We're all business,
but we take it very personally.
Allstream is all business: the only national communications provider in Canada focused exclusively on the business customer: large corporate enterprises public-sector organizations, the mid-market and small business. Being all business, for us, goes deeper than our broad market coverage. It's our all-business attitude: we compete for your business, and we compete hard. And here, we believe our competitive edge relates very much to the personal: how we build relationships with customers and deliver what's important to them in every way that counts.
5 Reasons for Choosing Allstream
1. We're big enough to deliver, small enough to care.
Allstream is a big company. As a national provider, we have network reach and reliability, an extensive solutions portfolio, a large customer base, world-class technology partners, and 3,000 skilled employees across Canada. We have a track record of success over many decades. At the same time, we're also a small company: easy to deal with, agile, flexible, entrepreneurial and innovative. By working with Allstream, you get the advantages of a big and small company that really wants to compete for your business and earn your loyalty.
2. We talk business solutions first, then technology.
When we talk to customers, the best conversations don't start with what we sell, but with what we solve. What we do best is solve real problems for real businesses. So the more we understand your business -- the more we listen to you -- the more effective we are. And on that basis, then we recommend solutions and services from our world-class portfolio of communications and collaboration capabilities, provided across our 30,000-kilometre national broadband network.
3. We're experienced at innovation, and always looking ahead.
Allstream has a great track record as an innovator, and being first-to-market in emerging areas of converged IP networking, delivering Canada's first MPLS IP-VPN and IP Trunking installations. Innovation is much more than being first. It's how we innovate in the real world of our customers to deliver value that will strengthen their businesses. That's where the fun is. So we're always looking ahead, working with disruptive technologies, innovating to deliver customer value.
4. We simplify complexity and deliver reliability.
Technological complexity is increasing, even as it's getting simpler to actually use or manage a communications service these days. What's more, as customers keep demanding more mobility, security and functionality, the complexity of our solutions will keep increasing. One of our strengths is integrating, managing and lowering the risk of solutions complexity. No matter how complex our services are technologically, or challenging to integrate in your business, our goal is to simplify that complexity for you while delivering reliability that lets you sleep at night.
5. We give customers choices for creating value on their terms.
Allstream is a provider that, over many years, has thrived by offering customers more choice, by providing alternatives where none existed, like we did in the early days of long distance competition. Today we give customers choices in how they use our solutions to address a multitude of business challenges. We give customers choices in how they interact with us and are supported. We give customers choices in how they structure business terms and actually pay us. We believe that choice, in the end, creates value for customers on terms they define.
