IP SOLUTION TO SPRINGBOARD ITS GROWTH PLANS

COMPANY
Beyond Compliance Inc. helps energy companies enhance compliance by improving workflow processes.

CHALLENGE
As part of its North American expansion, Beyond Compliance wanted to increase remote worker productivity and reduce costs.

SOLUTION
With Allstream's Unified Communications IP telephony solution, the company is extending its network across multiple sites to enhance worker mobility and collaboration.

OUTCOMES

• Anticipates long-term savings of $15,000 to $20,000/year on projected conferencing costs
• Expects improvement in mobile workforce productivity by 10% to 15%
• Guarantees ability to upgrade system in the future without financial penalties

As a fast-growing company with offices in Calgary and Houston, Beyond Compliance Inc. understands the importance of adopting scalable and cost-effective solutions. So when it embarked on a telephony system upgrade, the company knew it needed the ability to rein in spiraling long-distance costs related to its growing reliance on teleconferencing and Web conferencing. At the same time, the company realized it needed a system capable of supporting its increasingly dispersed mobile workforce. That's when it turned to Allstream.

SOLUTION

After assessing the company's long-term needs, Allstream recommended a migration to a Unified Communications solution. By converging data, voice and video on a single network, the system lets Beyond Compliance seamlessly extend teleconferencing and Web conferencing functionality to all its associates, no matter where they are located.

With integrated mobility and collaboration applications, the company also provides remote workers with access to their voice mail, email and data on the device of their choice. By enabling remote workers to track down team members in real time, Beyond Compliance accelerates decision-making capabilities and improves customer service.

The solution was made even more affordable with Beyond Compliance taking advantage of Allstream's leasing program.

BUSINESS OUTCOMES

In addition to seamlessly interconnecting its networks across multiple sites, Beyond Compliance's migration to Allstream's IP telephony solution will enable it to:

• Achieve a return on investment for its teleconferencing and Web conferencing in less than one year
• Realize annual long-term savings of $15,000 to $20,000 associated with its plans to double sales volume and vastly increase its reliance on conferencing services
• Increase mobile workforce productivity by an estimated 10% to 15%
• Enhance associate efficiency by synchronizing its disparate systems and devices
• Improve responsiveness and customer service by providing access to key decision makers
• Support company-wide communications and collaboration
• Lay a strong foundation for its aggressive growth plans with a flexible, affordable and scalable networking solution
