Entanet incumbent system had clear flexibility and stability issues, and its limited functionality was typical of many legacy setups. Users were spending hours processing data manually and creating statements, unsure that processes would complete accurately… or at all.
With the business continuing to expand, bill-runs were increasingly a ‘boiler room’ situation involving several staff over a day and a half, diverting time and resources unnecessarily. Entanet knew it was high time for change.
Strategic Imperatives migrated all of Entanet data securely and smoothly to its new Elevate platform. With Elevate, Entanet now manage all its billing data instantly, and create management reports automatically and with pinpoint accuracy. And crucially, bill and statement runs now take less than an hour.
Almost overnight, Elevate had enabled Entanet to provide a first-class customer experience effortlessly – and to re-allocate time and resources back to upholding a well-deserved reputation and growing their business further.
Our experience with Elevate is generations ahead of what we have used before. Adopting Elevate represents a strategic enhancement of our billing capability and strategy.
Zen was using a bespoke in-house system that required time-consuming manual processing and regular maintenance. It also became clear it wasn’t suitably scalable to support Zen’s growing Voice business.
Revenue assurance could be lacking, while gaps in processes meant some calls were simply disappearing – threatening security accreditations.
It was clear the existing platform was becoming more of a liability than an asset, and incompatible with the business’ long-term plans. And the replacement had to integrate seamlessly with other systems, including those for order management and CRM.
Elevate’s SaaS had immediate impact on Zen’s efficiency, with a pre-configured billing and reporting service up and running very quickly. The first live bill run was achievable within days, and took no time, highlighting Elevate’s capacity, accuracy, reliability and scalability.
Meanwhile, it passed Zen’s rigorous penetration and vulnerability testing with flying colours, and proved user friendly to the extent that hardly any training was required to master it. Plus, our two-factor authentication and top-level encryption ensures total security for Zen and its growing portfolio of discerning customers.
