EDC will be one of them. That’s because we’re a company with more than 20 years of experience and thousands of satisfied customers. Our small group of competitors will generally provide similar computer hardware and software to operate the digital directory. But there are some key differences. For instance, the directories generally need to be housed in a secure metal enclosure and engineered for easy access to the equipment for servicing. EDC designs and manufactures its own enclosures using commercial grade stainless steel and aluminum. Some of our competitors take shortcuts in this area due to the higher cost. Please note some other points to look out for when shopping for a directory.

  • Tries to upsell you a host of "entertainment/information” packages you don’t really need or want
  • Tries to sell you an onsite service package upfront to inflate the total sales contract price
  • The vendor does not have a nationwide service team
    • These are just a few points to consider when making a digital directory purchase.
