Evergreen Healthcare and Others Successfully Migrate to the Telekenex Network From Straitshot


SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Telekenex, Inc ("Telekenex"), today announced it has successfully migrated approximately 100 sites to the Telekenex MPLS network over the weekend from Straitshot Communications ("Straitshot"). Telekenex proved that it was up to the challenge and worked straight through the weekend to migrate many of Straitshot's largest customers to its network.



One of these companies, Evergreen Healthcare based in Vancouver Washington, provides management and consulting services to healthcare facilities that provide quality long-term care and specialty healthcare services. "Given the unfortunate situation we found ourselves in with Straitshot we needed a new solution which could be implemented quickly in order to prevent a loss of service. We are very grateful to Telekenex for providing such a smooth transition to their network," said Scott Magby, Director of IT. "The Evergreen Healthcare companies operate 52 licensed skilled nursing facilities, and 5 assisted living facilities in California, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington. It was amazing how Telekenex was able to do such a large and complex migration involving MPLS and SIP Trunking of so many facilities over the weekend. I am happy to be with a provider that has the knowledge and staff to really take care of us going forward. Thank you, Telekenex!" Brandon Chaney, CEO of Telekenex, commented, "I am really proud of our operational team. There were many moving parts and we accomplished something over the weekend that is monumental; successfully migrating approximately 100 customer circuits on our network with complex managed services such as SIP Trunking, MPLS and VPN. I would like to send out a message to all former Straitshot customers that need help; Telekenex is here to support you!"
