TELEVERGENCE SOLUTIONS SAVES INSIGHTS ASSOCIATION & MARKET RESEARCH CALL CENTER CO-MEMBER 55% ON LONG DISTANCE AND TOLL FREE & 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 Televergence by a referral source who was confident that their outbound usage and access charges could be substantially lowered and quality improved. Actual total monthly savings averaged $5,500.00 (55%).
 
Of all the internet telephony service providers who presented proposals, Televergence was the only prospective vendor who possessed a strong customer base in and in-depth knowledge of the market research vertical and offered a cost effective, custom solution. Testing began within weeks. Shortly thereafter, the customer moved a portion of their traffic to the Televergence network and, based on their happiness with the Televergence onboarding process, cost savings and customer support, resulted in the move of 100% of their traffic within the first month.    
 
While Televergence’s rates and products are competitive, C-Level account management provides their customers with access to senior executives. Customer service as a competitive advantage and a dedicated Customer Success Manager is their unique value proposition that drives the company's 30 years of success and average length of customer of more than 15 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 with 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.
