Implementation
With over 20 years telecoms experience and trained in-house engineers, AdaptiveComms has a wealth of experience to call upon to ensure that implementing a new system is as seamless as possible:
Planning
We establish requirements through conversations with key stakeholders about the current situation, pain points & drivers for change. We discuss both must-haves and ideals, considering scale, timings, budget etc to get a comprehensive scope. We then research further using tools such as bill analysis and onsite audits.
Design
We collaborate across the team to put together a solution that will meet the requirements. We offer demos of these to key stakeholders.
Proposal
We put together a proposal outlining features, technical requirements, cost, and an implementation strategy. If appropriate, we can provide small-scale deployments to test concepts, tailor requirements and establish blueprints for full rollout.
Preparation
Once agreed, the account manager writes a comprehensive summary and hands over to the Implementation Manager and tech leads. The IM formulates a roadmap setting timelines and resource in line with the scope. We establish expectations, lines of communication, and next steps with the customer.
Deployment
Kit/software is configured, tested and readied for distribution.
Training
We provide training for all end-users, with further training for administrators and super-users, online or in-person on the day. Documentation and online resources are available before, during and after the implementation. We arrange site visits soon after for further training, tweaks and snagging. We provide ongoing support and updates to ensure the solution continues to meet customer needs.
Typically, from agreement to full deployment, turnaround time is 4- 6 weeks.
Service level agreements
Adaptive Phone is backed by Gamma, one of the most powerful networks in the UK, with its core telephony rental services having an SLA of 99.95% in any given calendar month. Resiliency is provided by the Horizon service being installed across four data centres so that loss of any single site won’t impact the ability to service customers.

We have an SLA response time of 1 hour for all faults reported during business hours with critical faults having a response time of 30 minutes – in reality most queries are responded to well within these times.
We operate standard office hours with out of hours facilities available for emergencies with access to the Gamma Status update website available 24/7.
