TBayTel Now “Single-source” Provider for Managed IT and Communications Services for Businesses in Thunder Bay & Northern Ontario Region
Canada (Press Release) October 19, 2007 --
The Utility Company™, the leading provider of information technology (IT) as a utility to small and medium-sized businesses (SMB), today announced a partnership with TBayTel, the largest independently-held regional telecommunications provider in Canada.
The Utility Company was founded to address the two major problems plaguing businesses today:
• Over-Spending – the fact that the average business spends $360 per user per month on technology for an industry total of $400 billion annually.
• Under-Utilization – unfortunately only 15% of this investment in technology is actually utilized.
Technology convergence including network/desktop, business applications, Web/Internet, copier/printer and telecommunications provides businesses with an increasing desire to consolidate (or converge) their suppliers. To deliver on its “single-source” provider vision, The Utility Company partners with leading service organizations in the IT and vertical channels, such as telecom providers, across 2000 exclusive markets in North America.
“TBayTel is the ‘standard’ for business communications services in Northern Ontario with thousands of SMB customers in their region, so obviously we are pleased to have passed their extensive due diligence and been chosen as their key partner for managed services,” stated Mark Scott, President of The Utility Company. “Having spent the last several months together building a business plan, we are looking forward to the roll-out of our services to businesses in TBayTel’s region. We are very excited about our partnership and the prospects of bringing our “single-source” provider solution to the Thunder Bay market for the coming years.”
“My team and I have launched a new phase of growth for TBayTel in Northern Ontario. To achieve key strategic objectives, we are focused on: the consistent delivery of high quality customer service; innovation; and unparalleled expansion in services and in service area. We have identified Managed IT Services as a complement to our Business Solutions suite and a key growth area for our company,” stated Peter Diedrich, President and CEO of TBayTel. “The Utility Company represents the most complete solution set available to us today on the market. Their vision of utility computing and virtualization is at the forefront of where the market is going in the near future.”
Building on the success of its Beyond Managed Services franchise system, The Utility Company developed the “Powered By Utility” program for telecom providers, like TBayTel, along with large resellers and retailers, to offer its Connected Office managed/utility IT services portfolio on a monthly subscription basis to current and prospective SMB customers. While the managed services industry continues to evolve with various versions of “Do-it-Yourself” programs from vendors and distributors, many IT and vertical service providers are now turning to The Utility Company as a better alternative.
