Acquisition of selected customers drives volume density in key markets in the United States
ATLANTA, Ga. – October 5, 2015 – Birch Communications, Inc., (“Birch”) a leading technology service provider of IP-based communications, broadband, cloud and IT services to small, mid-sized, enterprise and wholesale businesses, announced today that it has completed the asset acquisition of certain customers from Sage Telecom (Sage) in a 12-state area.
This asset acquisition is comprised of a less-than substantial amount of Sage’s total assets and it will continue to operate as a local exchange carrier in other geographic areas.
This customer acquisition further solidifies Birch’s geographic reach across the Southwest, Southeast and Midwest areas of the U.S.; adding density in key markets across the Birch customer footprint which now extends to all 50 U.S. states, Washington DC, Canada, and Puerto Rico.
“We are excited to welcome these former Sage customers to the Birch family,” said Vincent M. Oddo, President and CEO at Birch. “They are a great fit for us and we are proud and eager to introduce these customers to our award-winning customer care and our expanded product portfolio.”
Customers within these territories have access to a comprehensive product portfolio, nationwide service footprint and award-winning customer care. Beyond basic phone and broadband services, Birch has the ability to provide symmetric internet such as T1, Ethernet over Copper and Metro-Fiber technologies — all solutions that can be used in combination with MPLS. Together with its feature-rich TotalCloud® PBX, TotalCloud® Data Center and TotalCloud® File Storage solutions, Birch has all of the technology that business and residential customers need from one provider.
Redwood Capital Group, a leading investment banking firm focused on the technology, media and communications sectors, served as exclusive financial advisor to Sage Telecom on this transaction.
