Technology Entrepreneur Peter Struwing, Launches Utility Service Provider Franchise.
January 30 , 2007, Ottawa, Canada -– The Utility Company, the leader in Technology-as-a-Service™, today announced its latest Utility Service Provider (USP) franchise in the Peterborough/Lindsay Region of Ontario, Canada. Peter Struwing, brings more then 17 years of engineering, business and technology experience to The Utility Company. Most recently, Peter owned and operated an industrial automation company in Georgetown, Ontario, and is moving back to his previous home of Peterborough.
“I met The Utility Company at the Canadian Franchise Association’s tradeshow and realized, from a small business owner’s perspective, Connected Office is a set of services that any small business owner should appreciate,” stated Peter Struwing. Having been an entrepreneur and small business owner, I have first-hand knowledge of how under-served that market is – we will change that in the Peterborough/Lindsay market.”
“We are excited about Peter joining our team”, stated Mark Scott, President of The Utility Company. “Peter has already owned his own successful business. For him to become a Utility Service Provider means he grasps the potential of the Utility model for himself and understands the value of Connected Office to small and medium-sized businesses.”
The Utility Company provides information technology as a utility to small and medium-sized businesses providing the required hardware, software and service for a monthly fee per user. Utility was founded to address the two major problems in the SMB market today:
- Spending – the fact the average SMB spends $360 per user per month on technology for an industry total of $400 billion annually.
- Utilization – the fact that only 15% of this investment in technology is actually utilized by these businesses.
”A recent report in the Canadian Franchise Directory stated that 92% of new franchisees pass the critical first five years – a rate four times higher than independent business,” continued Scott. “Matching these facts with our proven system and our business-technology consulting training regiment ensures our USP’s success and the quality of service to our customers.
“The Utility Company has changed the way technology is delivered and consumed,”, concluded Struwing. “I have a large network of potential customers thanks to my existing relationships in the Peterborough area and they all see the value of Connected Office for their business. It’s great to be back in the Peterborough area again and I look forward to meeting old friends and new customers!”
