Learn about how we’ve helped our clients.
We’ve provided E-Rate and California Teleconnect Fund consulting services since 2012 for a multi-site Pre-K/Head Start organization. Since then, they’ve received reimbursements of over $2,000,000 for Category One and Two expenses. In addition, by combining our E-Rate and technical expertise, we were able to guide the client through upgrading their Internet technology from DSL connections to cable modems, which increased bandwidth and allowed for the implementation of a cloud-based VoIP system at nearly sixty locations.
HWC completed an optimization audit for a large community-based organization of all of their telecommunications services (voice and Internet), which has resulted in savings of over $230,000 over the first eighteen months. We began by analyzing each circuit and service to determine a baseline of their current expenses, and then provided a series of recommendations to reduce costs. Savings from the audit enabled the client to fund additional projects that were previously unaffordable.
We served as the project manager for a K-12 school district looking to update its legacy voice infrastructure. We helped them migrate to a new cloud-based VoIP system by conducting a needs assessment, developing an RFP, and assisting with service provider selection and contract negotiations. We conducted site walkthroughs, managed project timelines, and supported the successful installation, test, and turn-up of their new platform.
Through our contract negotiation service, we saved a client approximately 44% per month on their telecommunications expenses. We worked directly with multiple service providers on their behalf to find the best fit and price. Understanding current industry trends, we identified opportunities for our client that not only improved their network, but also reduced their expenses.
