The Utility Company® Announces First O.C. Franchise

Jan. 13, 2010 - PRLog -- Anaheim, California – The Utility Company announces the opening of the first Orange County franchise located in Anaheim and covering the North Orange County area. By adding Utility’s Connected Office services for small and medium-sized (SMB) businesses, customers can benefit from enterprise-level IT services & protection at prices smaller organizations can easily afford.

The Utility Company was founded to address the two major problems plaguing businesses today:

• Over-Spending – the fact that the average business spends $360 per user per month on technology for an industry total of $400 billion annually.

• Under-Utilization – unfortunately only 15% of this investment in technology is actually utilized.

Mike Patel will head up a new Anaheim office to serve customers in the North Orange County market and said “We are going through a fundamental shift in how technology is utilized and our goal is to help businesses migrate their technology requirements to cloud computing as their business platform, save money and transform their business model through The Utility Company”

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 Patel, Utility 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 – receiving immediate technology support from certified Network Technicians from a North American Network Operations Center. With an ever-growing list of vertical and virtual business technology solutions, small and medium-sized businesses in the North Orange County area can now finally experience A NEW WAY of looking at technology support and service.
