Introduction
Premitel is a small Managed Service Provider (MSP) specialising in telecoms and network solutions for residential and small business customers. As the demand for cloud-based communication grew, Premitel realised the need to transition from traditional PBX systems to more scalable, cost-effective hosted solutions. By partnering with Luminate Wholesale, Premitel successfully transitioned to a cloud-based platform, enabling the company to streamline operations, offer better services to clients, and scale its business more effectively.
Challenge
Premitel’s previous platform was primarily designed for PBX systems and had limitations in scalability and user management. The platform’s pricing model was complicated, and it became inefficient as Premitel’s customer base grew. Premitel also faced challenges in migrating customers without disrupting their service, especially given the large number of phone numbers and SIP trunks tied to the previous platform. As a small business, Premitel needed a solution that could support growth without overwhelming its resources.
