NorthWestern Energy http://www.northwesternenergy.com/ serves 322,000 natural gas and electric customers in 187 Montana communities. The company relies on dozens of Internet providers to connect their Montana operations, which means dozens of monthly bills and dealing with technicians from dozens of service providers — until now.
NorthWestern Energy has hired Great Falls-based VisionNet http://www.vision.net/home.php to provide wide-area network management.
