Zoom Customer Accelerates Adoption whilst Reducing Costs

The oldest independent realty broker in the US transitioned to Zoom Phone in 40 seconds without replacing any devices, achieving 92% cost savings through Phonism's innovative solution.

The Challenge

The oldest independent realty broker in the US faced challenges with their telecom system. Operating with 144 Avaya J Series phones, they found the features of Avaya IP Office lacking and were unable to integrate with newer technologies like Zoom due to compatibility issues. Facing the prohibitive cost of $21,600 for new hardware, plus additional IT setup fees, NP Dodge needed a financially feasible solution that would allow them to use their existing phone systems with a modern UCaaS platform. Although Zoom supports several models in the J Series, it did not support their particular model, the J169.

Solution

Phonism stepped in to provide an innovative and cost-effective solution that leveraged their existing infrastructure while enabling full compatibility with Zoom. Phonism's platform automated the migration process, eliminating the need for extensive on-site IT work and reducing costs by 92% compared to a full hardware replacement.
