Client Success Story!
Juggling two phones just to do your job? 📱📱 That was the daily reality for 15 dedicated counselors at a local nonprofit we recently helped. Not only was it a hassle, but the costs for those extra Verizon lines were adding up.
As the founder of Longnecker DataCom (since 2021!), I love finding ways to make life easier AND save our clients money. This project was a perfect example.
The Challenge: 15 counselors, each needing a personal and a work cell, leading to inconvenience and inflated mobile bills.
Our Solution with TPx & Cisco: We transitioned them to the powerful Cisco UCX with Webex platform. Here’s the impact:
✅ Goodbye, Second Phone: We ported all 15 Verizon numbers seamlessly. Counselors now use the Webex app on their personal smartphones for all work calls & texts – signing in when on duty, out when off.
📞 Desk Phones Still an Option: They got new desk phones too, offering total flexibility.
💬 Texts Integrated: No more missed messages; business texts flow right into the Webex app.
💰 Major Cost Savings: Multiple Phone bills? Gone. Replaced by one predictable, manageable invoice for a complete unified communications system.
The Transformation for This Nonprofit:
Streamlined daily operations for their crucial counseling work.
Empowered counselors with tools they actually enjoy using.
Freed up budget to reinvest in their mission. ❤️
It's amazing to see how the right tech, implemented thoughtfully, can make such a difference. We didn't just install a phone system; we helped them optimize their entire workflow.
My key takeaways for any business owner or manager out there:
Don't assume communication headaches are "just the way it is." Modern solutions offer incredible flexibility.
Empowering your team with user-friendly mobile tools isn't just a perk; it's a productivity booster.
The right technology partner looks beyond the tech to understand and solve your core business challenges.
➡️ Is your team still wrestling with outdated communication systems or multiple devices? What’s the biggest communication challenge you're facing right now?
