Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

TWC has transformed the way we handle customer calls. It was important that the new cloud-based telephony system was implemented without any impact on our customers and enabled us to intelligently route calls to our inbound order team. TWC ensured a smooth transition to its leading-edge cloud telephony and call centre solution and provided training to enable us to get the best business result in a short period of time. We needed a solution which didn’t come with a huge price tag.

TWC met all our expectations within budget and on time, and the ongoing relationship with them has been excellent. I am not sure how we managed before the implementation. Additionally, we always had problems with slow internet in our office but TWC resolved that by quickly delivering a resilient 100Mb fibre service. This means we can now operate via cloud based applications and just be all round more efficient as a business.

For what projects/services did your company hire TWC IT Solutions?

IT support & Telephony

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

One of our partners suggested that we contact TWC for a quote.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

We have been using TWC for our global phone systems and fibre internet services for a number of years. They know our business and the needs of our users and offered solutions to cater not only for today’s requirements but something that is scalable for the future. About three years ago, we moved our IT support from another company to TWC, so we have all our support for our infrastructure in one place.

This ensured that TWC could help manage our growing IT needs and again offer solutions for consideration. At no point have TWC ever forced a recommendation or given the ‘Sales’ BS just so we buy a product. In my personal experience, they have only offered reputable, factual advice on options, and the pros and cons of each solution, so I can make an informed decision.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

March 2020, a time that we all won’t forget, our business moved from office to remote within 4 hours, this is where the collaboration and support from TWC moved into an even higher level, and it didn’t stop there.

TWC were there to help with all the challenges that come from working remotely for our staff, internet issues, configuration for security and offering assistance where my workload meant I could not complete some tasks needed TWC was there. This is what a partner for your business should be, one who is assisting, supporting, knows your capabilities, your business and your people.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire TWC IT Solutions?

Our IT hardware and software were outdated so we needed a good upgrade that would help us offer a better customer experience and increase our company's efficiency.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

One of our partners recommended TWC IT Solutions to us. We did our research and despite we had other alternatives which were closer to our location, we decided to move on with TWC since their response time, proposal and history track record persuaded us that they were the right IT company for us.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

The project had 3 phases:

• The audit: TWC did a checkup on our existing IT infrastructure to spot our current situation
• The proposal: Then, by combining our needs and the audit's output, they created two suggested IT strategies for us, which included improvements in our business internet speed, a more secure internal network, a cloud contact centre solution, and a disaster recovery plan. We chose the one that we felt that it was matching our expectations to scale faster.
• The implementation: TWC's team implemented the agreed contract and provided adequate training to our personnel. Our cooperation is still ongoing up to this day.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Richard (their CTO) was managing the project from TWC's side, so he was the key contact for us. Ricardo was coordinating the team of TWC's IT experts. In total, we worked along with 6 different people during the implementation of the project.

• Very quick response times (99% of the times they get back to us within less than an hour).
• Great communication/coordination.
• On-time project delivery, as planned.

TWC changed their termination clauses 3 months after the contract was agreed, from 90 days notice and a rollover of 1 year, to 90 days notice, no earlier than 120 days prior to the end of the contract term, and a rollover of 2 years.  This extremely agressive rollover is prohibitive to a good business relationship.
