The Medieval Art of Guilds, IT-Style

In days of old, skilled people of all crafts joined together to improve the quality of their lives and their products. These were called guilds, and they're not unlike small businesses of today; a group of like-minded individuals who come together to make the public's lives easier. Your business is no different, and at The Connection, Inc, we understand that.

In medieval times, guilds dotted the landscape of Europe. Merchants, architects, warriors, and even medics; all of these people banded their crafts together to discuss how to best run their trades to benefit the whole. This offered a valuable asset to all parties involved: Collaboration. Without it, they wouldn't figure out how best to run their respective trades.

This spirit of collaboration is still present in today's work environment, as well. The power of many individuals can come together to accomplish great things. At The Connection, Inc, collaboration is the center of our success and we are masters of our own craft; bringing you quality managed service solutions to help you improve your own trades. Some of the services we provide include:

• Voice over Internet Protocol Systems (VoIP): Traditional telephone systems are growing more and more outdated every day, and modern businesses are looking to cut their costs by switching to a virtual phone system, or VoIP.
