WHY US

As a business, we pride ourselves on being approachable. We add value to each phase of a project- from the product selection through to the installation of the network, discussing plans in advance and offering options throughout the engagement.

We customize designs and select the products best suited to meet the unique requirements of each client. And then, we personalize training to best meet your organization’s needs.

Above all, our reputation and our success can be directly attributed to the fact that we conduct our business the way our clients like to do business, meaning:

• There are no hidden costs for your business. We will either provide our customers with a fixed rate for a specific application, or if a customised installation is required, we will develop a proposal outlining a solution to meet your exact requirements for a fixed price as well.
• We go to great lengths to understand your specific needs and budget and, with these in mind, deliver a reliable network that works best for your business.
• We provide our clients with answers quickly - - no approvals required from corporate head offices.

BOARDWALK METHODOLOGY

At Boardwalk we hear a similar complaint from many of our customers -- technical personnel are stretched to the point of breaking and hiring reliable contractors to alleviate some of the pressure often proves to be a difficult task. The extra time and resources required to manage these independent contractors is often time consuming and frustrating especially when a contract needs to be extended and additional approvals and funding must be sought.

Boardwalk Communications has developed a unique engagement methodology to address such circumstances head on.

Our Practiced Delivery method offers comfort and relief to our clients because:

• Our price is fixed and the deliverable clearly defined
• They can trust the market forces to keep our prices honest and we are incented to manage our own time productively, maintaining very tight control over quality, to ensure we will not have to return to fix something later.
• It provides us with increased resource flexibility and lower sales overhead, which translates into lower cost for our clients.
• Because our networking experts have a fixed deliverable and methodology, we keep getting better every time we repeat the service!

In summary, our clients are able to procure services with fixed deliverables at a fixed cost, which offers well-defined expectations, vastly simplified engagement management and much lower risk.
