(HOUSTON) – Small and medium-sized businesses looking for information technology solutions in Texas now have a one-stop option in Houston, with the opening of a new Houston partner office for The Utility Company.
Kevin Berry is launching the Houston office for the IT service provider, which serves a number of companies throughout North America. As a local point of contact, Berry will provide on-site consulting for business IT needs that go beyond the managed services makeup typical of many local IT service providers.
In addition to the Houston office, Eric Lambiase will head up a new Austin office to serve customers in that Texas market.
The Utility Company bills itself as “a leading provider of virtual IT service and support for small and medium-sized businesses, delivering the required hardware, software and service for a monthly fixed fee per user.”
Through its Connected Office® service program, The Utility Company “provides a single point of contact to deliver and manage technology, communications and vertical line of business applications – 95% Remote; 100% Proactive. Customers are supported by local Utility Service Providers delivering on-site service and business-technology consulting to reduce spending and increase utilization.”
According to Lambiase, Utility Company customers have an advantage over customers of locally-based IT consultants, by being able to access The Utility Company’s centralized, toll-free help desk, serving Utility Company’s North American customers from a North American Network Operations Center.
The Network Operations Center, with a team of skilled personnel utilizing state-of-the-
While The Utility Company can and does handle maintenance and repair of existing IT systems, the Utility Company specializes in assessment of a company’s current technology resources, and implementation of action plans to maximize productivity and technological potential.
By becoming part of The Utility Company, the new Houston team will be able to offer an ideal solution for businesses concerned with their technology needs. The team is able to meet with Houston business owners and management teams in person, and assess a company’s current technology systems face-to-face – yet bring in an entire team of specialists as needed, available with just a simple phone call.
“It’s a hybrid that serves small and medium-sized businesses well,” Berry added. “The Utility Company allows a level of IT support that has previously been more typical of what large businesses can afford, yet we can serve as a single, familiar point of contact for business people to call and consult with.”
Initially, both Berry and Lambiase will focus on outreach to businesses in Houston and Austin, respectively, though both are available to consult with companies headquartered in other parts of Texas.
