Case Study: Global Industrial Real Estate Company saves over $20,000 a month with ITsavvy unified communications

Consolidating voice services allowed this global industrial real estate company to save more than $20,000 a month on long distance costs

Global Industrial Real Estate Company, an established REIT and industrial property owner, needed a trusted IT partner to replace a patchwork of aging phone systems from multiple manufacturers and centralize communications across all sites. The company also wanted to improve employee productivity while finding a single provider that could recommend and implement a central phone system, and it turned to ITsavvy for help.

ITsavvy implemented a ShoreTel unified communications solution, including ShoreTel IP phones, ShoreGear switches, Director software, a ShoreTel conference bridge, and HP POE switches. The new platform provided centralized management, site-to-site internal calling, and lower support and conferencing costs. Measurable savings were significant: service call costs were nearly eliminated, and long-distance spending dropped from about $25,000–$30,000 per month to roughly $5,000 per month, saving more than $20,000 monthly.
