70 Faces Media Tech ConsultingCase Study
Are you fully aware of what you’re paying for IT, whether it’s your office phone, high-speed internet, or cloud data plans? We understand that every company has their unique needs, and we understand how to meet these needs when it comes to your IT costs. 70 Faces Media is one of those clients that we were able to help save thousands of dollars per year by getting them the best internet and phone plan for their business.
70 Faces Media are a non-profit digital media company, with several subsidiary organizations including My Jewish Learning, a Jewish lifestyle blog; Jewniverse, a Jewish arts and culture blog; Kveller, a blog about parenting from a Jewish perspective; and the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA), an international news agency and wire service serving Jewish community newspapers and media around the world, with about 70 syndication clients. As a whole, 70 Faces Media has about 30 in-house staff.
When Danielle Elkins (Chief of Staff at 70 Faces) was dealing with expiring long-term telecom and data contracts, she came to us. Their internet provider, backup internet provider, primary PRI, and backup phone line contracts were all held by another company which had offered them a quote for renewal of $1,457.34 monthly, with $12,595 startup costs. She thought this seemed high and turned to us for our advice.
After our consultation, the package we came up with fit their needs much better and cost them $717.98 monthly, for a total savings in the first year of $21,467.32. We avoided the wildly unnecessary expense of a fiber backup line and instead had them use a 20 Mbps copper line for combined usage as a phone line and backup internet line. Along with that, we were able to secure them more competitive rates for their primary internet and backup phone lines.
With us, we can audit your IT costs to see if there are unnecessary and/or expensive bills that we can streamline for you. We’re here to give you the best IT environment and reduce your headaches, just like we did with 70 Faces. Why not give us a call and see if we can help you?
