To execute a strategic plan these cutting edge companies realize they need a solid core team that have the skillset to propel the company forward.  Companies are now looking beyond the city limits for this talent and realizing, with the help of technology, there are no geographical boundaries to finding the right employees.  Tech giants like IBM, Bunchball, and others are looking to hire outside of their state of origin for talent.

Collaboration is fostered with the use of these platforms and it really doesn’t matter in the end where the employee sits.  But in order to run these types of programs, there needs to be a very strong broadband backbone to keep these connections running in real time.  Without the right of amount of bandwidth to power these practices, communication on all levels will come to a halt.  Gigabit+ Fiber Solutions from Mediacom Business is delivering the connectivity businesses need to bring together all company locations.  With advanced custom services like Transparent LAN, companies can seamlessly connect point-to-point and multi-point Ethernet networks together no matter where they are. All employees are able to work off the same server, accessing and sharing data in a matter of seconds.
