Today’s office environment is about mobility. To keep up with the world at large you’ve got to be more than fast, you’ve got to be nimble, open to new ideas, and ready to adapt to an ever-changing world. You’ve got to have room to move, to grow, to advance. You don’t want to face the challenges of the 21st Century with a phone system that’s stuck in 1999.
It’s 2015. It’s time to cut the cord.
Network Services Group is proud to announce the next wave in VoIP service that will not only save you money over traditional telephone services, but will also allow you to go full mobile, not just from the office but from anywhere you have a wi-fi signal. With a new generation of smartphones being rolled out that feature cellular and VoIP capabilities side-by-side in the same handset it’s like putting your office in your pocket the next time you hit the road.
Think about it. No more running back and forth to your desk every time the phone rings. Not when your desk phone is sitting in your pocket. No more need to give out your office number and your cell phone number when your office phone is your cell phone.
You don’t even have to be in the office when someone calls the office. You’ll still get the call.
Now that’s what we call mobility.
At Network Services Group, we’re about making your business more productive by harnessing the latest technology and putting it to work for you, just like we’ve done since we started this business in 1989. We’ve seen a log of changes since 1989 and we’re bound to see a lot more in the future. So let’s get started, shall we?

When the internet was in its infancy, computer experts correctly predicted that the technology would revolutionize the workplace, and become a key component of businesses everywhere. They might not have known exactly how the technology would develop, and how businesses would use it, but they definitely understood the power that networks would have to bring people together.
At Network Services Group, we understand that networking is essential to the modern workplace, and we strive to keep all of our clients connected with the most up-to-date technology. Here are a few of the services that we have to offer:
Cloud-based server and exchange hosting
We can set up an email system for your workplace that can be accessed securely on all computers or mobile devices, and guarantee 99.9% uptime. We’ll keep your software up-to-date, and set up a scalable system to accommodate changes in your workforce.
Automated Backup and Disaster recovery
You no longer have to worry about losing data due to weather-related voltage spikes or human error. Your email and files will be backed up hourly to a local system at your office. Your data will also be backed up to redundant offsite locations on a daily basis, and protected with military-grade encryption.
Telephony and VOIP
We work with over 35 telecommunications providers to save you money on your phone bill, and we can set up phone systems that allow you to keep your team connected without being chained to their desks. And with new Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) technology, you can save even more by setting up your telephone system over your internet connection.

It’s difficult to think of any business that doesn’t rely extensively on their computers and telephone systems on a daily basis. Technology has revolutionized the workplace, and the success of most businesses depends on keeping systems online. This is just as true for a small mom and pop boutique as it is for a large high tech company.
Hiring a full-time IT professional is typically beyond the means of most small businesses, and the reality is that tech support often falls on the shoulders of someone in the office who was hired for a completely different job. But the good news is that there is a way to have a full staff of IT professionals available around the clock, for a fraction of the cost of a new employee. It’s called managed IT, and it’s a great way for businesses to collectively share an IT staff, and only pay for the services that they use.
Network Services Group is Arkansas’ leader in managed IT, and we’re here to help you get the services that you need at a price that you can afford. We’ll work with you to determine your IT needs, and will develop a plan to keep your systems running. We can set up cloud-based server and exchange hosting for your email systems, and protect your files and records with redundant off-site backups protected with military-level encryption. We’ll train your staff on how to use the systems, and you’ll have access to telephone help desk (and onsite) support 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Technology has changed a lot since we began providing managed IT in 1989, but our team of professionals works hard to stay on top of the current technology trends. Give us a call at (501)758-6058, and let us put that knowledge to work to find the right IT solution for you!

As a business owner you know the importance of Information Technology in keeping you connected to the world while keeping your data secure from both mishap and misdeed. Not every business can justify keeping a full-time IT department on staff, but that doesn’t mean IT is any less important to them. It just makes budgeting more of a challenge.
Unfortunately, one serious data breach, computer virus infection, or hardware failure can seriously tax the IT budget for many companies, leaving them vulnerable to subsequent events, unable to go through with planned upgrades, or even subject to long delays in planned expansions. Not to mention the havoc that will rain on your world should your data be lost.
Network Services Group (NSG) knows how important your business is and we can help you keep IT costs under control without sacrificing the security of your computer network and the data it contains. Because that data is everything that tells your business it is a business, meaning, if your data doesn’t stay intact you don’t stay in business.
With Managed It Services from NSG you don’t have to go it alone. For a flat monthly fee, we will proactively monitor your network, maintain it, and provide the best IT support in the business.
Plus, our Backups and Disaster Recovery will keep your data secure with on-site backups every hour, offloading it daily to a network of secure, offsite servers, and secured with military-level encryption. That not only means your data is safe from disaster and prying eyes alike, it means you’ll sleep better knowing you’ve got a handle on IT costs as well.
Because we grew up with the Internet, we understand the Information Superhighway, how it functions, what it means to businesses just like yours, and how to keep you in the fast lane and out of the ditch.
Call Network Services Group today at 501-758-6058 or contact us online and sleep better tonight.

It’s no coincidence that global spending on network managed services is projected to grow at annual compounded rate of 11.3 percent over the next five years.
Businesses are looking to outside help for expertise because there is increasingly more at stake. More companies are outsourcing their IT management and maintenance functions. Security threats continue to grow, and technology is becoming increasingly complex.
As a result, the industry is experiencing a dramatic increase in spending, with U.S. revenues associated with managed data services predicted to grow from $34 billion last year to $51 billion in 2017.
Here are some advantages your business can expect when partnering with professionals like Network Data Services:
- While we pride ourselves on being an affordable option for Arkansas’s businesses, we go to great lengths to ensure that there are no surprises when you become our client. Our team works closely with yours to identify the terms of your service agreement based on your specific needs. Unexpected, unbudgeted costs become a thing of the past.
- No provider can guarantee you won’t experience any IT issues – it’s the nature of the beast. But with nearly 20 years in the industry, we can guarantee that any unexpected problems will be fixed as soon as possible. Network Data Services offers a variety of services, including our “One Call Does It All” approach and 24-hour emergency services.
- A robust network managed services plan can complement the work already being done by your staff. If your employees are already stretched thin, many times complex aspects of the network can be handled by your provider.
- Many small businesses rely on one person to take care of all IT issues, and sometimes that employee is not trained for such tasks. While it may seem like a cost-cutting measure, it’s actually costing more money in the long run due to increased downtime.
This is, of course, is not an exhaustive list of how a managed service provider can control costs for your business. Click here to learn more, or call us today at 501-791-7900.
