Acquirent LLC

The Challenge

Chicago-based Acquirent, an outsourced sales execution firm focuses on helping clients grow through achieving market penetration, brand expansion, and increasing sales revenues that meet or exceed profit objectives. The organization’s founder, Pete Kadens, has focused on building a sales team that is dedicated to their clients. So it was no surprise when he chose Geckotech’s reliable and highly scalable voice and data network. Recently, when Acquirent faced a last-minute disaster that required them to move out of their office, they didn’t even have to call the phone company. With 11 employees in 1 office, all using SimpleVoIP™ Hosted VoIP service, they were completely mobile without even knowing it.

The Solution

After evaluating their options for a voice and data network, Acquirent chose Geckotech’s outsourced IP phone system for its ability to provide a reliable and highly flexible solution. A benefit of using SimpleVoIP™, Geckotech’s outsourced IP phone system, is Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. By outsourcing your phone system within Geckotech’s fully redundant carrier-grade facility, businesses have a higher chance of surviving a disaster such as a fire, flood, or power outage. In the event of an emergency, calls are automatically routed to alternate locations or mobile phones, allowing clients to continue to operate as a business.

 
The Results

Geckotech’s VoIP service simply needs an internet connection, allowing our customers to take their phones anywhere, any time. This translates not only to convenience, but safety as well. "Voice over IP has enabled companies to plan for disasters," explains Josh Robbins, managing partner of Geckotech. "With portable phones, your office moves with you. Companies that previously couldn’t afford to protect themselves now find built-in amenities previously only available to Fortune 500 companies."

"We all just packed up our files, laptops and Cisco™ phones and went home," explains Pete Kadens. "Everyone plugged in their office phones at home to their DSL or cable and the office was back up and running with no disruption of our business. Even during the drive home incoming calls were automatically redirected to our cell phones. Without Geckotech’s VoIP, I don’t know what we would’ve done."

"Geckotech’s VoIP phone service saved my company", recalls Pete Kadens, CEO of Acquirent, LLC.
