Spotlight on Business
Every other month, the Chamber profiles one or more members who
have made substantial contributions. This month, we shine the spotlight
on the member below:
Comcast
Comcast, an industry leader of high-speed data communications, operates through a nationwide fiber-optic network. This robust service-delivery backbone allows Comcast to provide a streamlined, end-to-end provisioning process for faster scalability and delivery solutions. Local access is delivered entirely over the Comcast-built and-operated network, making it faster and easier to access than its competitors.
One benefit Comcast Business Services offers clients is Comcast Workplace. Workplace provides powerful and flexible Internet options, allowing professionals to take their businesses to the next level. Comcast recently announced an increase of speeds that now reach up to 8 Mbps downloads and up to 1 Mbps uploads. Comcast Workplace is faster than DSL and dial-up, so business executives can receive information online the moment they need it. Workplace also offers customizable options including static IP addresses, business website hosting and business-class e-mail. Although Comcast is a national provider, it has a local technical support staff that is specifically trained to handle all major operating systems. This highly skilled customer support staff is available to clients 24/7.
Comcast also offers businesses a telecommuter solution. Comcast Teleworker is designed for companies with off-site employees, making life easy for those employees and their administrators. For work-at-home professionals, Teleworker provides an online experience that rivals being in an office. It features a custom VPN, allowing employees to manage their own security and user-access policies, and provides business-class support, a dedicated account team and a high-speed Internet connection that is always on.
