The challenge: Approximately 95 percent of TTI’s 100-plus employees in the U.S. are telecommuters. The company also has about 125 employees working in a centralized office in India. TTI was using an outsourced proprietary solution with limited (and hard to use) features. The system had poor voice performance, resulting in up to 40 percent dropped calls and required a separate solution for voice conferencing.
TTI was looking for a reliable, open standards-based unified communications solution that they could manage on their own with integrated applications (such as voice conferencing) to drive productivity and save money.
