Some of the Work We've Done
Air Zematt Case Study
Air Zermatt was looking for a better way to meet safety and regulatory mandates. For years, Air Zermatt was relying on paper based systems that were time consuming and difficult. The solution was Office 365. Switching to Office 365 immediately made an impact on Air Zermatt’s business. Office 365 contained two major features that the company was looking for: ease of use and scalability for future growth. Office 365 allows the system to grow with the company as needed. Air Zermatt estimates that by adding Office 365 allowed the company to save approximately $200,000 annually. The service also saved employees about five hours a week due to the ease of obtaining documents through the cloud. Overall, Office 365 seems like the perfect solution for Air Zermatt’s needs. The company is able to improve its technological needs and save money in the process as well.
Subaru Canada Case Study
Subaru Canada used Lync in order to improve communications throughout the company. Before migrating to Lync the company was reaching the limits of its PBX. These limitations were causing problems within the company. Lync allowed all communication options to be unified. Now, everyone had a clear line of communication regardless of the hardware they were running. Lync had enough capabilities to completely retire their PBX system. Lync also enabled their IT department to become more productive. Now, the IT department could spend more time on improving efficiency and customer service, all while spending less. Lync allowed Subaru Canada to save money by avoiding the purchase of dedicated servers, cooling, space, and other items necessary to run their own information system. Overall, the introduction of Lync to Subaru Canada has resulted in a much more efficient company with greater customer service.
