MTS Allstream targets small business
Earlier this week, MTS Allstream announced a renewed focus on the small business market, beginning with Vancouver.From its press release:
In a small business, there is no IT department, no HR department. Often, it's the same person doing all of these functions, and more. Allstream Small Business is tailor-made to support just such an environment, and provide a real telecommunications choice to this market. When you add it up, customers can save some money too.The product seems to start with a premise similar to Bell's Virtual CIO offering. Based on my discussions with the product prime, the Vancouver launch will provide MTS Allstream with a controlled opportunity to see how well the bundle will work.
The sales model is based on inbound and outbound telemarketing; the idea will be for customers to be assigned their own representative, enabled by a sophisticated CRM in the back office.
MTS Allstream has 60,000 small business customers in its non-ILEC territory already, as well as 40,000 in Manitoba. While I would like to see a couple enhancements to the product bundle, this launch represents an interesting new approach for MTS Allstream.

That's funny. We used them for our local business lines in Toronto until they raised our prices by almost 70% this year. We switched to Primus.

dude... you should check them again. Their bundles are non-contracted and you can't beat the prices. I had the same thing happen to me (price hike) but I found out later that is was Bell's fault... it always comes back to Bell!!!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!
