When you choose a vendor for equipment hire, you need to keep some things in mind. Make sure that you choose someone who is reliable and trustworthy. You do not want to land up with outdated and roughed up equipment that you do not like or equipment that makes your office look shoddy.
Laying down the specifications of each and every piece of equipment is important. This should go into the contract that you sign with the equipment hire company. So if you are buying laptops, you need to specify the brand, the processing speed and much more. It is a good idea for the IT specialist to draw up the details based on the input of the people who will need those systems.
The contracts that you draw up should clearly state the terms and conditions with regards to maintenance and service. You need to decide whether the payment for the maintenance shall be made separately or whether it shall be included in the overall contract for equipment hire. This is something that can make a lot of difference to your experience of equipment hire.
I just want to inform everyone to a new web site called VoIP Spear (www.voipspear.com) to measure your QoS. It's the Internet's best and most accessible QoS testing service. It utilizes packet loss, latency, and jitter to calculate a MOS score between 1 (very poor quality) and 5 (excellent quality) for your Internet connection. VoIP Spear runs 24x7x365 so you can always have an idea of what your VoIP QoS is.
