About TechCorp
Industry: Software Development
Employees: 450
Locations: 5 offices across North America
Founded: 2015
Annual Revenue: $85M
Remote Workers: 60% of workforce
The Challenge
TechCorp's rapid growth exposed critical limitations in their communication infrastructure. Their traditional PBX system, installed in 2016, was struggling to keep pace.
Key Pain Points:
Escalating Costs
Monthly phone bills reached $18,500 for 450 employees. International calls to clients and remote team members were particularly expensive. Line rental fees continued rising annually.
Maintenance Burden
Aging hardware required frequent repairs. IT spent 15-20 hours weekly managing phone system issues. Adding new lines required expensive on-site technician visits.
Remote Work Limitations
Remote employees used personal phones or complex call forwarding. No unified communication experience across locations. Difficulty tracking call metrics for distributed teams.
Limited Analytics
No visibility into call patterns or quality. Customer service couldn't track performance metrics. Management lacked data for informed decisions.
Scalability Issues
Adding capacity required hardware purchases. Onboarding new employees took 3-5 days for phone setup. System nearing maximum capacity—growth was limited.
Client Testimonial:
"Our phone system was actively hindering our growth. We were spending more time managing it than using it effectively. Something had to change."
— James Peterson, CTO at TechCorp
