ABercrombie and Kent

A&K has chosen to standardize on a Mitel 3300 IP Communications Platform (ICP) with IP phones throughout its entire organization. The forward-looking company, which places customer service at the heart of its value proposition, has also rolled out a Mitel Customer Interaction Solution to improve first line customer contact and efficiency. In addition, the global solution will be centrally managed by the IT team in London using Mitel Enterprise Manager, enabling set up and configuration changes to be made remotely to any system in any office.

A&K has around 2,000 employees and 40 years experience operating in the travel industry. The company prides itself on delivering an exceptional level of customer service and as a result requires the most reliable communications in place to deliver on this promise.

Traditionally each A&K office sourced its own telecommunications system locally. The result was a wide variety of telecoms solutions across the company without a uniform platform or integration and no economies of scale.
