Why TierPoint
A leading national provider of hybrid IT solutions, TierPoint helps organizations drive performance and manage risk. No U.S. provider comes close to matching TierPoint’s unique combination of thousands of clients; more than 40 edge-capable data centers and 8 multitenant cloud pods coast to coast; and a comprehensive portfolio of cloud solutions, colocation, disaster recovery, security, and other managed IT services.
Our biggest challenges were compliance, travel for our IT staff, and the ownership trust factor in terms of moving our mission-critical infrastructure to an outside provider. In the end, it really came down to a matter of trust.
