Comcast Business has announced a new Enterprise Services Unit, which will target Fortune 1000 Companies and other large enterprises. This new unit will offer companies a portfolio of solutions that include Broadband, Ethernet, Voice, Router, Security, Business Continuity and Wi-Fi.
“We’re committed to expanding and enhancing our offerings for businesses of all sizes, and having the expertise, tools and portfolio in place to deliver customized service packages to nationwide enterprises is a key part of our growth strategy,” Bill Stemper, president of Comcast Business, said in a statement. “Large companies need a provider who can help them manage complex networks, develop business continuity plans and integrate cloud-based applications. Our entry into this segment of the market will introduce new innovation and choice.”
Comcast Business has already signed large customers from multiple industries, including financial services firms, banks, hospitality chains and retailers. Technology industry veteran Glenn Katz, formerly the CEO of SpaceNet Inc., will lead the new group within Comcast Business.
To help Comcast Business support these national accounts, it recently acquired Contingent Network Services, a national technology deployment and managed services company. The company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Comcast Business and will continue to operate under the Contingent brand name.
Comcast Business has an annual run-rate of more than $4.5 billion.
