Success Stories
A large financial institution was struggling with validating the value of a server consolidation strategy. As a result of an Alinean analysis, the strategies were revised to change the consolidation strategy & platform, helping to lower costs and optimize business value further than prior plans. The analysis resulted in not only a valuable multi-million dollar server sale, but elevated the vendor from product solution company to valued and trusted consulting partner.
At States of Jersey (UK), our vendor sales team customer invited Alinean to help create a business case on the value of VoIP telephony and networking upgrades. This initial 600,000₤ deal was won based in large part on the business case presentation by Alinean. Helping to change the relationship strategically based on value, this eventually led to standardization worth $3 million annually.
The Santa Clara Office of Education struggled for over two years to justify an upgrade to and funding for their telephony systems. Alinean collaborated with the sales team to provide compelling a business case presentation for the upgrade, and prove competitive advantages versus market leader Santa Clara-based Cisco. Alinean directly participated in presentations to the board to garner approval and chalk up a competitive win.
Prairie View University/Texas A&M was paying too much for their telecommunication solutions. Alinean worked with the sales team to create a compelling, credible business case for change. The customer decided to make the change and implement the proposed solution based on this business case.
A vendor sales team customer invited Alinean to present to the Scottish Federation of Higher Education. The business case presentation led to standardization across all regional universities for the proposed solutions, based on the positive feedback from the value proposition presentation by Alinean.
