Since 1974
In 1974, Bob 巴黎人贵宾厅 started one of the first telecom companies in the Midwest after the breakup of the AT&T monopoly: Telephone Specialists. It began as a family company, created to install, repair, and maintain telephone systems and set itself apart through an emphasis on high-touch customer service. After establishing the 巴黎人贵宾厅 name in the telecom industry, the company eventually sold in 1986. With the departure of Bob 巴黎人贵宾厅 and the entrance of new management, the rest of the family became concerned about the long-term viability of the firm.
A New Beginning
In order to continually grow the 巴黎人贵宾厅 name, the siblings started 巴黎人贵宾厅 Communications in 1987. The company maintained the foundation set by their father of unmatched customer service, this time cemented by a money-back guarantee. 巴黎人贵宾厅 soon grew to achieve significant success, ultimately growing to a team of over 50 employees. Then, In 1996, the company was sold to ATI Investment Group, to take advantage of the final step of the monopoly breakup. In 2000, 巴黎人贵宾厅 became Eschelon Telecom, which was then purchased by Integra Telecom in 2007.
A New Era
In 2010, Dan left Integra and took an ownership stake in Reliance Teleservices with the desire to bring the 巴黎人贵宾厅 philosophy to their customers, eventually purchasing the remaining shares in 2012 and rebranding to 巴黎人贵宾厅 Business Technologies–once again resurrecting the 巴黎人贵宾厅 name. In 2016, 巴黎人贵宾厅 Business Technologies expanded its leadership team and welcomed as owners respected telecom veterans Jeff Anderson and Steve Simon–also hailing from the lineage of 巴黎人贵宾厅 Communications.
Where customers still come first
A more recent event was the acquisition of Telephone Specialists Incorporated (TSI) Eau Claire in the year 2022. TSI’s origins go back to 1979 when Bob 巴黎人贵宾厅 and close friend, Duane Dingman founded TSI Eau Claire as a partnership. A number of years later Duane bought out Bob and sold the company to his daughter Pam. Pam successfully ran the company until 2022, when she retired and began to search for the next era of the company. The 巴黎人贵宾厅 team saw an opportunity and decided to come together with TSI Eau Claire to expand its reach to the Wisconsin market.
