Surveys indicate that broadband deployment is a growth engine for economic development. Verizon is aggressively deploying its broadband wireline and wireless networks to meet business and consumer demand.
Despite an economy that is slowly recovering within the state, Verizon continued to bring communications and computing innovation to the state's consumers and businesses in 2011, investing more than $732 million in its wireline communications network and IT infrastructure throughout the state.
Diversity is an important part of Verizon’s approach to its customers and employees. A diverse employee body that reflects a company’s customer base is important in being able to relate and communicate. It also brings a wealth of creative approaches in how we work and interact with each other and our customers.
Becoming more energy efficient isn’t just cost effective; it’s environmentally friendly and makes the country less dependent on outside sources of energy.
Thousands of customer calls routinely come in to Verizon business offices every day. And on most days they are just that, routine. But one day a routine customer call turned out to be anything but that for Verizon sales and service consultant Sonja Legge, whose quick thinking helped to save the life of a woman experiencing a life-threatening emergency.
As business customers continue to turn to Verizon for a wide range of communications and IT solutions to drive better outcomes, they are finding a strong environmental partner in the process.
