Helps Businesses Keep Up with Internet Technology

Get it done faster…Keep up with the competition…Yesterday isn't soon enough…Change with the times…

It's tough enough being a small or medium-sized business in today's competitive marketplace. But when corporations quickly embrace rapidly changing technology, it can leave smaller businesses struggling to keep up.

That's why a group of telecommunications professionals has launched the T1 Company. The T1 Company, based in Cleveland, OH, helps small to medium-sized companies harness the power of technology to compete head-to-head with larger corporations.

"I think smaller businesses can really lose out in the technology game," says Gene Denman, T1 Company president. "Too often there's such a wide gap in large telephone companies between the technology that exists and the way the sales force communicates that technology to its business customers."

Denman -- who most recently was a director for the Extant Corporation (purchased in 2000 by Dynergy) - says the key to the T1 Company's success will be to communicate the benefits of a technology called Internet Protocol (IP) and to effectively put IP to use for clients.

"I strongly believe that IP transmission technology eventually will become the transport mechanism for all voice, data and video media within a business and that it will be T1 lines or greater that will carry all the traffic," Denman adds.

The T1 Company provides its customers with reliable and affordable broadband connections at T1 speeds. The company tailors its services to meet client needs. Services include:

	high speed internet access;
	point-to-pointed leased lines;
	collocation;
	virtual private networks;
	firewall security services; and
	complete web and email applications.

The company has partnered with Qwest Communications as its primary IP provider. T1 also has a partnership with The Compass Alliance, a Cleveland-based data consulting and telecommunications management company.

The T1 Company's Northeast Ohio resources are located within a highly secure, environmentally controlled carrier class collocation facility. All equipment is housed in a locked cabinet, monitored by video around the clock, and is protected by environmental and fire detection systems. For more information visit.
