It’s uncommon within the IT world that issues end up a lot better than you’d hoped—often Murphy’s Legal guidelines govern the world of the CIO—and everybody else who has to maintain expertise working easily.
That’s why we have been so struck by Greg Meyer’s feedback a couple of weeks in the past at Orlando’s Enterprise Join convention and present. Greg is Director of Methods at WMPH, which stands for We Make Individuals Pleased, and its enterprise consists of iCruise.
Because it runs a cruise line, WPMH is aware of precisely how a lot even slightly dangerous climate can disrupt its enterprise. And main issues like hurricanes and floods can show disastrous. That’s why the corporate moved all its communications—together with its intensive contact middle, which does all of iCruise’s bookings—to the cloud.
“We now have brokers that work out of their properties in varied elements of the nation, however our name middle is in South Florida, the place we get hurricanes and energy outages,” he says. “With out service, in an influence outage we’ve nothing—we’ve no shoppers. So we went to the cloud with the only function of catastrophe safety—that’s all we actually have been searching for—and to keep away from energy outages and hold our prospects.”
That was nice, Greg says, however the perfect half was all of the transformative capabilities that got here with their new cloud-based system.
“8×8 that not solely supplied cloud safety for us, however an entire host of different companies and options that we didn’t even know we might get.
Now we’ve a Virtual Contact Center and Digital Assembly, and we’ve acquired chat and all these different interfaces and contacts that our brokers use,” he says.
So perhaps generally, even in CIO-land, Murphy takes a trip—within the cloud. Study extra about iCruise and WMPH .
