What are the Benefits?

Hassle-Free Installation & Onboarding

It all starts with our well-coordinated new service installation and onboarding process. Our friendly Enterprise@Home local team quickly arrange all new service installations and make it as turnkey as possible for your employees.

Business-Class Bandwidth

Enterprise@Home helps avoid frustrating, business impacting slow-downs or choppy connections. Consolidated can offer the best locally-available business broadband solutions in your employees' homes or provide dedicated Internet access that includes 99.95% reliability and a Service Level Agreement. By offering a separate connection unaffected by family smartphones, PCs, streaming TVs, or gaming, your team can continue to email, host online meetings, transfer large files, run key business applications and serve your customers with ease. Select an SD-WAN overlay package to increase bandwidth and prioritize your network traffic.

Protection from Network Threats

By their nature, residential broadband solutions aren't very secure. With your employees accessing your corporate network through VPN – or even trying to avoid your VPN to improve their bandwidth – it's more important than ever to consider a work-from-home solution that can protect your critical business data and infrastructure. With Enterprise@Home, we'll proactively monitor the network and watch for any potential network security threats at all of your home office locations. And our

Priority Business-Class Support

If you're trying to ensure productivity from a remote workforce where each employee is subscribing to Internet and/or voice services as a residential customer, you're not getting the priority service and support you need to support the enterprise. With Enterprise@Home, your remote employee locations get priority treatment for any necessary technical support or repair. Direct employees to your dedicated, knowledgeable Enterprise@Home tech, assigned specifically to handle requests from your organization. You don't have to be a middle-man in the process and employees can get support faster. And our in-market Network Operations Center is watching for issues 24/7 so we can connect your remote organization as reliably and securely as you would from your office

Easy Administration and Enterprise-Level Billing

Unlike other providers, Consolidated can offer the convenience of a single invoice for all your home office locations. This means less administration for your team. There’s no need to worry with employee expense reimbursements, and you can easily turn on or off home-based services as your workforce changes. Plus, pay online through our Account Center portal.

Reliability for Mission Critical Teams

Enterprise@Home gives organizations a reliable, secure communications platform to ensure their remote workforce can deliver critical services without interruption. For example, healthcare, financial and government institutions can’t afford to miss a beat – no matter where their employees are working.

We Are Where You Are

No matter where your employees live in northern New England, Consolidated can service them directly through our fully-owned and managed fiber network or provide connectivity through a preferred third-party provider. Either way, we can offer integrated service and billing for your entire remote workforce.
