Appia Partners with The Gatestone Group to Offer Managed IT and Telecom Services in Central Ohio
Appia and Gatestone team up to bring Columbus organizations a "full-blown" business phone solution for a fraction of the cost.
Columbus, OH, January 23, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Appia Communications announced today that The Gatestone Group of Columbus, Ohio, has joined Appia’s rapidly-growing nationwide network of partners. Gatestone is one of the newest partners to join Appia, a leading provider of managed IT and telecommunications services to small and midsize companies and organizations.
“Our partnership with Gatestone is a great fit,” said Jason Ulm, Appia’s vice president of sales. “We can offer customers in the Columbus area real savings in both capital and operating costs, on top of a highly reliable service delivery platform.”
Gatestone will add Appia’s proven solutions in voice, data, video and networking to its broad portfolio of services. According to John Frazier, owner of The Gatestone Group, the timing couldn’t be better.
“In this economy, where companies are watching their capital expenditures, Appia’s voice services are especially attractive for a number of reasons,” Frazier said. “They easily scale for companies from one to 1000, the implementation cost is lower than traditional premise-based phone systems, and the ongoing maintenance is included in the low monthly fee.
“Our customers will have all the benefits of a full-blown Cisco phone solution for a fraction of the cost. We are very excited about adding Appia to our portfolio.”
