Tech IPs installation of a new on-site telephone system for Lytham based business Countrywide Financial Solutions, has provided the team of talented Independent Financial Advisers with a much needed boost in telephone functionality.
Renowned for their straight talking tailored advice, Countrywide Financial solutions (CFS) are all about conducting business that is hassle free and making sure their customers know exactly what’s happening with their finances every step of the way.
Which is why, when CFS decided to upgrade their old telephone system to a new on-site system, it was Preston based company Tech IP they knew they could put their trust in to deliver a high quality, hassle free service the same as they provide for all their clients.
Gavin Sturgess Director of CFS who are praised for their industry expertise and personal service had this to say about the telecoms company: “We have known and worked with Tech IP as our telephone supplier for many years now and they have always provided us with a great service so it was an easy decision for us to go with them when upgrading our current telephone system,”
With Tech IP being given the green light they quickly set to work trying to find exactly the right telephone solution for CFS. The new system was to provide capacity for additional telephone extensions and improved functionality with return on investment being a key component in their decision. CFS wanted the best possible system to support the needs of the business for the coming 7-10 years at the lowest possible cost.
After considering a number of different manufacturer’s products it was the Avaya IP Office system that Tech IP decided was the best solution to meet all of CFS business needs.
“Avaya currently provide a very competitively priced system for the size of office CFS occupy and its scalable in a modular way all the way up to and over 500 telephones”, explains Ian Hilton Director of Tech IP a specialist provider of phone systems to the UK business market. “Taking all this into account and the fact that Avaya are one of the best pedigree manufacturers in the market, it made perfect sense to shortlist this product as the number one recommendation.”
The offices were currently cabled for telephones, so Tech IP made sure that the new system made use of the existing cabling which had already been done, saving CFS on costs wherever possible.
Tech IP project managed the upgrade from start to finish and following pre staging of the of the system off-site including pre-configuration, it was possible to upgrade the system on-site in 1 working day which was great news for CFS as any disruption for the team was kept to a minimum.
Minimising operating costs for CFS was also a top priority for Tech IP which was another reason why they chose the new Avaya system. Any remote programming changes can be made easily without the need for an engineer which is great news for CFS as it means they won’t have to pay repeat call out costs for minor changes and moves.
Although Countrywide Financial Services were greatly impressed with the cost savings that Tech IP worked hard to achieve for them, it seems it was Tech IPs dedication to providing a good service that impressed them the most.
“The new system has been installed now for over a month and everything is working really well for us. Naturally it takes a short time to learn how to make the most of the new phones but we have already begun to see significant improvements in our working practices” explains Louise Jackson office manager at CFS.
The final comment was made by Gavin Sturgess director of the company.
“Tech IP exceeded our expectations once again and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services to any business looking for a competitive local supplier that really cares about customer service.”
