THE CHALLENGE
Keeping subscribers online—and technicians safe—during a pandemic
Cincinnati Bell was committed to ensuring their subscribers had access to reliable internet connections to stay socially connected during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, social distancing best practices and the fear of community spread made it difficult to safely coordinate the technician visits necessary to complete critical repairs and new service installations.
"A customer who was out of service and was either ill or not wanting to allow a technician into their home may have to potentially be without the service for another two weeks, and with everybody being forced to work from home, that would be a huge problem," said Charles Moore, Operations Manager at Cincinnati Bell.
THE SOLUTION
Implementing RouteThis to deliver support remotely
Cincinnati Bell deployed RouteThis LiveView to an initial group of 60 technicians with the aim of using it to remotely support at-risk customers or those who preferred not to have a technician in their homes.
