CIO in mid-sentence, talking to someone on the phone:

... What were our total long distance costs before? Too

much, I know that. So it started out as us trying to get our

costs under control.

Hang on a sec; Diane is pinging me. Talking … to … Dave.

Want … to … join … us? She’s coming.

Hi, Diane. So, like I was just telling Dave, we wanted to

converge our voice and data networks and get IP phones.

The cost savings alone made it an easy decision.

We really needed somebody who could deliver a

completely integrated solution from the get-go, who knew

the networking and the applications, and who understood

our business processes and existing infrastructure.

So they helped us with a communications solution that

actually costs less and does more.

We’re a totally different business today. Just look what it’s

done for our call centers. Reps are providing more

responsive service by instant messaging with each other at

the same time they’re talking to a client on the phone to

resolve the question. Everybody has the ability to find the

person or the information they need at the moment they

need it.

All because we connected with the right company and got

started the right way.
