“I am writing to thank CBI for lending us its telecommunication expertise to conduct a needs assessment, and help us specify and select a new telephone system for our transit system. Thanks to CBI’s work on the front end of this project, we are expecting a seamless cutover to our new telecommunications system (that meets our exact specifications and budget) in less than a month.”
