Central House Merges With Think Smart
Central House Technologies, Amador County’s premier Internet Service Provider has signed a strategic alliance with Think Smart, Sacramento Business Journal’s 5th fastest growing company of 2007. Under the terms of the merger, Central House remains as an active company continuing to provide service to all of their customers. Central House’s two key employees, Joe Rohde and Steven Blanton of Plymouth, have moved to the Think Smart Headquarters and will remain employees of the combined company. Rohde has taken the role of Vice President of Sales and will be working with clients as well as developing the local and regional sales teams. “Merging with Think Smart not only gives us the ability to provide new services, it immediately enhances the level of support that our existing customers will receive,” commented Rohde, Central House founder. Central House customers have immediate access to Think Smart’s state-of-the-art Network Operations Center 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. “It’s nice to have more engineers to handle customer calls and distribute the work load,” says Blanton, Senior Support Engineer. As an added benefit the merger brings new services to the Central House portfolio. Think Smart offers Smart Managed Services for Small and Medium sized businesses in need of technical support. “We are tremendously excited about the partnership between Central House and Think Smart. Central House has provided best of breed Internet services and customer support for many years,” said Rob Ross, Think Smart’s President.
