Connectivity & Communications Upgrade

Slow, unreliable connectivity and disjointed phone systems were holding back daily operations and customer response times.

Professional services

Project Overview

A representative engagement for an office-based team whose connectivity and phone systems had been bought separately over several years, from several providers, with no single owner of performance.

Business Challenge

Staff worked around dropped calls, slow file access and video meetings that failed at the worst moments. Multiple providers were involved, and nobody owned the problem end to end.

Business Needs Identified

  • 1Measured real throughput, latency and packet loss against business need
  • 2Mapped every communication channel customers use to reach the business
  • 3Reviewed existing contracts, terms and renewal dates
  • 4Identified single points of failure with no fallback

Recommended Technology Approach

  • 1Defined connectivity requirements from workload, not from a package
  • 2Compared suitable circuits, failover and unified communications options
  • 3Modelled cost against the current fragmented provider spend
  • 4Coordinated the selected providers through implementation

Solution Provided

  • Business-grade primary circuit with automatic failover
  • Managed network with monitoring and alerting
  • Cloud phone system unifying calls, voicemail and mobile
  • One advisor coordinating providers end to end
