Consolidated Communications Expands Launch of Microsoft Productivity Suite to Entire Service Area
October 08 2020 - 9:15AM
Consolidated Communications (NASDAQ: CNSL), a leading broadband and
business communications provider, today expanded the availability
of its Microsoft 365 suite of services that offer businesses an
affordable, cloud-based platform, enabling easy collaboration and
on-the-go productivity with advanced security options.
The Microsoft 365 productivity suite, now available across the
entire Consolidated service area, includes the Microsoft Teams
collaboration platform that combines video meetings, chat, file
storage and application integration. Cloud-based productivity tools
allow employees to access email, documents, contacts and calendars
using any device, wherever they may be. Microsoft Office mobile
apps including Word, Excel and PowerPoint deliver on-the-go
productivity and easy collaboration with documents stored in the
cloud.
Local #49 of the International Union of Operating Engineers
(IUOE) turned to Consolidated Communications when it needed
collaboration and productivity tools for 14,000 members across
three states. “Once COVID-19 hit, these apps allowed us to connect,
share and communicate with our staff and agents, wherever they were
and on multiple devices,” said Local #49 IT Manager Eric
Nevalainen. “Microsoft 365 is like a Swiss Army Knife - it provided
a solution whenever we were faced with the question of how to do
something in this unprecedented environment.”
“Microsoft 365 provides everything businesses need to stay
connected and be productive, whether working remotely or onsite,
and with whatever device they are using,” said Darren Peterson,
senior vice president of commercial sales at Consolidated
Communications. “And those benefits are now available to businesses
across all service areas.”
The productivity suite comes with Consolidated’s experienced and
skilled implementation technicians and streamlined, responsive
service delivery from Pax8, the leader in cloud distribution. There
are plans for businesses of every size and the comprehensive
service is all offered for one convenient, subscription-based
monthly fee with no up-front costs.About Consolidated
