In addition, the company owns and operates approximately 130 local broadcast television and radio stations throughout the country and distributes content online. Because of its nationwide presence and power, Univision needed a Managed Services Provider that could move quickly to resolve issues.
Univision’s initial solution was a time-consuming, inefficient mess, requiring the company to juggle and maintain several contracts with different vendors and carriers. With so many locations spread throughout the US and Mexico, it couldn’t afford to waste time struggling to communicate with all these providers. More than anything, it needed a single point of contact.
In 2011, it found just the point of contact it needed. For the few thousand Avaya and Nortel users at Univision, Continuant was able to offer maintenance and support that included industry-leading SLA’s—something that was missing under its previous provider. Continuant has continued maintaining Univision’s Avaya and Nortel systems.
Because of the high level of service that Continuant has consistently offered Univision, in 2016, the company selected Continuant to manage its 5,500-user Cisco enterprise as well.
Prior to Continuant, Univision had outsourced its Cisco service to an offshore integrator. That firm’s lack of communication led to Univision’s firing the offshore provider and engaging Continuant—and today, Univision has continued to bring Continuant into other areas as well, including a Route/Switch Network, a custom service desk, dedicated video help desk, carrier services, and a full suite of Managed Services for Cisco.
Continuant has continued to step up to the challenge and provide for this broadcasting corporation. Univision now has the peace of mind that comes from being able to call a reliable partner for solutions and support whenever it needs them.
