Says James Finglas, Managing Director.
One of MJ Flood Technology’s major success stories has been with Fingal County Council. When Fingal County Council realised their existing on-premise telephony platform could not support remote work they turned to MJ Flood to rapidly develop and implement Microsoft Teams & Calling Solution. “We approached MJ Flood on a Thursday evening at 7pm. By Monday, we had a Virtual call centre with service line up and running, all of our call centre staff working from home.” – John Quinlivan, Director of Service, Fingal County Council. MJ Flood demonstrated the ease-of-implementation and scalability of this solution that quickly and efficiently solved Fingal County Council’s challenges during COVID-19.
We look forward to seeing how MJ Flood Technology grow and develop their offering, specifically in helping to support Irish customers to adopt Microsoft Teams, Calling solutions and M365 Subscriptions to unlock the full potential of the Microsoft product suite.
