What they say About Us and why...
ICC Networks creates and supports outstanding Telco Software as a Service to Internet Telephone Service Providers (ITSP's) around the world.
ICC’s Management Team first came together for a Leeds University funded “proof of concept” project looking at SIP applications back in 2005. The project was a success and the team built out a successful business serving ITSP's across five continents. These ITSP's now use ICCs Active SoftSwitch service to deliver a range of fully branded telco services to more than 100,000 end users worldwide.
As early as 2008, when ICC asked its customers “what do you like about us ...” they selected Innovative, Flexible and Responsive as the three key words that they most associated with the business. Here, the management team discuss why they believe this is so.
Innovative
CTO Devrin Cakali, who has led the development of Active SoftSwitch from the beginning, said “...we believe that innovation is not just about having the clarity of mind to come up with something new, it’s about delivering something that works so well, that we can completely take it for granted as we move to the next frontier. We spend most of our time and energy now, trying to make things clean, simple and easy to use and you have not finished the job until it is..."
He added "...we have always believed that our partners should be able to provide their Customers with a great service without getting snared in the technology and so I think that our reputation for innovation is because we have learned the art of making complex things appear easy. Our constant Mantra has been “make it easy to set up, easy to use, easy to serve Customers...””
Responsive
Rav Rehal lives as close to the heart and mind of Active SoftSwitch Customers as anyone. He commented “People need to know they can reach you if they are having a crisis, even if it is just to confirm that the problem is unique to them and that can be at 4 am. So with Customers on five continents and with a young family, that can be a challenge. But we understand that it is our response in those critical “moments of truth” that makes all the difference. It's the exact moment when your Customer forms his opinion of you…”
He said ”…offering 24/365 is not just about having engineers on duty, it is about understanding the wider implications of any given event for each individual Customer and it’s about the whole business being responsive in times of stress. Customers will always have problems. It’s how we deal with them that counts...”
...and it's about the whole team
Steve Rowles added “The key to being a thriving and vital business is the attitude of the whole team and it has been our good fortune that we have been able to build up a great team of individuals that reflect the very best of UK life in that we are multi-cultural, multi-lingual and multi-talented. The rest is just about training".
"We may be a software development business, but we have always focused our attention on our Customers’ needs and that’s probably why we are seen as innovative, flexible and responsive.”
