One of Sumo’s major US clients had a requirement of 500 Laptops and to provide WiFi network solution at the event venue.

Quite obviously, the client was pleasantly happy with the solution and also complimented that this was the first such approach they had witnessed. The event was an immaculate execution ensuring the highest level of customer satisfaction and delight.
Key Check points in the Journey
In larger scales of projects which required attention to greater details, Sumo Technologies have proven its mettle. One of Sumo Technologies’ clients required 1000 Laptops for a government project across Kerala. All the IT infra rentals providers in South India were hesitant to sign this order considering the complexity in operations and predicted to fail to achieve an ROI from this transaction.
Sumo stepped forward and engaged with the client and ensured that the services were delivered on time. Sumo Technologies planned this project meticulously and expedited deliveries beyond the expectation of the customer. Although the project was scheduled to run for three months, Sumo Technologies also planned and prospected new clients who shall use these 1000 laptops upon return thus proving that Sumo is not hesitant in investing in new projects and also ensuring that the devices can be used for future purposes within a stipulated timeline.
In a similar, equally demanding client venture, Sumo Technologies had to deliver 3000 desktops to a prominent BPO company across India. The requirement was very urgent, leaving Sumo with less time to expedite the order. Installing software in all the 3000 desktops was a crucial challenge. Nevertheless, Sumo Technologies finished installing the software in all 3000 desktops using cutting edge technology. The client was astounded by the rapid completion of the project and appreciated the swift delivery of services.
Through Peculiar Client Requests
Talking about the challenges that Sumo Technologies often comes across while addressing client requirements, the Chairman Meda Sreedhar, explains how few of the clients ask for niche products that are new to the market. Some times, Sumo Technologies finds it difficult to source them given the fact that the devices are not in full production in India. For example, in situations when clients request for Apple Laptop with corei9, octacore processor, Sumo’s suppliers provides the product with a significant delivery lead time. Meanwhile, the client is kept informed about such delays thereby not disturbing client’s confidence.
More often than not, people with scarce knowledge of IT products raise concerns about whether a particular hardware will suffice their software requirement. To overcome this challenge, Sumo Technologies’ marketing and services teams conjointly understand the clients’ precise requirements and recommend hardware accordingly.
Having served a wide array of clients, across a wide spectrum of use cases, Sumo Technologies is actively looking forward to 4 crucial aspects to grow acquiring bigger clients, constantly upgrade IT infra inventory and be ready for any requirement, constantly indulge & learn new technology, and participate in more events & enhance Sumo’s solution modules.
