C-TAP (Current Technology Assurance Program) is a program that
allows Cascade Tel to offer you the ability to fix your telecommunications
costs and stay current with the latest equipment. This allows you to be more productive
and service your customers more efficiently.
- C-TAP is similar to a lease program but it enables you to refresh equipment after
the second year. If you do not take advantage of the refresh option after year five,
you can replace the equipment with a new phone system. This will allow you to take
advantage of the latest applications and integration options, many times at no change
in your monthly payment.
- C-TAP gives you a fixed cost for service, adds, moves, and changes for the duration
of the program. No other vendor can tell you what you will spend over the next five
years to service your telecommunications equipment; Cascade Tel can.
- C-TAP creates a partnership between you and Cascade Tel. We have created
a position in our company called a Customer Advocate. This person's job is to act
on your behalf, keeping you informed about new applications, features, and products
that can increase your ability to service your customers better. Your Customer Advocate
will contact you throughout the year asking for phone bills and other information
to verify you are receiving the services you are paying for and check for errors.
This position is our commitment to service you after the sale.
- C-TAP includes an insurance policy that covers acts of God with no deductible. Your
business cannot survive without phones. If something happens, do you have the time
to get quotes together for the insurance company? Do you want control over the products
you use to run your business? With C-TAP Cascade Tel will get you up and
running. You will have one less thing to worry about and can return to your customers
quickly.
- Cascade Tel has made the commitment to keep our customers on the cutting
edge of technology and to keep them informed. The cost businesses incur to keep
up with technology whether it is computer hardware, software, office machines, or
cell phones are ever present and demanding. With C-TAP you are making a solid investment
in your organization that will keep you current with technology and preserve your
company's capital to invest in your customers.
