Connectivity and mobility are the backbone of daily operations for enterprises with multiple locations. But these days, choosing the right provider can feel like comparing apples to an entire orchard. Every carrier promises reliability, flexibility, and great pricing, but the fine print often tells another story.
Your business deserves performance, transparency, and long-term value across every site. Here’s how to evaluate connectivity and mobility providers with clarity.
A Service Level Agreement (SLA) is the single most important measure of a provider’s reliability. It sets the standards for uptime, response times, and issue resolution. The problem? Many SLAs are vague. They’ll guarantee “best effort” uptime or 99.9% availability but leave out what happens when those numbers aren’t met. Without clear escalation procedures and measurable commitments, IT leaders are left without leverage when service falters.
At National Communications Group (NCG), we take a different approach. Our team holds carriers accountable by tracking every SLA metric and escalating directly when performance slips.
It’s tempting to make decisions based on the lowest quote, but contract terms often tell a different story. Some carriers lock customers into rigid, multi-year agreements with hidden fees, auto-renewals, and costly early-termination clauses. Others make it nearly impossible to align renewal dates across multiple sites, forcing IT departments to juggle mismatched timelines and budgets.
NCG ensures transparency from the start. We standardize and co-term contracts across all locations, giving you one renewal date and one predictable pricing model. The result is simpler procurement, fewer surprises, and cleaner accounting across your enterprise.
When managing dozens or hundreds of sites, support quality can make or break your day. Unfortunately, many carriers cycle through account managers so frequently that customers rarely speak to the same person twice. That inconsistency leads to slower resolutions, miscommunication, and mounting frustration.
With NCG, clients work with a dedicated account manager for the life of the relationship. We know your infrastructure, your escalation paths, and your business priorities. When something goes wrong, you call someone who already understands the problem.
Multi-site businesses don’t stand still. They open new locations, upgrade technology, and adapt to changing workforce needs. Your provider should support that evolution, not slow it down with rigid service plans or outdated technology.
NCG helps clients stay future-ready with scalable bandwidth, adaptable mobility options, and integration paths for SD-WAN and 5G solutions. Whether you’re adding a site or shifting to hybrid work, your network expands without unnecessary renegotiation or downtime.
A recognizable brand name doesn’t guarantee a seamless experience. In fact, many enterprise IT teams discover that the quality of service varies dramatically depending on who manages their account. Real success in telecom comes from partnership.
NCG acts as your internal advocate with the carriers you already know and trust, like AT&T. You get the same carrier pricing, but with hands-on project management, proactive audits, and white-glove support that keep every site running at peak performance.
