Every organisation faces unique challenges, from strengthening cybersecurity to modernising infrastructure. These case studies show how our mix of human risk understanding, technical depth and vendor side insight delivers transformation that lasts.
A leading UK telecommunications provider wanted to see what every one of its broadband customers was actually getting, not just what the network reported. C4C ran the programme end to end: the requirements, the market evaluation, the commercial negotiation, the supply of the platform and the infrastructure it runs on, the on premises architecture, the integration with CRM, OSS and big data, and the handover into business as usual. Twelve months from planning to full production, the platform gives operational and frontline teams real time usage and performance visibility across more than four million connections, around 90 percent of the fixed line estate.

C4C audited and right sized an estate of more than 4,000 cores, proved an exit was feasible in the time available, took a letter of authority and negotiated directly with Broadcom. The renewal closed 56% below the quote, a saving of more than £1 million, on a multi year term with a right to terminate every year.

C4C designed the insider risk programme, supplied and deployed Mimecast Incydr across 2,000 endpoints and the Microsoft 365, Google Drive and Box estate, and within ninety days the firm could see, score and stop sensitive data leaving. Twelve genuine incidents were caught in the first year, with no confirmed loss.

C4C assessed the estate, ran a vendor neutral selection, negotiated the winning platform 27 percent below the incumbents’ refresh quotes and migrated everything onto two arrays in fourteen weeks. Footprint fell 45 percent, power and cooling by more than 30 percent, and cost per usable terabyte by 41 percent.

C4C rebuilt the way it buys: every contract mapped and benchmarked against what the market actually pays, the approval chain cut from seven steps to three, and C4C in the room for every vendor negotiation. Cycle times fell 45 percent and £2.3 million was realised in the first year.
