SickKids Foundation is the largest charitable funder of child health research, 
learning, and care in Canada after the government. The foundation’s contact 
centre helps raise funds on behalf of The Hospital for Sick Children (also known 
as SickKids), receiving contributions from more than 232,000 donors annually.
The foundation’s aging network and phone system were unable to keep up with 
its needs, resulting in poor voice quality, dropped calls, and downtime. Contact 
centre agents were unhappy at how hard it was to provide great service. There 
were also concerns about how network and system disruptions may have 
impacted donations.
“Outages were frequent and troubleshooting was difficult,” says Corriveau, 
associate director, Technology Services. “We tried using a cloud-based solution, 
but that wasn’t ideal because of poor support and lack of integration.”
SickKids Foundation improves the donor experience 
and increases efficiency by equipping contact centre 
with a scalable network and unified communications.
“ 
By improving collaboration and efficiency, we’re able to raise 
more funds to help more sick kids.
- Seth Corriveau, Associate Director, Technology Services, SickKids Foundation
A donation to charity is a generous gift. If your experience during the process 
is lengthy or cumbersome, would you think twice about donating to that 
organization again?
