Small Business Visionaries: Beyond Size with Cbeyond

There's a saying in business: "Small is beautiful." Having worked for several small businesses (and having run one myself for a short time) I can tell you that "small" is also "tough." Sometimes, small businesses want to appear larger than they really are. But many small business owners don't think they have access to the same technology as big businesses. The truth is, you do. OfficeArrow's newest partner, Cbeyond, is the one resource small businesses need to stay at the technological forefront.

In the OA community discussions, we've had several questions about how to select the right local, long-distance, mobile and Internet service provider for a small business. We've also had a few inquiries about those more advanced topics, like setting up Web hosting, data backup and VPN technology. Without an in-house IT department, these things can seem overwhelming. Where do you start? And how do you know that the company you've selected is really geared towards you - the small business? That's where Cbeyond comes in.

Cbeyond works exclusively with small business customers.They don't provide residential service and they don't service companies with more than 250 employees per location. All they do is provide local and long-distance voice, mobile and Internet services, as well as enhanced features like voicemail, email, Web hosting, data backup, file-sharing, VPN, and more to companies with 4-250 employees. This laser-like focus means they can deliver on a simple promise to small businesses - teaming with you as your communications provider and IT partner. This isn't a "one size fits all" kind of company. Cbeyond understands that every small business is unique, so they customize packages to fit your needs. And, because they offer such a wide range of products and services, you can rest assured that, as the company grows, Cbeyond will make sure your technology keeps up.

Plus, you don't have to go to multiple companies to get everything set up. Cbeyond provides you with everything you need. So that means one bill (hello, convenience!) and one customer support team (one number to call!). And customer support is the name of the game. Plus, with Cbeyond's advanced online customer management portal, CbeyondOnline, you can login and securely add and configure services, pay your bill, forward your numbers, add/delete employee email boxes and more - all in real-time via the Web, without having to speak to someone on the phone. After all, communication technology isn't your business, it's theirs!

Cbeyond is running a special deal OA members can take advantage of including FREE INSTALLATION and THREE MONTHS FREE SERVICE! That shows you right there - these folks understand the needs of small business. Right now, a deal like that is invaluable for any small business.
