“As one of the world’s largest and oldest microstock photography agencies, it is hard to believe the cumbersome, time-consuming process we used to rely upon from our previous managed service provider to deploy a server to host our photos.

With AWS we are much better positioned for growth without hardware restrictions and are no longer dependent on legacy servers and ways of doing business.”

"Our team’s number one goal was to move our contact center to the cloud so that we could stop maintaining our physical infrastructure and focus on building an unforgettable customer experience. With Amazon Connect, we are fully confident that our contact center can continue to grow and innovate alongside our company.

We’ve seen agents at home with their family streaming TV have no call quality or connectivity issues. Since deploying Amazon Connect, we’ve transitioned all 250 agents to a softphone setup."
