The Connected Small & Medium Business (SMB)

Grow Your Business - Not Your IT Department

MegaPath delivers secure broadband access and managed network solutions that enable SMBs to cost- effectively connect their business locations to each other, the Internet, and to their business partners. Over the last ten years, the SMB market has transformed as technology has scaled down to the small and medium sized organizations. Success is no longer just determined on their expertise in a specific market, but how they apply today's technology to their business models. Today's SMB knows that to compete successfully with larger enterprises, as well as similar competitors, they need to differentiate by providing a better customer experience. The adaptation of broadband, e-commerce and public websites have allowed SMBs to deliver new productivity, efficiency and an enhanced customer experience to their business while leveraging their limited human resources.

MegaPath has focused on the SMB and brought to market products and services in a format that can be easily managed by a company with limited IT resources. We have found that SMBs only deploy technology to solve real business problems; faster transactions, cashless transactions or real-time information access for pricing, inventory management, gift/loyalty programs or e-learning. MegaPath augments the SMB's IT staff in building an IP broadband wide area network that can provide the required connectivity and security to handle these applications.

Our company becomes an extension of an SMB's staff. By providing 24/7 help desk and easy to use on-line portals, our SMB customers can easily manage their secure networks like a large enterprise. This allows them to invest their resources and time into growing their business, not an IT department. MegaPath combines the best broadband, VPN and security technologies with unmatched design, deployment, monitoring, management, reporting and support capabilities. We also can reduce the cost and complexity of securely connecting multiple business locations by serving as your single source of contact, managing every aspect of the process so you don't have to.

MegaPath provides products and solutions that are designed to assist the SMB with broadband access, connecting and supporting multiple locations, mobile workers and teleworkers.

The Multi-location SMB

The business challenge. Managing multiple locations without the right tools can be costly and complicated. As companies expand, they must be able to share real-time data, communicate and access corporate applications across locations. In the past, dial-up, frame relay or private line services have proven costly and/or unreliable. And broadband services can be difficult to deploy. The business impact is high costs, security glitches, system downtime and inability to efficiently track business performance across locations.

MegaPath's solution. MegaPath securely and cost-effectively connects multiple business locations to each other and main computing resources. We simplify and manage the whole process - from provisioning and installing reliable Internet access, to deploying, managing and supporting VPN and personal firewall services. Remote business locations get reliable access to centralized applications and data in a secure, protected environment. This powerful solution offers:

Broadband Access - Nationwide broadband Internet access to connect multiple business sites.

Dial Back-Up - Dial back-up service ensures minimal business impact due to unexpected broadband outages.

Site-to-Site VPN - Managed site-to-site VPN service securely connects all locations to your corporate headquarters.

Personal Firewall - Managed firewall service designed to protect both employee PCs and your corporate network from unauthorized entry.

Securely Connect Mobile Workers

The business challenge. A global business environment requires the ability for mobile workers to do business from anywhere at anytime. Without it, a business endures lost productivity, lost revenue and, ultimately, lower profits. Providing this ability internally might lead to high access costs, expensive IT support and security risks. The challenge is to find a secure, reliable and affordable way to connect to corporate resources.

MegaPath's solution. MegaPath provides a solution that economically and securely connects mobile workers to main computing resources. We provide a complete solution including providing redundant global Internet access, and deploying, managing and supporting VPN and personal firewall services.

Remote Access VPN - Managed remote access VPN service that securely connects mobile workers to corporate applications.

Personal Firewall - Managed firewall service with antivirus enforcement that protects the mobile worker's PC and your corporate network from unauthorized entry.

Securely Connect Teleworkers

The business challenge. Industry studies make a strong case for flexible work arrangements like telecommuting. The benefits are many... increased worker productivity, improved morale, less turnover, reduced office space costs, fewer commuters, and so on. But securely and cost-effectively connecting those workers continues to challenge many companies. A challenge that keeps many companies from offering home-based work options.

MegaPath's solution. MegaPath provides a solution that securely and cost-effectively and efficiently connects teleworkers to main computing resources. We simplify the entire process - from provisioning and installing reliable broadband Internet access, to deploying, managing and supporting VPN and personal firewall services. Teleworkers get anytime access to centralized applications and data in a secure, protected environment. This powerful solution offers:

Broadband Access - Nationwide broadband Internet access to connect teleworkers.
