COCO Members Benefit from the High-speed,
Reliable and Scalable Communications Solutions Needed to Grow their
Business
Comcast Business today announced an expanded relationship with
COCO, a Minnesota- and Chicago-based provider of shared workspaces,
meeting venues, coworking memberships, and educational and social
events, to further advance business growth and innovation for
entrepreneurs and small businesses based in Minneapolis, St. Paul
and Chicago. Through this collaboration, even the smallest of
organizations can now take advantage of enterprise-class
telecommunications services from Comcast Business as part of their
COCO membership.
In 2013, Comcast Business kicked off its partnership with COCO
by providing 1 Gigabit-per-second (Gbps) Ethernet Dedicated
Internet connections at its downtown building in the historic
Minneapolis Grain Exchange as well as its Uptown Minneapolis site.
Today, Comcast Business’ 1 Gbps Ethernet speeds are the standard
across COCO’s five locations – three in Minneapolis, one in St.
Paul and one in Chicago – enabling all of its members to benefit
from superior speeds as well as scalable, secure and reliable
network performance.
“Small businesses in the nascent stages often don’t have the
resources for office space and cutting-edge communications
services, so they turn to us to help them make their business
aspirations a reality,” said Kyle Coolbroth, CEO and co-founder of
COCO. “As such, it’s vital that we offer our members innovative
amenities that support the work they are doing and a way to help
scale their business. From a technology perspective, Comcast
Business enables us to provide members with the fast internet
speeds and advanced telecommunications solutions for success.”
In addition to Gigabit Ethernet, Comcast’s Business VoiceEdge™,
an easy-to-use, cloud-based voice solution, is installed within
private phone booths across COCO’s four Minnesota locations. Rather
than relying on mobile phones, COCO members can now use the hosted
system, complete with professional conference phone features, to
conduct business. Comcast Business VoiceEdge also facilitates
seamless communication for COCO staff across locations.
Furthermore, Comcast’s video services keep COCO members
up-to-date on breaking news and current events, and enable COCO to
bring its entrepreneurial community together through themed events,
such as holiday movie marathons.
“Together with COCO, we are exceeding the business needs of
entrepreneurs by allowing even a one-person startup to benefit from
enterprise-level communications services without the associated
cost,” said Kalyn Hove, vice president of Comcast Business, Twin
Cities Region. “By leveraging advanced internet, voice and video
services, COCO members can run their business faster, better and
more efficiently. Most importantly, they are empowered with the
tools they need to compete with their larger counterparts and stand
out in a highly competitive market.”
