CHALLENGES
Proforce had their communications managed by a major telco, and their IT services looked after by a managed service provider (MSP). They were reliant on an expensive on-premise phone system setup, which lacked the functionality required for their business needs, including call reporting, an integral feature that they identified when discussing their requirements with us.
Importantly, their legacy system was not fit for purpose when it came to transitioning their staff to a work from home setup, critical to business continuity during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Proforce was also looking to reduce their overall telecommunications and IT expenditure, through transitioning to a single provider who could service all their communications and IT needs.
SOLUTION SUMMARY
Arrow’s recommendation was for Proforce to make the transition to a cloud-based 8×8 phone solution. This would tick all the boxes when it came to Proforce’s requirements. Some of the features now available to the business include call handling tools, call management, an easy single admin interface, analytics, and all-in-one work apps that include voice, video, chat, and fax on desktop and mobile devices.
Arrow was also able to offer Proforce a complete managed IT solution that encompasses security, all-in-one business continuity, and IT support.
SOLUTION OUTCOMES
Proforce came to Arrow looking to free themselves from the constraints imposed by an expensive and outdated on-premise phone setup. They needed to migrate to a system that allowed them the agility to adapt to a rapidly changing business environment and the requirement for a remote workforce.The migration to a cloud-based platform opened up access to a wide range of features and applications that provide valuable analytics and insights, allowing for better informed business decisions, and complete transparency concerning staff output.
