Large Office Relocation & Variable Billing

We often talk about taking advantage of the economies of skill and scale. It works like this:

Firstly, we’re capable. We have the technical expertise required to implement complex, large-scale projects. Secondly, our unique pricing model makes costs “burstable”.Customers pay for what they need, when they need it.

Situation

One of our clients was preparing to move their 1200-seat office to a new location. Not an easy task, considering their network needed to be kept live during the moving process.

This didn’t come as a surprise to us, though. The client in question is a major international supplier of urban transportation management that oversees complex systems, such as railway crossings.

We were retained to help oversee the move and fix any problems that occurred, ensuring the transition went smoothly.

Solution

Our project management team immediately identified planning deficiencies that needed to be addressed. These deficiencies would have led to serious time setbacks and increased budget costs.

Throughout the project, our staff had regular discussions with our client’s project managers.

A team of our project managers and network engineers provided a full perspective of the project. This led to designing and implementing a new system architecture. The new system was more efficient, reduced circuit costs and helped identify future problems.

In addition, our staff improved their business continuity plan by augmenting it with our own expertise. This resulted in a better failsafe for possible disasters, keeping their systems up with very little to no downtime.

Our client was not only impressed by our technical expertise, but also by our fully variable basis billing.

Instead of being billed a set cost for the whole project, we were able to provide billing based on what technical skills were required and as a one-time cost. This provided “burstable” expertise, which allowed our client to get exactly what they needed when they needed it.
