EXTERNAL Re: Structured - Reference included in RFP proposal for City of Kalispell
Richard King <rking@asdl03.org>

To:Erika Billiet <ebilliet@kalispell.com>
Good morning,
Our MiTel system was installed quite a few years ago by Tri-Tec communications. This was done before
my arrival at the district. After I started working here, in an effort to get the system upgraded to the
latest version I was working with the vendor and my confidence in their abilities faded very quickly. It
wasn't too long before I reached out to some folks at other school districts to see who they were
working with. There was an overwhelming number of folks working with Structured, so I started
conversations with them and made the move. So far, this has been the best decision we've made in
the time with this system. They have actual professional, certified techs and engineers that can help
with just about any issue.
Additionally, we recently awarded an RFP to Structured for replacing our firewall with a new Palo Alto.
We haven't kicked off that project yet, but if our experience with the phones is any indication of their
service and support, then I think we will be great.
Hopefully this and my answers below will help!
When did your UCaaS get started?
I believe it was around 2018, but it was before I came here, so I don't have exact dates.
How was the deployment?
We deployed with another vendor and switched after.
How is the support response?
Amazing. Typically we use email and they always respond within 24 hours. It is also possible to call them and get
support over the phone, so if you need a more urgent response you can do that.
How often do you need to contact someone to make changes or are you able to implement desired changes on
the phones yourself?
Most of the basic configurations can be done by our staff, but Structured has helped us navigate our lay offs this
year by stepping in to create custom ring groups and automated systems. They have been very helpful with the
oddball requests, and they really know their stuff.
Do you experience downtime?
Nothing caused by the vendor. We host our servers on my VMware cluster.
What happens when you lose internet connectivity? Can calls go out and in?
Depends on the outage. If we still have local connectivity in the district, then we can use the phones - if it's an
internal issue like DNS server or something then it will prevent any calls. It's only happened one time since I have
been here.
Do you have anything to share with me?
Nothing additional!
Would you recommend working with the company?
Definitely!
Thanks
Rich

Hello Richard,
I'm reaching out as Structured listed you as a reference in a Unified Communications as a Service proposal in
response to the RFP issued from the City of Kalispell.
The proposal indicated Structured took over maintenance of the MiVoice business for the Anacortes school
district.
Would you answer a few questions? Some may not apply since the Structured may not have deployed the
MiVoice business system. If you don't want to email responses, my phone number is listed below in my email
signature.
