ValorIT Case Studies
BPO Global Call Center Engages with Valor IT Managed Services

Company Profile
Client provides Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) delivering Customer care and collection services for a host of contracted large-cap businesses including Fortune 500 companies. Client currently places more than 2.2 million agent attended calls per month and requires 99%+ uptime. Client maintains office locations in Phoenix, Chicago, Costa Rica and Philippines with other global remote offices.

In response to doubling its global operations over the past year and in order to support its current growth, Client needed to streamline information flow and business process, as well as making its’ global IT operations in compliance with SAS 70 requirements. Like many growing businesses, Client faced many challenges in maintaining an internal IT Staff including high turnover, constrained IT budgets, outdated systems, and system integration challenges. The daily IT needs overwhelmed the IT staff to the point that serving the daily needs prevented necessary maintenance and upgrades from occurring. This series of critical challenges was presented to Valor IT with the goal of allowing them to be proactive, efficient and reduce operating costs.

Solution
Client engaged with Valor IT to provide Managed IT and Consulting Services. Valor IT assigned an IT Director to assume the role as Global IT Director for the Client.

Results
Valor IT provided assistance with Client's IT operations which have grown more than 200% in the past two years. With Valor IT Managed Services Solutions, Client has been able to reduce IT employee turnover, operational costs, increase uptime and increase efficiency-all in a fixed price solution.  Some of the major achievements in the first six months of the engagement include:
  • Direct Savings of $3+ million per year due to contract negotiations with existing vendors
  • Moving ill contracts to new reliable vendors and partners
  • Implementation of Enterprise Level Storage solution with DR availability
  • Phased approach to virtualization to reduce operating costs and meet IT budget
  • Data Center Consolidation
