Telecoms Consultancy
Ayudar was asked to reduce telecommunications costs and improve reliability for Westland Helicopters at its Yeovil site
The Response
Ayudar analysed that the most critical point of failure was the centralised existing telephone system. A failure of the PABX would reduce telephone traffic to and from the site to virtually zero
The solution was to replace the existing system with three systems networked together. This meant that a single system failure would result in only a one-third reduction in voice capacity
By linking the systems with Voice over IP (VOIP) over the existing data networks, savings of over £400kper annum could be made by not renting internal telephone circuits from the telephony provider. Ayudar assisted Westland Helicopters in the selection of the supplier of the new network and project managed the installation, testing and commissioning of the system
In addition, Ayudar has helped Westland Helicopters reduce telecommunications costs by:
Overall savings in excess of £500,000 per annum were achieved and have enabled new telephone systems to be purchased and installed out of the cost reductions made with no additional capital outlay.
“Thank you for the comprehensive report on our telecoms service. I would like to thank you and your colleagues for producing such a good report and for pointing us in the right direction as far as savings are concerned.”
– Colin Buckland, Westland Helicopters.
