Challenge
We still clearly recall the first day when we met the Managing Director, Mr. Vinayak Nayar. He was in search of a CRM solution that would enable him to provide exceptional service experience to his clients for his forthcoming automobile venture. During the initial discussions, there was mention of placing orders to a hardware major for some 50+ workstations. Our enquisitive consultant ‘tentacles’ latched on to the wavelength and probed further about what exactly was their plan and at what stage were they in deploying their infrastructure. And Mr. Nayar, shared his vision and his action plan.
Highlight
- Deploy a CRM solution that should be integrated with their phone lines, so that the [CSEs]{Customer Service Executives} could address their existing clientelle with a warm and personal greeting.
- Evaluate the software licensing needs and ensure that they were 100% compliant.
- Ensure complete data security and prevent all forms of data espionage.
- Deploy an infrastructure that would be scalable and grow with their organisation’s needs.

Results
We had never deployed all the above at one go, ever before. However, we had the conviction and trust in our abilities and so did Mr. Nayar. We set forth with researching each bit, integrating it into the other and prepared the entire solution well in time for their use.
The number of users have more than doubled in the last 5 years and so have their needs. The infrastucture has scaled and matched their needs. We have continued to reciprocate their faith reposed unto us by addressing their growing needs with our innovative and cutting-edge solutions. Details about the same qualify for another interseting [case study]. To this day, we take pride in stating that they have never lost a single byte of their precious enterprise data of any form.
To our surprise, we came to know thereafter that we had done a first by deploying such an infrastructure for an automobile dealership.
Working with Intelliant is a great experience. Right from the point of requirements collection to post-sales support, they have always given their 100%. We have been the envy of most of our peers and have been able to drive down our IT infrastructure costs even while using the latest and the best technologies thanks to Intelliant.
