Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce

Replacing legacy systems with futureproof, fibre-optic connectivity for the Chamber of Commerce.

Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce

When the Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce contacted Bluecube about the proposed move of their new headquarters in the city of Lincoln, the objectives were clear: a smooth transfer with minimum disruption or downtime. The Chamber was keen to utilise new technology to increase efficiency within the organisation and ultimately deliver an even better service to members and tenants.

The ISDN and PSTN networks are due to be switched off by Openreach by 2025, meaning businesses using legacy systems will need to look at next-generation comms before this time, or face loss of business due to a lack of preparedness. The work done for Lincolnshire Chamber of Commerce was just one example of Bluecube supporting businesses to future-proof their systems.

“ It was, and still is,  so refreshing to work with the Bluecube team which now feels like it works with us as opposed to holding us back.“

The phone system then connected to multiple ISDN30 lines which delivered the number of channels they required.

The challenge

When Bluecube carried out the initial survey, the Chamber’s existing phone system was an onsite PBX. The phone system then connected to multiple ISDN30 lines which delivered the number of channels they required.

The requirement for call volumes and features after the move, and the complications in moving the ISDN lines whilst preventing downtime, resulted in Bluecube recommending a hosted voice solution. The organisation also wanted to increase bandwidth availability within the new building.

Checks were made for fibre to the cabinet (FTTC) availability and when availability has confirmed an increase in bandwidth was agreed through additional circuits.

Customer testimonial

“Before joining Bluecube we seemed to spend so much time administering our service providers that it nearly became a role in it’s own right, with this we commissioned Bluecube to enable a smooth transition to our new Headquarters in Commerce House in Lincoln, incorporating the upgrade to newer and smarter communications technology.
It was, and still is,  so refreshing to work with the Bluecube team which now feels like it works with us as opposed to holding us back.  From proactive suggestions on specific pieces of kit to improve our process flow or to simply answers questions and get to the bottom of issues, it has been a pleasure to work with Paul and the team.”
