Marketform Case Study
Marketform is a specialist Lloyd’s Managing Agency, providing tailor-made insurance solutions to multiple industries around the world. Founded in 1989, the company’s success has been due to the strong technical skills of its underwriters and passion for client service.
Challenges
Identifying a need for consistency and reliability within their current telephony and data service, Marketform were keen to explore options that would facilitate this, and understand the after-care service they would receive. The key objective was to reduce business line rental costs, including: ISDN30 (digital phone line), analogue line rentals and local, mobile and international call costs.
Existing Systems
Marketform were using Cisco Call Manager communications platform, which provides services such as voice, video, messaging and web conferencing. Following an internal review seeking improvements, Marketform decided to restructure their telephony systems. Lines that were previously looked after by the facilities team were now IT’s responsibility to manage and improve.

Solution
Synergy were awarded the contract, after a full market search was completed by Marketform and showed that Synergy provided highly competitive rates and savings far in excess of existing services.
Synergy seamlessly, and without any downtime, migrated Marketform’s BT services to the Synergy platform. Further savings were sought by analysing and cancelling services that were no longer used or necessary.
