After nearly 20 years at its current location in downtown NYC, a private New York firm planned to move its corporate headquarters to allow for business growth. The company identified an office space in a historic landmark building in midtown Manhattan. Outside the physical move, executive leadership decided it would be timely to obtain a financial assessment of existing telecom services and a cost analysis for upgrading the network. The client required assistance with the telecommunications migration and a related financial review.
Result: An audit was conducted to benchmark all existing voice and data costs at the client’s current headquarters. On a parallel track, three solutions were designed to meet the client’s voice and data telecom needs. Each solution was documented and presented to the client’s executive leadership team for final decision and sign-off. On approval, a strategic plan was developed for service delivery of the new voice and data solution. This included hardware, station equipment, cabling, network configuration, business continuity planning, porting, VPN, and specialized remote connectivity activities. All actions were executed seamlessly, and the project was completed ahead of schedule. A financial true up was conducted to verify that all old services had been disconnected and the new services were being billed accurately. The technology migration and transformation eliminated costly traditional services while reducing monthly carrier costs by over 30 percent.
