The Challenge
MyOutDesk, a virtual assistant company specializing in services for real estate agents, faced a significant challenge in maintaining consistent and reliable communication between its customers and virtual assistants (VAs). The company, which started in 2008 with 30 VAs, has grown to a company of 1,800 VAs serving more than 1,000 real estate agents and brokers across the US. Most of the company’s VAs (95%) are located in the Philippines. They handle a range of real estate–specific jobs, such as managing MLS listings, short-sale processing, filling out forms, calling prospects, and so on. The company's original VoIP system was not reliable enough to support consistent communication between the Philippines and the US, which was crucial for the company's success.
The Solution
To address the communication challenge, MyOutDesk brought in RingCentral as a backup solution. RingCentral outperformed the original VoIP system, leading to its adoption as the primary communication tool. RingCentral provided an all-in-one solution, including communications both in house and with clients, and other forms of communication besides just VoIP. The company uses RingCentral Meetings for video conferencing and screen sharing among colleagues across the globe, as well as for on-boarding new clients. MyOutDesk also uses the RingCentral Glip team collaboration software to make their VAs more productive. The software aids in tracking and ensuring task completion, and allows for image attachments to messages, enhancing understanding and communication.

Real-time In-vehicle Monitoring
The telematic solution provides this vital premium-adjusting information. The solution also helps detect and deter vehicle or trailer theft – as soon as a theft occurs, monitoring personnel can alert the appropriate authorities, providing an exact location.“With more and more insurance companies and major fleet operators interested in monitoring driver behaviour on the grounds of road safety, efficient logistics and costs, the market for this type of device and associated e-business services is growing rapidly within Italy and the rest of Europe,” says Franco.“The insurance companies are especially interested in the pay-per-use and pay-as-you-drive applications while other organisations employ the technology for road user charging.”“One million vehicles in Italy currently carry such devices and forecasts indicate that the European market will increase tenfold by 2014.However, for our technology to work effectively, we needed a highly reliable wireless data network to carry the information between the vehicles and monitoring stations.”
Case Study
Vodafone Hosted On AWS
Vodafone found that traffic for the applications peak during the four-month period when the international cricket season is at its height in Australia. During the 2011/2012 cricket season, 700,000 consumers downloaded the Cricket Live Australia application. Vodafone needed to be able to meet customer demand, but didn’t want to invest in additional resources that would be underutilized during cricket’s off-season.
