Reaping the Rewards:
It’s a Cinch
XOptions Flex has delivered increased reliability and performance
of Internet communications while reducing the cost and
complexity of all Dora Belt’s telecommunications services.
Monthly cost savings
Moving Internet access, plus all telephone and fax lines to
XOptions Flex, saves Dora Belts $400 per month on telecommunications
costs. The company now pays 3 cents per minute
for long distance to Italy instead of 17 cents.
DeLeon said other savings are realized because his increased
ability to work over the Internet has cut back on the number
of trips he has to take to Italy, eliminating some travel costs.
Increased performance
Increased bandwidth means data moves faster across the
Internet. And that means users no longer waste time with awkward
work-arounds.
“When we send photos or designs through e-mail we notice a
big difference now. We no longer have to split a single e-mail
into multiple e-mails,” DeLeon said. “Nor do we have to send
designs by fax or messenger.”
