MONTREAL – Videotron has created a new division within Videotron ltee after integrating Videotron Telecom.
The two companies were merged on January 1, 2006 and Videotron Business Solutions, has been created within Videotron.
Videotron Business Solutions provides a full line of business telecommunications services: telephony, high-speed data transmission, Internet access, hosting and cable television. It serves businesses, public agencies, and other providers of telecommunications services in Canada and does about the same thing the former, separate, company did, but with a broader mandate to go after smaller businesses.
For more than 16 years, Videotron Telecom has been primarily a provider of telecom services to large businesses. In its new incarnation as Videotron Business Solutions, the organization now offers a wider range of services to small and medium-sized businesses.
"Videotron Business Solutions delivers services tailored to the specific needs of business people," said Jean Novak, president, Videotron Business Solutions, in a release. "We provide personalized support and one-stop shopping for all business telecom needs."
“The merger of Videotron Telecom Ltd. and Videotron ltee also makes it possible to combine the two organizations’ best management practices and distinct areas of expertise. The process has already begun to yield results, such as the accelerated roll-out of residential cable telephone service by Videotron ltee in 2005,” adds the press release.
Videotron has over 100,000 residential telephony customers.
