Professional Services | How We Do It | Connect

Professional services.

From independent insight to implementation, our professional services specialists are part of almost every Connect project. They bring a fresh perspective to solution design and a wholly professional ethos to delivery – adapting our methodology to your requirements.

Communications consultancy: an independent insight.

From cloud migrations to contact centre innovations, there are more options available than ever. But for many organisations, the choice is almost too wide. That’s why more and more clients are turning to us for consultancy around communications strategy and specific technologies. They trust our expertise, built up over decades, but also our independence: we work with a broad range of vendors, but aren’t tied to any of them. Above all, our clients trust us to know their technology environment and culture – so the advice is truly bespoke.

Amazon Well Architected Programme

How well-architected is your AWS deployment?

From the customer experience to the user experience, almost every organisation now has some cloud solutions. But few IT teams have the same experience in integrating and supporting these new additions as they do with on-premise platforms – and that can result in inefficiencies or compromised security. Drawing on our outstanding track record of cloud solution delivery, our experts can conduct rapid reviews of your cloud architecture, and give you actionable recommendations on how to optimise it. We are accredited AWS Well-Architected partners.

Professional research and testing: our innovation hub.

As a team, we’re excited about new technology and using it to enhance customer communications. To help us accelerate adoption, we’ve set up an in-house innovation hub, where we can put new solutions to the test, exploring their capability, scalability and reliability. Our hands-on approach has meant we’re among the few UK organisations to have delivered both Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud contact centres – and identified and implemented tools that can support them.

Use our hub to support your testing and pilot programmes away from your live environment.

Professional delivery: our flexible PMO.

A key part of our professional services offer is our project and programme management. Our experienced project leaders help scope requirements and establish relevant governance processes. We can follow a traditional waterfall delivery model, or adopt an Agile approach. We’re also accustomed to managing third parties, including tier 1 carriers. Everything is transparent, including standard rates and the offer of fixed price moves and changes (‘MAC packs’) to accompany new solutions, and you have a single point of contact and a sense of control.

We’ll help you keep your focus on the big picture while we take care of the details.

Strong connections. Across industries. Across applications.

The technology Connect had installed allowed us to be agile.

Connect's account director collaborated with us to identify the most cost-effective solution for MIB in the long term. We had a great plan for team by team introduction of the new technology and we had to rip it up! Instead, we instantly agreed to find ways to enable our staff to work from home. The technology Connect had installed allowed us to be agile.

From the very first meeting we had with Connect, everything that was promised has been delivered.

From the very first meeting we had with Connect, everything that was promised has been delivered. Even when we’ve had to change scope, they’ve understood that this can happen and have been flexible. The fact that they’re vendor agnostic means they always have a balanced approach and I know they’ll give advice with our best interests at heart.
