Common Challenges That Australian Businesses Experience
We have worked with a number of clients in industries who experience seasonal staff fluctuations including air conditioning, tourism, construction, transport, medical, retail and government agencies.
The challenge is created when an organisation has a large influx of users for a short period of time, and their phone system licences and concurrent calls are deployed and charged on a per user basis in a fixed contract, with a minimum spend commitment.
Most providers will allow you to scale UP and increase the number of user licences, and with this, a new increased minimum commitment, that would last until the end of the contract term. This results in unnecessary higher costs over the term of the contract with long periods of time having underutilised services, with no ability to scale back down.
Most vendors will allow you to Scale your Telephony Users UP but not DOWN.
We worked with an air conditioning provider that for 80% of the year, has approximately 100 fulltime users and during summer they scale their inbound call centre team, their outbound service and support team and their technicians doing installs from 100 users to 150 users for 3 months and then go back down to 100 users thereafter. Their previous provider would charge them for 150 users irrespective of their consumption, as the number of licenses were provisioned to the peak volume of users and then it was impossible to scale back down to 100.
