Anywhere with Webex | Gurste Case study

Webex empowers UK startups to help companies respond to emergencies

UK startup Gurste is taking on big responsibilities. They work to ensure no organisation faces a crisis alone. They might help a small shop recover after a fire, aid an international distributor with sudden supply chain issues, or assist clients with their security and counter-terrorism planning.

No matter the client, Gurste starts with a process of threat and risk assessment⁠ to determine what they need to prepare the client for. Once the assessment is complete, Gurste works with clients to develop plans the businesses can implement should threats and risks materialize. Most importantly, these plans help ensure that employees stay safe and receive long-term support as needed. Gurste also helps companies build public relations plans and identify other ongoing actions they might need to take after a crisis. From there, Gurste supports its client in training their teams to ensure that plans run like clockwork as soon as they’re required.

Easy-to-use, flexible video conferencing

With such a wide range of clients scattered internationally, Gurste needed a collaboration platform that was secure, reliable, cost-efficient, and easy to use. They tried Microsoft Teams, but found the user experience clunky. Gurste explored Zoom, but it struggled to meet necessary security requirements. They also used RingCentral, but moved away due to a mixture of high prices and first-party support for Cisco desk phones. After ruling these providers out, they worked with their Cisco partner and decided Cisco Webex was the perfect fit due to its robust feature set, performance, security, and support.

“We are a remote-first company, so Cisco Webex is central to what we do,” said Gurste’s CEO Connor Gurney.

Gurste uses Cisco Webex Meetings as their primary method of communicating with clients, both on an everyday basis and during an incident. The video conferencing tool’s many features have served the business well.

“We regularly use the recording and transcription features of Cisco Webex Meetings to ensure that everybody can access information,” Gurney said. “This means that we always have a record of truth, which is vital when conducting post-incident reviews.”

When disaster strikes and clients call, time is of the essence. Gurste must quickly make accurate assessments of the situation and rapidly deploy the correct resources.

“Let’s say there was a fire in the building. We can quickly send them a link to join a Cisco Webex Meeting via their mobile phone when they’re in a safe place and see what is happening in real-time,” Gurney said. “It can be incredibly easy to underestimate what’s going on based on just a phone call. Having reliable video conferencing available is important for us. Having Cisco Webex video conferencing allows us to see and understand the situation — first-hand.”

Best-in-class Cisco security to protect client data

Security is critical for Gurste. Whether responding to an incident in real-time or developing a contingency plan, clients share details that need to stay safe and private.

 

“A lot of the information we handle is incredibly sensitive. We must have the very best in security, and we get that with Webex. Webex offers end-to-end encryption and is the only solution we identified that is able to offer this on VoIP calls, meetings, and messaging, which made it by far the best solution for our security needs.”

 

Webex Calling in addition to secure video conferencing

While they previously had to make calls from their personal mobile phones while working remotely, Gurste now relies on the Cisco Webex Calling platform to make and receive calls from any device, anywhere in the world.

In times when a phone call is the right move, the Gurste team has found Cisco Webex Calling to be an excellent resource for internal and external collaboration. They also use the Cisco Webex App to collaborate with suppliers in the UK and abroad.

Standout support

As a small company, Gurste has been impressed with the responsiveness of the Cisco Webex team. Any time they have a question or a unique challenge, the Cisco Webex team is there. There was no initial cost to get set up, and clients and contractors without technical experience were able to get up and running quickly and easily.

Cost savings with Webex

There are several ways that Gurste measures its ROI from Cisco Webex. One aspect relates directly to the company’s bottom line.

“Previously, we might have had to send somebody a significant distance, only to find out it could have been handled with a video conference. Cisco Webex means that now we are not deploying resources unnecessarily. We also have gained increased capabilities around security, which we didn’t have before.”

Gurste has also seen great ROI in terms of client satisfaction. Gurste needed a reliable solution that could help them communicate smoothly with clients and deliver excellent customer experiences. Having that face-to-face interaction on Cisco Webex really makes a difference.

“When our clients call, it is most likely because they are having one of the worst days of their lives. Being able to interact with somebody who is not as emotional, who can calm them down, and who can begin to provide solutions is important,” Gurney said.

Webex drives critical learning and growth

Because no two incidents are ever exactly alike, the Gurste team also uses Cisco Webex as an important source of knowledge to help them learn and do better each time.

