Key Facilities Management

Key Facilities Management, a consulting management agency, wanted to deliver better customer service by improving the way they communicate internally as well as with clients. In response to this need, the company decided to unify its fixed-line, mobile, email, desktop and web communications.

Vodafone Unified Communications introduced a solution that uses the cloud-based Vodafone One Net combined with Microsoft Online Services. Key FM has reduced its costs, made administration more efficient and ultimately gives its staff the freedom to focus on doing their job as effectively as possible.

Key FM has offices in the UK in Stirling and Prestwick, with approximately half its staff constantly moving around the UK and internationally to visit clients, therefore communication is at the heart of Key Facilities Management’s business.

The multi-platform landscape of email, fixed-line calls and web platforms proved difficult for the team to maintain and so the company chose Vodafone Unified Communications to help simplify their approach to communicating productively.

“We made the decision to introduce a unified communications platform for external communications. This meant that we could provide our workforce with seamless communications but with all the additional functionality that would help them do their jobs more efficiently. This was not simply about saving money; it was about getting more functionality at the same cost.”
