Today our building manager came into our downtown Boston office suite and asked if our phones were down. It was a strange question to pose to a communications company, right? Obviously my curiosity was peaked by this, especially due to the fact that our phones were active. Apparently the entire building had lost communications, save our suite, as the combination of the heat and old boston copper brought down communications in the building. Verizon trucks swarmed the building, actually swarmed is the wrong word, but it sounded more dramatic and enhanced the story. In any event, communications were down in the building and I had sales reps going suite to suite to see if they could be of any assistance. It is truly a convincing argument for Votacall and the Cloud when the only company with the "non-traditional" communications solution was business as usual and everyone else was scrambling. Picture this...
Our office suite: a serene yet productive environment filled with minute by minute accomplishment.
Everyone Else: reminiscent of the hysteria scene in the movie Airplane! when the stewardess tells the passengers that they were out of Coffee.
Again, it was not that dramatic, but certainly a costly situation that we avoided as early adopters and integrators of Votacall and the Cloud.
