CanStockPhoto
“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. We went from having to wait for over a month for new servers to be installed to being able to quickly scale out servers to keep up with our increasing customer demands. 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.”

ratesdotca
"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.

Recently, when we had to move our agents to a work-from-home environment, we were concerned our agents would have connectivity issues since many of them live in rural areas; that hasn’t been true. 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."
