Slappey Communications acquires RevTel and Presidium Networks:

Slappey Communications is pleased to announce the acquisition of two successful telecommunication companies, Presidium Networks in Lakeland Florida, and VOLstate/RevTel in Dayton Tennessee. Acquiring these two companies allows Slappey to expand further than just local businesses, but to the entire Southeast.

Slappey was founded in 1983 by Bill Slappey and is now run by his son Will Slappey and Slappey continues to grow as the leading provider of technology and telecommunications to businesses. The acquisition of these two companies happened within the last six months, and Slappey’s vision to be the best hosted PBX and Managed IT has been enhanced.

 “We are very excited for the future of RevTel. Our customers will be well served by the combined company as Slappey brings added resources and personnel, which will help us continue to serve our growing customer base. Slappey adds approximately 50 new employees to augment RevTel’s local staff.  Like RevTel, Slappey has many years of experience serving the technology and telecommunications needs of small businesses,” said David Snyder, CEO of RevTel.

Slappey has the personnel and financial resources to move RevTel and Presidium to the next level. From this acquisition, Slappey will offer these two companies new services, expansion of their reach and construction of a fast-growing organization. Customers will continue to be served by their local technology company, Slappey, RevTel, or Presidium, staff whom they know and trust. 

 “We wanted to find a partner that can continue the service tradition that we have built over the last 24 years at RevTel.  Slappey has been doing similar work in Birmingham, AL since 1983, so the match is great.  The people at Slappey are super to work with and we look forward to helping grow the company.”

RevTel has a Dayton office at 278 1st Ave.

Presidium has a Lakeland office at 624 Mid-Florida Dr.

Outsourcing: an overview

Outsourcing: an overview Outsourcing today simply involves using external entities to handle specific, specialized business functions so that organizations can focus on their core competencies. The idea of seeking outside support for areas that are not core to a business is many decades old. However, seeking support from external providers can make a lot of sense, especially in fields that involve considerable complexity. One example, as human resources becomes increasingly complex practice, especially in areas that involve often complex and arcane laws such as benefits and employment law, many smaller companies are increasingly outsourcing some or all of their HR tasks. IT is another example. Like human resources, IT covers a wide range of specialties, for which no one or two individuals can possibly hope to be fully versed in. As the CEO of a small- to medium-sized firm, or perhaps a line manager, why should you consider outsourcing all or part of the IT function? One immediate rea

Can you do this at home?

Can you do this at home? Outsourcing HR, real estate portfolio management, tax audits, etc is fairly common nowadays. This whitepaper discusses another function which, when outsourced, can bring greater efficiency and effectiveness to your business’s overall functioning--IT. IT is one of the core functions of any business. There’s no aspect of a business that is untouched by IT. Outsourcing IT is a big decision and it is not surprising that many organizations choose to manage their IT in-house rather than relying on outsourcing. However, outsourcing your IT to a managed service provider offers numerous benefits. Availability Depending on your service level agreement with the MSP, you get access to an IT team 24/7 when you bring a managed service provider on board. With your in-house IT team there will be days when some of them may be on a vacation or an unexpected day off. You also probably cannot justify 24/7 internal IT support, even though your IT needs to run 24/7. All of these cha

So, what is this “Unified Communications” thing, anyhow? Have you heard the term unified communications tossed around lately? It seems to be used a lot in IT, telecomm, and work collaboration circles. Unified communications is a newer concept that refers to a conceptual platform where multiple communications channels can join together to increase productivity and facilitate collaboration. Here’s one way to look at it. Imagine that you only own one car. And imagine it is a sporty two seater. And then imagine you decide to invite five of your friends, none of whom are able to drive, out to dinner. This means you would have to pick each one up separately and drive him or her to the restaurant. And of course, one of them lives down an old rough farm road, so you have to drive very slowly so you don’t damage the underside of your expensive little two seater. This scenario is pretty similar to the way we handle business communications today. We aren't able to just throw everyone together