“Cisco Webex Meetings and Cisco Webex Calling enable us to have recorded and auditable conversations while responding to an incident,” Gurney said. “This is crucial as it means we can review decisions as they were made in real-time and harness the knowledge that may otherwise be lost, which allows us to learn vital lessons, which may well save lives in the future.”

Additionally, as Gurste grows and expands, it is looking into how it might leverage additional Cisco Webex solutions, such as incorporating Cisco Webex Events for webinars and other educational sessions.

 

Simplify and future-proof your technology footprint Amillan

Leading communications integrator, Amillan, has been named as a supplier on Crown Commercial Service’s Network Services 3 (NS3) framework (RM6116).

Amillan’s success in being named as a supplier will allow them to give public sector organisations easier access to its expertise in telephony and communications technology as Amillan can provide servicers on the following Lots:

Amillan underwent a rigorous  selection process where applicants were evaluated for multiple service lots, based on multiple criteria, including service offerings, implementation skills, service delivery, customer references, and experience.

Patrick Daly, Managing Director, Amillan, said:  “Amillan has seen tremendous success via our previous listing on Network Services 2, and we are delighted to be successfully selected once again on the new Network Services 3 framework. This award continues to give us access to an expanded pipeline of public sector procurement opportunities and will enable us to transact business much more quickly and seamlessly with existing and new public sector customers. It will help streamline the whole process both for us and our clients.”

The NS3 framework is for the provision of telecommunications and network services and can be used by the whole of the UK Public Sector and their associated bodies and agencies, the voluntary sector, charities, and/or other private organisations acting as managing agents or procuring on behalf of the public sector delivering services of a public nature.

NS3 aims to simplify and speed up communications and networking procurement for public sector organisations, with pre-defined and agreed contract terms and conditions and a shortlist of pre-approved suppliers providing a wide range of services. The framework will run until at least 2025.

The modern business environment is becoming increasingly complex, and organisations in the public sector are no exception. One key challenge is keeping up with the rapidly evolving technology landscape. With cloud computing, unified communications, and other technologies emerging as critical components of enterprise IT, public sector organisations must take steps to ensure they are efficient and meeting the needs of their stakeholders and local communities.

Cloud-hosted unified communications infrastructure can be a powerful tool in the public sector’s digital transformation efforts. Here are some of the key benefits that such infrastructure can offer:

  1. Enhanced collaboration: Cloud-hosted unified communications infrastructure enables team members to communicate and collaborate more efficiently, regardless of their location. Whether they’re in the same building, working remotely, or stationed in different parts of the country, unified communications systems can bring everyone together on the same platform, with real-time communication and collaboration tools at their fingertips.
  2. Increased productivity: With cloud-hosted unified communications infrastructure, public sector employees can get more done in less time. By providing a single platform for messaging, voice and video calling, and file sharing, this infrastructure eliminates the need for multiple tools and systems. This makes it easier for employees to access the information they need, when they need it, and work collaboratively with their colleagues.
  3. Improved flexibility and scalability: Cloud-hosted unified communications infrastructure can be scaled up or down based on an organization’s changing needs. This means that public sector organizations can easily add or remove users, applications, and services as required, without having to worry about the associated hardware costs and management overheads.
  4. Better security and compliance: Cloud-hosted unified communications infrastructure can offer advanced security features, including encryption, firewalls, and intrusion detection and prevention systems. This helps to protect public sector organizations’ sensitive data and intellectual property from unauthorized access or theft, and ensure that they remain compliant with relevant regulations and industry standards.
  5. Lower costs: By adopting cloud-hosted unified communications infrastructure, public sector organizations can reduce their IT costs significantly. This is because the infrastructure is hosted and managed by the service provider, which eliminates the need for on-premises hardware and software, as well as associated maintenance and support costs. This makes it a more cost-effective solution than traditional on-premises deployments.
  6. Improved citizen engagement: Cloud-hosted unified communications infrastructure can also enable public sector organizations to engage with citizens more effectively. By providing real-time access to information, services, and support, unified communications systems can help to improve citizen satisfaction and trust in government services.

In conclusion, cloud-hosted unified communications infrastructure is an increasingly important technology for public sector organizations looking to transform their operations and maximise efficiency. By providing enhanced collaboration, increased productivity, improved flexibility and scalability, better security and compliance, lower costs, and improved citizen engagement, this infrastructure can offer significant benefits to public sector organisations of all sizes and types. To realize these benefits, it is essential that public sector organisations work with trusted and experienced service providers like Amillan to design, deploy, and manage their unified communications systems.
