"I found Fox Group a pleasure to work with.  They were flexible with the statement of work and were happy to remove or add items but ensuring that we knew the areas that were important and that we should leave as is in order for us to have a successful engagement and get the information we required.

 

Their tools are invaluable.  In particular the technical work book, the telecom survey and the spreadsheets they use to gather information from the vendors that ensure that it is a level playing field and that the vendors provide all the relevant information.

 

They clearly have years of experience not only in this extremely complex environment of Unified Communications but also with traditional telephony and networks.  It’s obvious that they keep up to date with the changing landscape.

FOX Client Profiles

​

Our clients are enterprise, government, insurance, financial services, entertainment and new media organizations.  They range from a few hundred people in one location to tens of thousands with distributed, global multi-national companies, whether in Canada, the US or international global, distributed organizations.

 

They all share common characteristics:

  • Multiple locations using many types of communications hardware, software, services and vendors;

  • Legacy technology environments and don't know who or what to believe;

  • Lack of current IT and telecommunications expertise;

  • Not sure about what they need in the future, or how to get there;

  • Challenges with vendors and struggle to keep up with the technology trends, services and vendor; and last and most important; and 

  • Staff that are too busy running the day to day operations to keep up to date with latest technologies, let alone have the skills, knowledge or expertise to help move to new technologies or vendors.

 

Our clients are communications dependent organizations that require reliable solutions, top notch day-to-day vendor support, all at the best prices.  Most of them generally don't have the capacity, skills, expertise and experience they need to develop future technology strategies or have the ability to navigate through the changing communications landscape and vendors. 

 

We bring our expertise, processes, reputation and collective buying power to get them the attention, support and deals that fit their future requirements.  One of our clients coined this capability as "Fear of Fox," abbreviated as "FoF."  

 

We have even had them send us an email with the topic line like "kick in "Fear of Fox" to get vendor "X" supporting us back on track or help us replace them asap!"

 

We believe in working "with" the suppliers and Clients together to ensure that they have the right people, products and support to make sure they can all succeed.
