Cloud Services Specialist Telesphere Moves Regional Headquarters to Larger Facility

By Beecher Tuttle TMCnet Contributor

Busting at the seams at its original facility, cloud communication service provider Telesphere (News - Alert) has picked up and moved its regional headquarters nine miles south to a larger office space within the Denver Technology Center.

Telesphere said that the move was necessitated by strong growth in the unified communications and hosted VoIP markets. The company will use extra space to build out its Network Operations Center – which its engineers use to manage the flow of voice and data traffic – and to expand its customer care department.

In addition, the new office space includes presentation rooms that Telesphere will use to drum up new business and meet with existing clients.

The new location sits alongside the Interstate 25 corridor and is within walking distance to the Dry Creek station on the Regional Transportation District's (RTD) light rail lines. With the new office being in vicinity of public transportation, Telesphere is looking to obtain "Certifiably Green Denver" status from the city and county of Denver.

Commercial real estate firm CB Richard Ellis helped arrange the relocation and managed the deal.

The expansion isn't all that surprising considering what Telesphere chief executive Clark Peterson told us about the cloud in July of last year. In a sit down with TMC CEO Rich Tehrani, Peterson called 2011 "the year of the cloud" and said that people who didn't trust hosted services are beginning to get onboard.

“In the last six to eight months, there has been a very large shift to cloud interest,” Peterson told Tehrani. “We’ve been out there for six years advocating cloud based services, but now there is a major shift.”

Peterson's prediction came to fruition in the second half of 2011 as cloud services adoption rates rose to new heights. The mass migration to the cloud helped Telesphere make Inc. Magazine's 2011 list of America's fastest-growing companies and finish first among large providers of cloud communications services.
