Notes:
Use this presentation to introduce XO Communications to existing customers as well as prospects. This presentation communicates XO Communications’ capabilities and our business strategy with a focus on delivering a superior customer experience. The presentation is designed to communicate the foundation of our brand. We differentiate ourselves by providing a superior customer experience that is based on the passionate commitment of our employees, our IP services expertise and the proven, reliable performance of our advanced network.
Virtually every company we work with, regardless of size, regardless of function….IT, Finance, Operations….they’re all facing the same pressure: grow revenue and productivity at the same time – grow the business and do it with fewer resources or dollars than you had last year.
For IT leadership, you’re always looking for ways to create differentiation, or to improve productivity – using increased automation, cloud computing, unified communications, BYOD, social media, etc..
But these opportunities also carry risks, particularly in the areas of security, compliance, and business continuity. The challenge, particularly for the IT organization, is to cost-effectively balance the potential these new capabilities present while also mitigating the downside risk to your business and your customers.
Companies tend to focus on the upside while not preparing for potentially negative outcomes, leaving the largest challenge – “the unknown” – essentially unaddressed.
What’s the impact of that unknown? What might happen if you’re not prepared for it? What’s the next big “gotcha” and is your business adequately prepared for it?
Purpose:
This slide provides the central value proposition of XO: Solutions You Want. Support You Need.
Notes:
At XO Communications, we believe what makes us different and better is that we offer a superior customer experience. We do this by delivering:
The Solutions You Want. We offer advanced data and IP solutions that are right for your business. Not only do we offer the key voice, network and IT infrastructure services your business needs, but we design our services to be flexible so you don’t have to change to work with us. All of our solutions are designed so you can easily converge services over one network with pricing that is simple and easy to understand.
The Support You Need. With XO, you’re not just buying cutting edge technology; you’re getting the people behind it. That’s what we mean with “Support you need”. From day one, you have a dedicated account team and personal client services manager that is there to support you every step of the way – from the time we design your solution and through installation to our customer portal (the XO Business Center) and personal Client Services Manager to helping plan for your future needs.
Lastly, we know it’s not just what we deliver that’s important, but how we deliver it. And that’s why we’ve built one of the most advanced networks in the industry. We’ve designed our transport and IP networks with the latest technology from Cisco, Ciena, Infinera and Juniper Networks. That’s why our network can support billion of minutes of VoIP traffic every month and is trusted to carry the internet traffic of the largest cable and mobile wireless companies. Whether your need basic connectivity for your branch offices, 40 Gbps connectivity for your data centers or application aware MPLS network services, we offer the performance your company needs.
Purpose:

Notes:
XO Communications is a leading communications company headquartered in Herndon, Virginia (a suburb of Washington, DC). We offer a comprehensive portfolio of IP communications, managed network and hosted IT services over one of the most advanced networks in the industry. Our extensive network reach enables us to most major cities across the United States and can connect your business to more than 50 countries around the world.
XO is a large company, but not too large. We have approximately $1.5 billion in revenue and more than 3,200 employees nationwide. We believe our size means less bureaucracy, which means we can act and make decisions faster to support our customers better.
We are focused only on businesses and wholesale customers. We feel that many of our larger competitors don’t have that focus because they have to compete in many markets, like residential, wireless, small business, medium-business, enterprise and wholesale markets.
Our customers include many of the most recognized brands, and more than 50% of the Fortune 500 has entrusted their mission-critical communications and networks to XO. We support companies across many major verticals, including financial services, healthcare, media & entertainment, retail and telecommunications industries.
This success is all possible because of what everyone at XO is most passionate about - providing the best customer experience in the industry.
Purpose:
This slide presents information on how XO is ranked in the industry.
