Case Study: Monterey Mushrooms keeps telecom costs flat and boosts network reliability with vCom Solutions

No increase in telecom expenses over ten years despite tremendous company growth and doubling the capacity of their data network

Monterey Mushrooms, the largest marketer of fresh mushrooms in the U.S., faced a significant challenge with its decentralized telecom environment. Without centralized management, the company was processing over 150 invoices monthly and lacked visibility into its $700,000 in annual communications spending. Facility managers struggled to understand their costs, and previous attempts to negotiate corporate contracts had failed.

vCom Solutions implemented its vManager software and professional services to provide a consolidated view of all services and costs. They designed and managed a migration to a new MPLS network with a Tier 1 carrier, doubling capacity and improving reliability. As a result, vCom helped Monterey keep its telecom expenses flat for eight years despite tremendous company growth. The solution also automated the accounts payable process and provided a single point of contact for all orders and repairs, greatly increasing efficiency.
