The altafiber Business organization is dedicated to the advancement and growth of the Partner Channel to support our local business community. This includes creating new webpages under altafiber.com/business/partner-channel. This site is a one-stop resource to connect our customers to trusted IT partners that are local to them, and provide a simplified pathway for IT partners to join the altafiber Partner Program.

Greg Wheeler, President – Business Markets for altafiber, said the expanded Partner Channel initiative will allow altafiber to focus on delivering world-class networking connectivity while leveraging deep relationships with IT providers across Greater Cincinnati to provide a consistently outstanding customer experience.

“The investments that we’ve made in our fiber infrastructure now allow us to cover nearly 100 percent of businesses addresses in the Greater Cincinnati area with high-quality bandwidth connectivity to service their requirements,” Wheeler said. “At the same time, we understand that our business customers have complex technology needs. We are well-positioned to address those needs through our partnerships and relationships with trusted IT Service Providers in our operating areas.”

It allows customers to access trusted IT Providers through their relationships with altafiber Business. And it connects IT Providers with potentially thousands of altafiber Business customers,” Sawyer said. “The most important part of that equation is our business customers, who will ultimately benefit the most from this service model.”
