Gamma Setup in Colchester
Setting Colchester organisations up on Gamma, usually because the traditional telephone network is being retired and the old system has a deadline attached to it. That timetable is the useful thing about this project — it converts an upgrade nobody prioritises into work with a date, and the date is not negotiable.
Why this comes up
The problem
The existing lines are being withdrawn on a published timetable and nothing has been arranged to replace them.
What you get
What we deliver
- Existing lines and services inventoried against the withdrawal timetable
- Replacement service specified — hosted, SIP trunks, or a combination by site
- Connectivity checked, since the phone system now depends entirely on the broadband
- Support arrangement clarified, as the platform is bought through a partner
- Handsets and softphones chosen per role rather than replaced like for like
- Cutover scheduled with time in hand before the line is withdrawn

Gamma Setup in Colchester — common questions
- Why is there a deadline?
- Because the traditional analogue and ISDN network is being switched off on a published schedule, with services withdrawn progressively before the final date. Organisations still on those lines have to move, and leaving it until the notice arrives means doing it under time pressure.
- Does the broadband matter more now?
- Considerably. Once calls run over the internet connection, an outage takes the telephones with it, so the connectivity review is part of the phone project — including whether a backup connection or mobile failover is warranted for the sites that cannot be without a line.
- Who supports us afterwards?
- The partner you buy through rather than the platform vendor directly, which is worth establishing at the start. Response times, escalation and what is included differ between partners considerably, and that arrangement matters more day to day than the platform itself.
- Should we replace every handset?
- Only where a handset is genuinely needed. Reception, workshops and shared areas benefit from a physical phone; office staff working from a laptop generally do not, and buying a device for every desk out of habit is the largest avoidable cost in most of these projects.
- Do you work with businesses across Essex?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East of England, including Colchester and the surrounding Essex area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Colchester businesses do you usually work with?
- Suppliers needing security and compliance evidence for public-sector and defence procurement, plus student-facing services. Beyond that we work across Public Sector, Defence, Higher Education, Retail and Agriculture.
- Do you cover the areas around Colchester?
- Yes — we work throughout East of England, including Chelmsford, Canterbury, London. Colchester is an urban area of roughly 190,000+, and we take on work across the wider Essex region rather than the city boundary alone.
