The Planet Forges Partnership with Managed Services Provider TechAssist
2008-02-02
HOUSTON, Jan. 30, 2008 — The Planet, the world’s largest privately held
dedicated hosting company, today announced a new partnership for its Microsoft
SBS Partner Program with award-winning managed services provider TechAssist (www.techassistllc.com).
With offices in Washington, D.C., and Pittsburgh, TechAssist provides hosted
managed services to its clients that include national associations, law firms,
financial services companies and medical offices, all focused on providing
professional services. In rankings out this week, MSPmentor.Net -- a media
outlet that focuses on the managed services market -- named TechAssist to its
global list of the Top 100 Managed Services Providers.
Through its “True Technology Management” services, TechAssist offers complete
enterprise-class IT solutions for small- and medium-sized businesses, previously
available only in large companies with enormous technology teams. The company
brings together the monitoring and remote support of a managed services
provider, the onsite support of an IT outsourcing company, and the strategic
guidance of a technology consultant in one convenient, fixed-price plan, which
can be scaled to fit any business.
“Our clients rely on TechAssist to provide solid, uninterrupted service around
the clock,” said TechAssist CEO Nick Vossburg. “The Planet’s new Microsoft SBS
partner program provides us with the applications our customers require, backed
by its world-class network and data centers.”
“Our Microsoft SBS partner program was designed for companies like TechAssist
that clearly understand the SMB market and the value of the managed services
model,” said James P. Treuting, vice president of sales and operations with The
Planet. “TechAssist provides its clients with services previously available only
in enterprise-size organizations with big IT teams. Nick Vossburg and his team
retain management and deliver value-added services to their clients, backed by
our world-class network, data centers and support.”
CEO Nick Vossburg will deliver an address titled “Infrastructure Solutions of
the Future: Hosted Networks” at this week’s national meeting of the American
Society of Association Executives. The Association Technology Conference & Expo
will be held Jan. 30 - Feb. 1 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in
Washington, D.C. The conference offers sessions on technology breakthroughs that
help to transform IT operations for associations.
TechAssist recently announced the opening of a new operations center in
Pittsburgh that includes a remote-support call center, training facilities and
back office functions.
