Minneapolis-Based Bob Lake, LLC Relies on Cbeyond to Work Virtually, Secure Critical Data
ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)– In his role as an IT consultant, Chris Thompson had experience working with multiple IT and communications services vendors — often at the same time and frequently with less than stellar results. When he joined Minneapolis-based Bob Lake, LLC, an apparel company that creates “wearable conservation,” as the company’s technology officer, Thompson’s first priority was selecting a reliable technology services provider that focused on delivering excellent customer service and offered multiple applications designed to boost productivity.
Thompson selected Cbeyond (NASDAQ:CBEY, news, filings), (www.cbeyond.net/smb), a leading provider of IT and communications services to small businesses across the country, for its mobile, broadband connectivity and data backup services.
“Our team of six employees needs the ability to conduct business from anywhere at anytime,” said Thompson. “With Cbeyond’s mobile service, we stay connected to the office, including sending and receiving important files. This flexibility has been critical as it allows us to focus on our marketing efforts and getting the word out about our exciting online retail company.”
Bob Lake’s apparel includes a variety of clothing lines such as Silver Carp and Ms. Quagga. The items, which include t-shirts and caps for men and women, serve as walking billboards to support the company’s conservation efforts. In fact, a percentage of proceeds of each sale go back to protecting and restoring the country’s water habitats.
“We are conservation crusaders and stopping the spread of aquatic invasive species is a huge mission of our company,” Thompson said. “With Cbeyond, we are able to work more efficiently — whether we are in or out of the office. Cbeyond is also extremely proactive with its customer service and sales efforts, offering solutions that will help us expand our business and spend less time focusing on IT needs.”
Because of his IT experience, Thompson also realized the importance of selecting an IT and communications services company that delivered enterprise-grade security solutions — in the event of a man-made or natural disaster.
“Cbeyond knows that ensuring business continuity is extremely important for our small business customers,” said Brent Cobb, Cbeyond’s chief customer officer. “Our full suite of security solutions have been designed to help businesses like Bob Lake LLC be assured that they will not have downtime and will remain productive, even in the face of unforeseen disasters or interruptions.”
