Hosted Voice — Gorilla Tango

Gorilla Tango

 

"With our streaming online broadcasts, real-time ticket sales, and voice service all running over our Speakeasy T1, we're putting a lot of eggs in one basket. If I didn't know Speakeasy was reliable, I wouldn't be doing it. With Speakeasy, we are able to get full-featured broadband services at a fraction of the cost of inferior services. This is a huge value to small business like ours."

— Dan Abbate, Executive Director and Owner, Gorilla Tango Inc.

 

Company Background

Gorilla Tango, Inc. operates Gorilla Tango Comedy Theatre in downtown Albuquerque and broadcasts live improvisational performances, original films, and musical events on the Internet for paying home viewers. With only 30 full-time and part-time employees, Gorilla Tango also runs a professional improvisation training center and offers corporate team-building, entertainment, and non-profit fundraising services.

Overview

  • Challenge
    Fast, secure, always-on connectivity is vital to Gorilla Tango's business, which includes online broadcasting, real-time credit card transactions, and browser-based accounting. Though their budget is modest, Gorilla Tango has big IT needs. With plans to open a second theatre in Chicago next year, Gorilla Tango needs voice and data solutions that will grow with them. Gorilla Tango's founder doesn't have time to fuss with IT problems, and he needs to be able to work any time, from any location.
  • Solution
    A Speakeasy T1 line provides security, speed, 99.99% guaranteed uptime, and the single-point-of-contact support. By running Speakeasy Hosted Voice over their T1, Gorilla Tango makes maximum use of their connectivity investment. Web-based controls make changes and additions easy, and multiple offices will be able to share a 1-800 number and enjoy free 4-digit dialing between locations.
  • Results
    Gorilla Tango can rely on proven technology to grow their business with no worries about downtime or latency. They slashed their telecom budget by 72% when they switched to Speakeasy Hosted Voice and internet faxing. Plus, unlimited long-distance ensures that increased productivity never busts the budget.
