Behind the Roadmap What about Us?

Since 2001, Allied Communication has been a valued resource for businesses, large and small, as they refine their communications in search of efficiency.  Our Roadmap to the Cloud team takes our years of experience with Carrier Network Services and adds a deep understanding of Cloud and Hosted Solutions to our portfolio.  From Mobile Applications to Hosted Desktop, Hosted Voice to Infrastructure as a Service to Disaster Recovery, Allied Communication specializes in assessing the needs of your business, and matching you with the right solutions to improve your efficiency, and increase the functionality of your business.

Allied Communication was founded in 2001 by two former US West employees who thought that they could do a better job of providing customer service than the big telecommunication companies.

Our experienced staff of sales representatives and project managers works with our customers, large and small, local or distant, to tailor solutions that meet their Cloud Computing, Telecommunication, and Internet Connectivity needs, with the provider that works best for them.

We are a Cloud Computing and Telecommunications broker, and are paid a commission by the providers.We do not charge our customers for any of our services. As a broker we are able to look at offerings from many different companies to find the right match for your business. As a customer, you never pay us for our services, and you never sign a contract with Allied Communication.

We use our provider relationships to ensure that you get a price that is just as good, or lower than you could get going to the provider directly. Because we work with many providers we are able to leverage competing quotes against each other to provide the best pricing for our customers.

We understand that entrusting your data to a third party is a big deal. We only work with enterprise level suppliers, many of whom are listed in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant of Cloud providers.  These aren’t small independent companies with a server in the basement or the garage, and calling themselves Cloud providers. Our providers run state of the art data centers, with secure access, and staffed with IT and security experts to ensure the accessibility and security of your data.

These data centers are in buildings that are designed to withstand severe weather, including hurricane force winds. They are hardened facilities with ballistic-proof exteriors, including all doors and windows.  Entrances require badges or feature secure entrances with 24 hour physical security, along with camera monitoring of all door positions and badge access areas.

Fire control is a top priority in these buildings, with early warning smoke detection, clean agent fire suppression, and or dry-pipe sprinkler systems.

Most of our provider’s data centers are SSAE 16 certified  with their own NOC (Network Operation Center) as well as Battery Back-up plus stand by diesel generators with diverse 10 Gbps network backbones.  The climate control systems in these data centers ensure precise  control of temperature and humidity. HVAC units maintain the environment at a steady 72 degrees every hour, every day of the year. Humidity is strictly regulated and maintained at a consistent 45% relative humidity regardless of the outside environment.

These world class data centers cost millions of dollars to build and maintain, and are the safest possible place to secure your data.

The Telecommunication and Cloud Computing providers we work with include AT&T, Comcast, Centurylink, Evolve IP, RapidScale, Via West and many more.

Allied Communication is located in Greenwood Village, Colorado.

Here you will find a helpful repository of information and opinions on how companies are using the Cloud to grow and manage their business. Check in frequently as there are many new developments and stories to share with this exciting evolution in business management!

What is the Cloud?

Get your business prepared

Small businesses can run into a multitude of issues when it comes to information technology (IT). Issues that pop up frequently are things such as data security, licensing requirements, server maintenance, virus protection, disaster recovery, etc.

So who does all that at your company? The answer, for some of those issues, no one. For the rest, it may be an employee that is “good with computers,” a contracted IT company, on-site IT or the boss.

Unified Communications

Traditional Wired Voice services are complex. Whether your lines are wired directly to your phones, or you have PBX system that requires complex programming and maintenance. Scalability is an issue if you don't have a PBX, but a PBX is expensive, and can bring your company to it's knees if it fails. You are trying to run your business at the speed of now, can your phones keep up?

Mobile Workforce Enabled

More and more, your competitors are putting their best people in the field with the ability to execute the same, if not better, technological capabilities than they had at the office. Are you following suit?

There is a growing trend that your field team members, especially salespeople, need to be out of the office to do their job best. However, they also need to be kept up-to-date about things that are going on at the office such as important business meetings, projects and sales leads.

Disaster Recovery Business Continuity

One day your office is running smoothly, the next it is hit by an earthquake, fire, flood, power surge, tornado or hurricane. Your employees are all fine, but your data that’s been meticulously collected is lost. Can your business recover? It might, but odds aren’t good.

Desktop as a Service

Small businesses can run into a multitude of issues when it comes to information technology (IT). Issues that pop up frequently are things such as data security, licensing requirements, server maintenance, virus protection, disaster recovery, etc.
