ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Telcobuy, a division of World Wide Technology (WWT), has announced a name change to TBX, signifying a more expansive set of capabilities and offerings.

“Our strength is the ability to innovate and integrate products and services, creating solutions that best serve the business needs of service providers, their customers, and communities,” said David L. Steward, Founder and Chairman of WWT (and its subsidiaries), the largest Black‑owned company in the United States.
“Innovation is at the center of that ability requiring a team that understands and embraces diversity, equity and inclusion, a quality that our customers are also striving to incorporate into their own workplaces and communities,” Steward added.
“Diversity, equity, and inclusion are essential to innovation because they foster stronger business outcomes. Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion for TBX is unshakable, the same as it is across World Wide Technology,” Steward said.
