Filltek
The Qwest solutions were essential to helping us drive down our contact center operating costs. The services have been reliable, and we are more nimble because we can allocate percent call-routing to a third-party vendor at a moment's notice.

Challenge
Executives wanted to increase the operational efficiency of the firm's customer contact center and cut costs. They reevaluated their telecommunications contracts and spotted an opportunity to meet their objectives.
Solution
Managers implemented the Qwest® Toll-Free service across five T-1s and transferred 46 toll-free numbers to the new circuits. The company's customer contact center uses over 4 million minutes per year. Administrators use the Qwest Control® online management tool to allocate percent call routing to a third-party provider during peak periods.
Benefits and Results
- Cut contact center minute-to-minute expenses by 20 percent to markedly improve cost efficiency.
- Slashed contact center T-1 monthly fees by 40 percent.
- Responsive Qwest staff dramatically reduced vendor management labor hours.
- Online Qwest Control access to 1,500 page bills speeds accounts payable reconciliation.
- Consultative Qwest account team realigned service portfolio to remove non-utilized services and add business agility.
