Client Overview

Our client is a large UK-based legal services firm operating within the conveyancing sector. The business had experienced rapid growth and was operating across six locations nationwide, with a workforce that relied heavily on high-volume inbound and outbound calls.

As the firm expanded, leadership recognised that its legacy telephony platform was no longer fit for purpose and posed a growing operational risk.

tHE cHALLENGE

The client’s traditional on-premise phone system had reached end of life and was no longer supported by its incumbent provider. This created several critical challenges:

  • No vendor support in the event of system failure
  • High risk of extended downtime
  • Inflexible infrastructure unable to support hybrid working
  • Limited scalability for a rapidly growing workforce
  • Operational complexity across multiple sites

Any handset fault, system outage, or configuration change would have left the business without assistance. In addition, the legacy platform offered no modern reporting, call analytics, or contact centre capability, limiting visibility and control.

The firm required a resilient, scalable, and future-proof communications solution that could support growth while minimising disruption to daily operations.

Discovery & Requirements Analysis

iNREACH worked closely with the client to understand operational workflows, call volumes, compliance obligations, and future growth plans.

This discovery phase focused on:

  • User numbers and projected growth
  • Departmental call flows and routing needs
  • Compliance requirements for call recording
  • Contact centre functionality for high-volume teams
  • Multi-site deployment considerations
  • Remote and hybrid working requirements

This process ensured the final solution was tailored precisely to how the firm operated, rather than forcing the business to adapt to off-the-shelf limitations.

Solution Design

iNREACH Comms designed a fully hosted, cloud-based VoIP solution to replace the ageing on-premise system and provide long-term flexibility.

Technology Strategy

A cloud telephony platform was selected to deliver:

  • High availability and resilience
  • Centralised management across all sites
  • Secure, compliant call handling
  • Rapid scalability as the business grew
  • Support for office-based, remote, and mobile users

Key Solution Components

The solution included:

  • Cloud-based VoIP telephony
  • Deployment of 500 handsets and headsets across six locations
  • Advanced call reporting and analytics
  • Seven-year compliant call recording
  • Contact centre functionality for high-volume teams
  • Bespoke call flows and departmental routing
  • Real-time wallboards and performance visibility

The platform was designed to allow users to be added or removed quickly, ensuring the system could evolve alongside the business.

Implementation & Delivery

Given the size and complexity of the deployment, iNREACH followed a structured and highly collaborative rollout process.

To ensure a smooth transition:

  • A three-month rollout plan was developed using detailed Gantt charts
  • Weekly and bi-weekly progress meetings provided full transparency
  • Handsets were pre-configured, labelled per user, and delivered ahead of go-live
  • Number porting was completed out of hours to eliminate downtime
  • The migration was completed without disrupting business operations

iNREACH worked closely with the client’s internal IT team throughout, ensuring a controlled and predictable deployment across all six sites.

Results & Outcomes

Since implementation, the client has realised significant operational and strategic benefits.

Operational Improvements

  • Rapid scalability, growing from 100 to 500 users seamlessly
  • Increased platform resilience and long-term stability
  • Elimination of single-vendor support risk

Support for Hybrid Working

  • Staff can work effectively from the office, home, or multiple sites
  • Consistent user experience across desk phones, laptops, and mobile devices
  • Faster onboarding of new employees with next-day handset delivery

  • Real-time performance monitoring for management teams
  • Enhanced customer experience through intelligent call handling

  • Ongoing user training
  • Immediate system changes when required
  • Rapid licence provisioning, often within minutes
