Success Stories
Sample Client Projects
The following are examples of the types of projects that Telecom611 has assisted clients with from cost reduction programs to unique network applications of communications platforms. When needed Telecom611 also provides staffing for ongoing telecom/IT related activities. While we are contracted to protect our clients' privacy, these examples should give the reader an understanding of the size and scope of the types of projects Telecom611 can assist with.
Depending on client needs, many projects can be done with minimal client staff involvement with initial rounds of analysis or competitive bids handled by Telecom611. This way client staff can be used more effectively in final vendor selection activities or making network or platform design decisions. For team projects, Telecom611 can provide additional resources and expertise to assist clients in accelerating solution evaluations, implementation and completion.
