TELEVERGENCE SOLUTIONS (TSI) SAVES MARKET RESEARCH ASSOCIATION (MRA) CALL CENTER CO-MEMBER 55% ON LONG DISTANCE
AND TOLL FREE AND IMPROVES CALL QUALITY
 
Overview
"Somewhat satisfied" with their current Tier 1 provider, this prospective customer was NOT actively shopping, but did have occasional voice quality issues. They were referred to TSI as the referral source was confident that TSI could substantially lower their outbound usage and access charges. Actual total monthly savings average $5,500.00 (55%).
 
Of all providers who were approached, TSI was the only one who designed a cost effective, custom solution for them.  Service was turned up within a couple of weeks and tested for almost a week before some traffic was moved. Within the first month, the customer moved 100% of their traffic to TSI.  
 
While rates and products are competitive, TSI’s C-Level account management and customer service as a competitive advantage provides customers with direct access to the CTO, CEO and a dedicated Customer Success Manager.  This is the value proposition and solution that is largely responsible for the company's 30 years of success and average length of customer at 14.7 years. 
 
Background
This call center customer performs market research and polling for major national organizations. Although they were testing with another VoIP provider; due to the very poor results using the carrier-provided Cisco 5300, which they had no access to, this was not perceived as a feasible solution.
 
Challenges
The customer’s current access to the provider’s network was via 20+ T-1/PRI circuits. Their monthly spend during peak seasons averaged $10,000.00: approximately $6,000.00 (60%) in usage costs and $4,000.00 (40%) in access charges.
 
Solutions
Replacing the T-1/PRI access with two cost effective, custom-configured Cisco 5400 Routers WITH customer access eliminated the customer’s $4,000.00 (40%) access costs. Their existing 20-50 meg IP access through their LEC provided sufficient bandwidth access.
 
There have been no trouble tickets to date and the customer’s owner and IT leadership consider TSI to be call center experts. In addition to the $4,000.00 (40%) access cost savings, TSI has saved the Customer an additional 25% on their usage costs.
