Con J. Franke Electric is using Comcast Business' (NASDAQ:CMCSA) Ethernet network to power its hosted virtual desktop environment and provide employees with high-speed Internet service at its Stockton, CA, office, as well as on the road.
Con J. Franke recently outsourced its IT operations Point 1 IT, which upgraded the utility's network by moving all servers and computers to its hosted cloud service. Comcast is providing a 100 Mbps Ethernet Private Line, 20 Mbps Ethernet Dedicated Internet service, Business VoiceEdge cloud-based voice and unified communications (UC) solution, and Comcast Business Internet for redundancy and guest WiFi.
"Our employees are always out in the field, and, prior to Comcast, they struggled to connect to a slow VPN connection that just did not allow for effective information sharing," said Barry Frain, president of Con J. Franke. "With increased capacity from Comcast's network, our workers now benefit from fast Internet speeds in the office and have full access to their desktops at any location. Not only has Comcast helped us enhance the user experience for our staff, but we've been able to better service our customers as well."
