Boosting your Business Opportunity

Boosting your Business Opportunity
with eRate Services

ERate is a vital piece used by schools today to meet their budget demands for
technology. ERate is a federally funded process that must be requested by
application annually.

Just like filing for your income tax each year, some do the simple form, while
others seek the services of professionals that can help them qualify for funding
either they were not aware of or have not been successful in receiving.

By making eRate application services part of your repertoire, you can either
open new doors or expand your opportunity of multiple services for existing
clients.

To often this process is either done by an outside entity who knows nothing
about telephony or illegally by a vendor hoping to bind the sale of service.
