About FCS Membership
FCS is an all-industry association: Membership is open to any organisation which supplies or supports business-grade communications solutions to commercial, public sector or private customers.
As markets converge and new technologies emerge, it matters less and less what technical platform is used to deliver those solutions; more and more that the solutions are the best combination of price, functionality and reliability to meet that particular customer’s needs.
FCS members are the professionals in business-quality communications. It is a condition of membership that companies sign the FCS Code of Conduct for good business practice and commit to trade legally and ethically at all times. FCS itself is committed to abide by the Trade Association Forum’s code of practice for trade association governance.
