Advantage Communications Group, a global telecom managed services provider (MSP), announced double-digit year-over-year growth for the previous five years, driven by a heightened need for flexible and secure network connectivity and cloud communications services and a strong commitment to internal development and expansion.
“2022 was a year of strong geographic, financial, service and workforce growth for the company,” said Advantage co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer Steve Rome. “Businesses everywhere are realizing that their legacy infrastructure is inefficient, expensive, and lacking critical security features. We help businesses address all of these issues, particularly as current events impact their operations, in addition to significant cost and labor savings.”
Throughout 2022, Advantage focused on increasing its global footprint. It brought on additional workforce in Lyon, France, and in Portugal to extend the reach of the European headquarters in Barcelona. Advantage’s expansion and hiring of additional employees will provide greater local support for its regional clients and allow the company to reach more customers in high-growth international markets.
To support the growth of its Europe, The Middle East and Africa (EMEA) client base, including a €6 billion building materials enterprise, numerous pharmaceuticals, and hospitality organizations, Advantage onboarded 10 European team members in sales and engineering capacities in addition to 35 new staff the United States. The firm anticipates a similar or steeper growth trajectory in 2023.
Advantage attributes its growth in part to its broadening its services portfolio that anticipates the needs of today’s evolving enterprises. Advantage added a new automated bill payment solution to its portfolio of managed offerings to complement its full lifecycle expense management service. This new service combines a centralized, automated accounts payable process with real-time visibility across the entire billing lifecycle for telecom and networking expenses within Advantage’s proprietary customer expense portal, Command Center.
Also of note is the company’s focus on forming new partnerships. In August, Advantage joined forces with Extreme Networks to make its white-glove managed telecom services available to Extreme customers. This innovative collaboration enables Extreme customers to simplify their infrastructure lifecycle and centralize inventory and expenses.
In Europe, Advantage partnered with Conscia, a firm specializing in networking, cloud and cybersecurity on a number of joint engagements. With its reach and offices throughout the European Union, Consica is an ideal complement for customers needing design and implementation of infrastructure.
