Featured Business Spotlight: Excellent Opportunity in Telecommunications Consulting

July 23rd, 2009

Read the owner’s own words that explain what sets this firm apart from the competition:

“Our company was established in August 1983. Our business objective is to provide totally independent telecommunications consulting services in the rapidly changing and expanding Information Age. We have provided unbiased, client-oriented consulting services to a wide range of business, government, and healthcare clients during our many years in business.

We have been privileged to have many clients who have used our services on an as needed basis throughout the years. For example, we have completed numerous projects for one large client since 1985. Our staff has ranged from two to six members, depending upon the number of in-house client projects.

We have several subcontracting arrangements that we use on an “as needed” basis. We have completed many projects for the Federal Court System, Service Organizations, Manufacturers, E911 Centers, Healthcare, as well as others across a wide variety of business segments.

Our business has remained stable, and has progressed to the extent that I desire as the owner and founder. We have changed and evolved to meet the ever-changing technologies that have developed over the years.

We have an outstanding, ethical reputation in the business, and have become extremely well established in the Healthcare industry – this has been our main focus over the past several years.

We have the respect and experience necessary in the marketplace to continue to be successful under new ownership.”
