAKING A CHANGE? If you stay the same, you will begin to fall behind your competition. Are you losing
customers because they can’t navigate your telephone system or know what number to call
you back at?
Unfortunately, a lot of companies get suckered into buying an overpriced, complicated
system simply because they didn’t know the right questions to ask. With so many choices it
can be very difficult to make an educated decision without spending days or weeks
researching all of the vendors and options you have.
Digitel is unique in that it offers a variety of solutions for phone systems. By partnering with
Cisco and Avaya and having our on voice-over-ip system called FreedomPipe, we can offer
your business the best solution for your company. When you partner with Digitel, you are
partnering with an industry leader who has proven experience in a wide range of
communication solutions. Digitel has everything your company needs to streamline your
business and stay connected, ensuring your organization is ready to face the future.
If you want to feel better about your current phone system or one you are considering
purchasing or simply want the answers to these questions, give Digitel a call at
(770) 216-4100 and we will supply peace of mind.

If your business hasn’t been the target of malicious intruders or cybercriminals, consider yourself lucky. Hackers are a relentless bunch and they want your gold: information and access they can use to exploit loopholes in your business’s Internet security.
The last few years have been hard on companies all
across the globe. And these cyber-breaches aren’t
going to stop simply because the “damage has been
done.” In the US and Canada, reported incidents
have affected over 215 million consumers and over
7 million small businesses. And that’s only counting
the attacks that authorities have uncovered. For cybercriminals, there is no end game. All too
often, small business owners assume they are outside
the firing line and hackers aren’t interested in them. While the media focuses on
the big cyber-attacks, there are countless other stories playing out at small
businesses everywhere. Cybercriminals are constantly in search of loopholes and
weak security. And, unfortunately, small businesses often have the weakest IT
security. Security industry analysts predict that 2015 won’t be much different from 2014
when it comes to cyber-security. There are going to be more data breaches. It’s just
a matter of where and when. It’s also a matter of being prepared. During the month of March, we are offering local businesses a FREE Cyber-
Security Audit to help uncover loopholes in your company’s online security. At no
cost or obligation, our highly trained team of IT pros will come to your office and
conduct this comprehensive audit. And after we’re done, we’ll prepare a
customized “Report Of Findings” that will reveal specific vulnerabilities and a
Prioritized Plan Of Attack for getting any problems addressed fast. Because of the intense one-on-one time required to deliver these Cyber-Security
Audits, we can only extend this offer to the first seven lucky companies who
request it by March 31st. All you have to do is call our office at 770-216-4100 or
