Customer solution at a glance
WEI is a strong partner
After selecting HP, NEL looked for a partner to help
them implement a solution, and chose Worldcom
Exchange, Inc. “First we met with WEI’s designers
and product experts,” recalls Reisdorff, “and then
WEI worked with HP and put it all put together in one
package: a complete, integrated, industry standard
solution that all works together, with one service
contract from one source.”

The WEI team also worked with NEL to make sure the
project went as planned. “WEI people were on site
with us doing the configuring and the installation,”
says Reisdorff. “They also opened up their lab to us.
We went into the lab and built the system exactly to
our specifications. That saved installation time. Unlike
a lot of companies, WEI didn’t get it almost right and
then come back and tweak it. They got it right the first
time. They were also very cost conscious. Sometimes
they were slowing us down, telling us to make sure it
is right before we took the next step.”
