Case Study: Stone Energy lowers operating costs and reduces receptionist workload with ALICE Receptionist

Stone Energy Corporation - Customer Case Study

Stone Energy Corporation, an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company, faced steep budget cuts after a $60-per-barrel drop in crude prices that forced headcount reductions and the elimination of full‑time receptionists at remote offices. To maintain visitor management without onsite staff, Stone Energy adopted the ALICE Receptionist visitor management system.

ALICE Receptionist was deployed at all four Stone Energy offices and put into production within a week, integrating with Cisco Unified Communications Manager and syncing with Microsoft Active Directory. The touch‑screen kiosk senses motion, greets visitors, places calls to employees, and can print badges—reducing office managers’ front‑desk workload, improving visitor experience, and delivering reception functionality at roughly one‑tenth the cost of a full‑time employee, providing immediate cost savings for Stone Energy.
