Customer: Bob Scalise Company: The Planet Group Industry: Staffing & Recruiting Buyer Persona: CIO, VP of Technology, IT Director, IT Manager Video: https://share.vidyard.com/watch/iMVpJu7iRgXzBnDNN8KWhb? Author: Tim Conti Publish Date: January 16th, 2023 Introduction We were introduced to the Planet Group through an executive who sits on the Company’s Board. This led to an introduction to Bob Scalise, VP of Technology for the Planet Group. The Director of Operations and the CEO’s executive assistant were also part of the steering committee to find a new unified communications-as-a-service solution. With my 16 years of direct industry experience, proven framework, and a 10-step process for evaluating, implementing, and adopting disruptive technologies, the Planet team felt like my team was the right fit with our unbiased approach to vendor selection. Bob and his team cited two main success factors in working with us. The first was time savings. With our proprietary decision-making tools, we could reduce the number of vendor choices from over thirty to a manageable three, in just 60 seconds. The second was cost savings. We were able to save The Planet Group $320k by moving to Zoom Phone from Fuze. www.cloudtrustedadvisor.com
