Learning Squad Pvt. Ltd. & Sister Concerns (Client Project)
Project Type: IT Infrastructure and Call Center Setup
Scope: Setup and Configuration of Four Call Centers
Project Scale: 50–100 Systems Per Call Center
Overview
The project involved establishing and configuring IT infrastructure for Learning Squad Pvt. Ltd. and its sister concerns, focusing on setting up four fully functional call centers. Each call center was equipped with 50–100 systems and designed to meet high-performance standards for handling large volumes of customer interactions efficiently.
Key Responsibilities and Contributions
1. Infrastructure Planning and Design
- Conducted a comprehensive analysis of client requirements, including system performance, security, and scalability needs.
- Designed a robust IT infrastructure blueprint tailored to each call center’s operational goals and workflow requirements.
- Planned efficient network layouts, ensuring optimal connectivity and redundancy for uninterrupted operations.
2. System Setup
- Procured and configured 50–100 systems per call center, ensuring they met the specific hardware and software requirements of the client.
- Installed and optimized operating systems, productivity software, and call center management tools across all systems.
3. Server Deployment
- Deployed Active Directory (AD) Domain Servers to centralize user management and authentication across the network.
- Ensured secure access controls and streamlined user role assignments.
- Set up Database Servers to handle and manage call logs, customer data, and other critical business information.
- Used advanced storage solutions for high availability and rapid data retrieval.
- Implemented Proxy Servers for secure internet access, filtering unwanted traffic, and monitoring usage.
4. Network Configuration
- Designed and configured a robust network to support seamless communication and data flow between agents, servers, and external systems.
- Installed switches, routers, and firewalls to establish a secure and high-speed network backbone.
- Enabled VPN connectivity for remote management and secure access to call center systems.
5. Security Measures
- Implemented advanced security protocols to safeguard sensitive customer data and prevent unauthorized access.
- Configured firewalls, antivirus solutions, and intrusion detection systems.
- Enforced group policies and access restrictions via the AD domain servers to minimize internal security risks.
6. Testing and Optimization
- Conducted thorough testing of the entire setup, including:
- Server performance under heavy loads.
- Call handling capacity and response times.
- System integration and compatibility with third-party call center tools.
- Optimized configurations to ensure high availability, minimal downtime, and rapid recovery in case of failures.
7. Staff Training and Support
- Provided technical training to IT support staff and call center administrators on:
- Server management and troubleshooting.
- Network monitoring and maintenance.
- Efficient use of call center tools and software.
- Established an ongoing support system to address any post-deployment issues.
Outcome and Impact
- Seamless Operations
- Delivered four fully operational call centers with high-performance IT infrastructure capable of managing substantial workloads efficiently.
- Improved Productivity
