Current Solutions & Services

Offnet EDI at 80 locations – sold in 3rd quarter last year for 62k MRC and have about 8 sites left to finish. 74 of these locations are Offnet and 6 are on net – they trusted us to aggregate their current and future locations. We will be adding on the remainder as they come up for renewal.

Current Opportunities

Adding MBB onto all locations as a back-up service – expect to close this summer.

Share of Wallet Monthly Recurring Charges $

We will have all sites with Comcast for EDI and Broadband. They use CDW for Hosted VoIP and Security.

Issues and/or Executive Support Requested​

The EDI / DIA solution has saved them lots of money compared to the legacy MPLS network they had with AT&T and they currently have Managed Broadband with DSR (AT&T vendor). Speaking to the CFO in terms of cost savings to move the MBB opp we have would help create urgency with the IT team to get it moving.
