Teledvance Communications Changes Name to Smoothstone IP Communications
Louisville, Ky (November 17, 2005) — Teledvance Communications, a provider of IP communications solutions to medium–sized enterprises, today announced is official name change to Smoothstone IP Communications.
“This new name better reflects the company we have become,” said Paul Borgman, CEO of Smoothstone IP Communications. “When we founded Teledvance Communications in 2000, making a telephone call using Internet Protocol (IP) was an advanced idea. Now, we offer so much more — truly all–inclusive, fully managed and totally transparent data, voice and video communication solutions, including VoIP, as well as WAN management solutions — all over a private, converged, nationwide network.”
“Mid–size enterprises need and want the same IP–based communication benefits the Fortune 1000 are beginning to enjoy,” said Jeff Wellemeyer, CTO and chairman of Smoothstone. “However, they don´t have the same level of resources and expertise with which to deploy them. We offer them “one vendor, one bill” simplicity for all of their data, voice and video communications needs, including ongoing 24/7 technical support, connectivity and hardware.”
Smoothstone provides comprehensive IP communications solutions specifically tailored for the mid–size enterprise, using a professional services approach, a proprietary IP communications platform and an outsourced, managed services delivery model. It also provides the private, nationwide and converged network infrastructure over which the communications travel. The result: IP communications specifically tailored each of Smoothstone´s individual client´s needs.
“We selected the name “Smoothstone” because it best reflects our offerings,” said Russ Maney, vice president of marketing for Smoothstone. “Over the last 5 years, our IP solutions have been “market-hardened” and have worked very smoothly for our clients — with reliability in excess of 99.999%. They are like a stone smoothed by the elements and time, while offering the latest features and efficiencies. This name change comes at a very exciting time for our company, as we have successfully completed our growth capital funding campaign earlier this year and were named the second fastest growing private company in the Louisville area last month. Now, with our new name in place, we´re ready for our upcoming, aggressive, national sales and marketing program to further accelerate our growth.”
