Big Moves Being Made By Telarus | Tie-up with Cbeyond & Earthlink | New Facility

New Headquarters

Not long ago, Telarus Inc. announced it was moving its corporate office to Sandy, Utah's Centennial Plaza Tower. The move has been in the works for some time now; it took over one year for the executive team to find the ideal location – and even more time after that to tear down and then custom build the space for large-scale telecommunications management per Telarus' exact specifications. The master agency's new 6,000 sq. ft. office space boasts 10 executive offices, a break room, software development room, idea room, board room, agent training room and a support operations center (SOC) equipped with LCD screens.

Patrick Oborn, Co-founder of Telarus noted that, when sitting down with the architects, his team knew that brainstorming, accounting, software development, agent training and sales support were key company areas that would require their own dedicated spaces. Oborn has been thrilled with the results, reporting that, "Since making the move, we have seen a spike in productivity, morale, and most of all, in agents coming to spend time with us in our new headquarters

New Deal with Cbeyond

Around the same time Telarus moved into its new headquarter location, the master agency also signed an agreement with Cbeyond, a provider of communications and IT services to small business throughout the United States that serves over 60,000 small business customers. To prepare for the launch, Cbeyond's solutions, including local and long-distance voice services, data T1, integrated T1, bonded T1, and more were added into Telarus' real-time online quoting system GeoQuote, which is used by agents to research price and availability.

The new deal is expected to help boost the master agency's move into cloud services, and enables Telarus agents to sell Cbeyond's business data, voice, and cloud-based managed services to SMBs. Telarus' VP of sales, Robert Butler, added that, "with the help of Cbeyond's renowned training system, we look forward to education our partners and helping them expand their sales capabilities into new and exciting areas of growth."

New Deal with EarthLink

Shortly after Telarus signed a new deal with Cbeyond, the master agency announced it had joined Telecom Consulting Group, World Telecom Group, X4 Solutions and Telephony Partners and signed EarthLink Business' new nationwide Channel Partner agreement. The updated agreement enables Telarus agents to sell all EarthLink Business managed, data and voice services nationwide.

In a press statement, Adam Edwards, President of Telarus stated, "The addition of the EarthLink Business southeastern network, which we previously could not source, combined with the rollout of the new EarthLink Complete nationwide voice and data IP service and its new managed services platform, is a welcome addition to our portfolio."
