As a result of our Neat Helps SCOR Deploy Pioneering Video Tech in Record Time blog back in January, Reto Schadegg, Head of Global IT Infrastructure at leading global reinsurer SCOR, was recently invited on the Microsoft Teams Insider podcast to expand on how Neat helped SCOR successfully deliver a rapid global deployment by leveraging prior standardization and planning.
SCOR is a leading global reinsurer offering clients a diverse and innovative range of reinsurance and insurance solutions and services to manage risk. Headquartered in Paris, France, it has offices in 35 countries. SCOR uses Microsoft Teams with our powerful Neat Bar Pro device in 90% of its rooms. It also uses our Neat Bar, Neat Board, Neat Pad, and Neat Center devices. SCOR manages its global Neat device deployment on a Pro plan through our Neat Pulse online management platform.
Neat helped SCOR achieve a 40% reduction in operational costs and six-figure savings overall
As you’ll discover when you tune in to the podcast, we helped SCOR transition from its complex, outdated systems to the simplicity of Neat within three months by SCOR deploying our devices in 200 Microsoft Teams rooms worldwide—our fastest rollout yet.
The rollout achieved a 40% reduction in operational costs and six-figure savings overall. A streamlined support model now manages 200 rooms with just 1.5 full-time equivalents (FTEs) on second-line support. (FTE refers to the unit of measurement that business owners use to indicate the working hours of a call center agent and helps with, among other things, budgeting and tracking cost reductions.)
