HOW TO GET BUDGET APPROVAL FOR THE NETWORK MONITORING YOU NEED

Getting the budget for your alarm monitoring project can be a tough fight. The suits in the front office don't think monitoring is sexy. Executives who are willing to spend millions on the latest unproven technology are often reluctant to invest a few thousand for telemetry that will make their core business operate more efficiently.

To win the budget fight, you need some business-issue ammo. Here's some facts to mention in your budget request:

• The less time you waste on nuisance alarms, checkup site visits and surprise outages, the more cost-effectively your department operates.
• Windshield time creates huge expenses, and only better alarm monitoring can reduce windshield time.
• Detecting and correcting remote site problems early prevents expensive equipment damage.
• Better alarm monitoring increases network uptime, revenue and profitability.

Lower costs and higher profits? Now that's sexy.

Cheers!
