Case Study
Landline Sunset
THE CHALLENGE
Skyrocketing costs and risks caused by end of life services required migration of our client's landline estate to a digital technology.
THE SOLUTION
The Business Stage deployed a multi-tiered approach including:
- Audit and cleanse of the aged estate
- Migration of eligible services to the UC solution
- Digital solution migration plan for remaining landlines
Engaging with the client's business technology leads, technical teams and multiple suppliers, The Business Stage evaluated the estate, ceased redundant services, and migrated eligible services to the client’s unified communications solution.
Savings were tracked and documentation was refreshed. Our client, a leading FTSE 100 company, is now positioned to migrate the remaining landline estate to the digital solution.
The Results
Global Landline Estate Reduced by 71%
- Trued up and recouped overbilling
- Ceased and migrated redundant services
- Cataloged remaining inventory
- Refreshed documentation
The project was delivered at a cost equal to 10% of the savings generated with a one month ROI.
