Solution
Exponential-e's self-owned, enterprise-class network is the foundation of JTL's IT infrastructure, and – in turn – much of the training they deliver. Scalability is a critical factor here, ensuring new training sites can be opened and closed down as seamlessly as possible. New sites are typically deployed every 2-3 months, with sixteen sites in operation around England and Wales at the time of writing, and four more currently in the works.
This is highly scalable, highly available connectivity is complemented by a Cloud-based, AI-powered Contact Centre platform, ensuring trainees are always able to make contact with the right person throughout every stage of their programme, across an evolving range of channels. All trainee information is fully centralised throughout each stage of their programme, ensuring agents are able to resolve any queries as quickly as possible, with minimal points of contact required.
Exponential-e also provide additional support is also provided around the provisioning and management of key software licences, ensuring all staff and trainees are equipped with the tools they require, for the best possible rates.
JTL's account team at Exponential-e continue to work closely with their own IT team and other teams from across the company, identifying and acting on new opportunities for improvement and innovation. In this way, JTL's IT infrastructure can continue evolving in response to the needs of trainers, trainees, and apprentices, freeing them to focus on the learning experience
"The key thing about our partnership with Exponential-e is the reliability. Our connections rarely ever go down, and we're never in any doubt as to who to talk to for anything, whether that's launching a new site, or further consolidating and optimising our IT ecosystem. In this way, technology remains a powerful driver for the quality of training we are able to deliver."
Parth Parmar, Head of Technology, JTL
