ABOUT US
YOUR PARTNER FOR THE LONG HAUL.
connecTel, Inc. and connecTel Wireless, Inc. are national telecommunications, cloud, security, and wireless management, consulting, and brokerage firms headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Our objective is to assist clients in improving their technology infrastructure while reducing overall expenses. We accomplish this task by introducing the latest technology, eliminating inefficient and unneeded services, and providing the best possible pricing to service quality ratio that meets the customer’s specified requirements.
WE IMPROVE YOUR TECHNOLOGY
WHILE REDUCING COSTS.
OUR HISTORY
connecTel, Inc. began business in 2000 with two employees, and has grown to almost 30 employees and a large network of valued partners. In addition to growing in size, connecTel has also grown tremendously in their product and service portfolio. Initially, Verizon represented a large portion of connecTel’s business. Today we represent more than 300 vendors in both the telecom, cloud, security, and wireless industries and offer services that cover the entire technology spectrum.
In 2004 connecTel Wireless, Inc. was formed to deal exclusively with wireless products and services. While connecTel Wireless is similar in structure and shares a common ownership team with connecTel, they have a separate sales and customer support team to deal with the unique nuances of the wireless industry.
CORPORATE OVERVIEW
connecTel, Inc. and connecTel Wireless, Inc. are privately held corporations with active owners who are fully engaged in running the companies. The companies have been able to grow and succeed by encouraging employees to be responsive to client needs. The owners also strongly encourage and conduct ongoing training sessions to ensure employees have the most up-to-date information available in this quickly changing industry. All of this leads to a very low customer attrition rate, which contributes greatly to our success.
OUR STAFF
Our staff is the number one reason for our success. The customer support team is comprised of individuals that have a strong work ethic and a genuine concern for resolving client issues. The sales staff has many years of experience in the technology industry and an in-depth knowledge of the products they sell. Both teams work closely together to ensure clients receive exceptional service and timely results. Plus, all employees attend regular training sessions and are cross-trained on other areas of the company. This training regimen allows each individual employee to understand the entire scope of a project and the customer’s needs.
