Establishing Infrastructure

Background

Eastwood Community Association believed there was a better way to negotiate their cable agreement that was approaching expiration, but were not sure what the process entailed. That’s when Converged Services stepped in, not only to provide term options, but upgraded fiber technology as well.

  • Upgraded fiber to the home

  • Savings per resident averaging over $100 per month

  • Incentive signing bonus to association from the chosen provider


Challenges

Prior to partnering with Converged Services, the Eastwood Community Association had a single video-only bulk agreement with existing coaxial infrastructure. The majority of residents were paying retail price for products and services such as digital video service, HD programming and DVR functionality, on top of Internet and modem equipment.


Converged Services
Solution

Converged Services’ due diligence across various technologies and service providers gave Eastwood Community Association not only term options, but upgraded fiber technology, HD programming, DVR with Whole Home functionality, Internet with modem, and an incentive signing bonus to the association from the chosen provider.

Converged Services’ proven process provides results that ensure both boards and residents benefit from partnering with us. Eastwood Community Association received upgraded fiber for each home, saved residents on average over $100 per month, and received an incentive signing bonus that could be reinvested into the community. Since Converged Services is a contingency-based firm, the community was not out-of-pocket during the extensive two year negotiating process.
