Vision Net connections bring people, events closer

Rob Ferris, general manager of Great Falls-based Vision Net http://www.vision.net , spent 10 minutes on the phone with me on a day his administrative assistant said he was "slammed." Just back from a business trip, he was busy catching up and was easier to get in touch with via e-mail than voice mail; a few minutes after I e-mailed, he called.

Ferris told me he has over 30 years in the industry in positions with Lucent Technologies, Blackfoot Telephone and AT&T, and three with Vision Net in Great Falls, to which he just relocated from Vision Net’s Missoula office. He said that all of Vision Net’s core businesses are doing well. "We’re not seeing a lot of (financial) difficulties with our Montana customers right now," he said.

Vision Net is wholly owned by nine independent telephone companies, and offers data, voice and video networking applications (over ethernet, satellite, wireless and more), direct Internet access and customized wide-area network management.

For the business user, Vision Net’s interactive video conferencing is possibly the most "visual" of their services and also one of the services I think other businesses look to during the economic downturn to save money on travel. That all works, of course, with the "invisible" but very extensive fiber and satellite links that Vision Net uses for all of their customers across Montana, North Dakota, and for national customers as well.
