DATAPOINT Announces Next Steps in Transition to Sister Company Expedients Brand Name

Baltimore, Maryland (PRWEB) October 01, 2012

DataPoint, Baltimores leading provider of data center colocation, managed hosting services and network connectivity announced they are taking the next steps in a brand transition to their regionally based and commonly owned sister company; Expedient. The businesses have been commonly owned and operated since 2004, but had previously retained their local brand names.

Under the Expedient brand name, DataPoint will continue to offer the most reliable and comprehensive suite of IT solutions in the area and remains committed to providing local on-site support 24×7. The company currently operates eight (8) of the Expedient data centers in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions. Together, they form a network of data centers that work seamlessly to provide high quality colocation and managed hosting services regardless of location. The firms parent company; Continental Broadband LLC, acquired or built these businesses at different times, which resulted in different brand names. With four of the six markets now operating under the brand name Expedient, the parent company decided to adopt Expedient as its brand in all markets, including Baltimore. Since our multi-market capabilities have become so important to our customers seeking geographic redundancy and disaster recovery alternatives, we believe this will eliminate confusion for our customers and prospective customers, who may choose to take advantage of our multi-market capabilities said Curtis DePass, DataPoints General Manager.

Weve decided to take the next step, and we will more prominently display the Expedient name as our primary Brand. Beginning in September, through the end of 2012, we will refer to ourselves as Expedient, formerly DataPoint. Starting in 2013 we will phase out the DataPoint name completely and from then on, we will simply be Expedient. We again emphasize that this change is in name only and is not the result of any ownership change added DePass. Please visit http://www.datapointinc.com/expedient for more information.
