There is no specific set of solutions to distinguish between good and mediocre vendors, but businesses should choose wisely from vendors that provide not only the solutions they need today but also the solutions they may need in the future. For example, many businesses rely on providers for common services such as problem tracing, but later need advice on implementing new hardware or help to implement networks for mobile communication devices. A provider whose solution meets the current needs of the business and anticipates future needs is the ideal choice.
