Thanks, Rochard, for the message letting me know this was here.....
Sorry for any confusion to anyone but I think maybe some of the mailouts went out of order or something because the first thing you should have received was an email from *ME* directly explaining everything. But, let me put some of you at ease real quick....First, the sale closed on October 4th so it is not new and I am still around :) Second, you guys are going to LOVE working with TSS. They even went out and hired Omar (yes, Fucking Omar...that Omar) to be their face in the community because they are excited about working with all of you!
For me, you will still see me around as they made that a part of the contract. They wanted to make sure that the transition was smooth...unlike so many in the past in this industry. I am available on an as needed basis and will be for the foreseeable future so feel free to hit me up if you need anything.
For the record, I get approached at least a few times a week from people wanting to buy NationalNet. I simply went from saying "hell no" to "how much?" LOL!! :)
As always, if you need me just drop an email to
[email protected] and I will respond just like always.
Below is the email that everyone should have gotten first.....
Subject: Important Announcement from CEO Tony Morgan
Dear {your name},
For the last 21 years, NationalNet has had the incredible privilege of being your IT partner. We have enjoyed being by your side and participating in your growth, as you’ve relied on our IT solutions to enable you and your customers to evolve into the companies that you dreamed of becoming when you started your business. Like you, NationalNet has grown through the years and we appreciate that you have been an integral part of our family as we have reached our goals. Due to customers like you, NationalNet has gained a high level of visibility in the IT services market and has become a desirable candidate for larger IT services firms seeking to complement their growth and supplement their teams through acquisition. As a result, NationalNet has agreed to be purchased by Total Server Solutions.
Total Server Solutions has been in business for over a decade and has become a prominent global player in Managed IT services. With 25 physical locations globally and a robust solution suite, TSS enables its customers to easily scale, access, and manage IT workloads around the world securely and quickly through its many services. TSS has a strong foundation having been in business since 2005. With continued growth and success, they have been recognized numerous times, including recognition by Inc. Magazine’s list of the 5000 fastest growing privately held companies in America for the second year in a row. Additionally, Atlanta Business Chronicle gave TSS its 2018 Pacesetter award. Most recently, TSS’ CEO Gary Simat was awarded TiE’s 2018 Top Atlanta Entrepreneur for the Upper Middle Market.
This acquisition by TSS is great news for NationalNet customers. You will now have access to IaaS, DRaaS, Network Services, and more…on a global level. Additionally, TSS has over 100 employees (most of which are engineers) ready to provide you with outstanding support and service. As I made the decision to sell NationalNet, it was imperative that the vision, culture, and approach were aligned. TSS met or exceeded all of these, and most importantly, our philosophy around customer service and support. Our customers feel like family to us, and I am supremely confident that the TSS team will continue that high touch and intimate engagement that you’ve come to appreciate from us through the years. The team that has supported you through the years will remain in place, and the transition to TSS will be seamless for you.
You will be contacted in the next few days by your personal account manager. He or She will provide you their contact information, so you can reach them as needed. Additionally, they will likely schedule a few minutes with you to say hello and to engage you in a discussion about your business and your goals, so they may better assist you in the coming weeks and months.
You will also receive in the next week or two, communication from TSS regarding important information about portal access and support contact information
Thank you once again for your continued support. It has been a pleasure serving you through the years, and I am excited for you to experience the high level of support, knowledge, and collaboration the TSS team will bring to you, your team, and your customers.
Tony
