APPLICATION OF BEST PRACTICES YIELDS RESULTS

Simplify’s team of trusted, tenured advisors and solutions consultants first led the client through a deep dive analysis of their current technologies, providers and associated costs.  Then Simplify collaboratively developed strategic options for the future state, and helped the client evaluate each solution and provider.  The client ultimately opted to migrate to an SDWAN solution coupled with Unified Communications.

#1     Achieved $2.5M in net savings over 5 years

Compared multiple providers’ pricing and leveraged knowledge base of industry to negotiate competitive pricing; assisted with contract negotiations to win favorable terms and conditions for the client.

#2     Consolidated providers

Reduced the complexity and load on IT, A/P, and Procurement by eliminating about 60 providers for data circuits, PBX, and PSTN.
