Grand Rapids-based US Signal opens new division, adds jobs

US Signal is launching the Professional Services team, a new division that will focus on data transfer and migration.  

The team can serve as an extension of a client's IT staff and assist with infrastructure assessments, installation and building of virtual environments, migration to the cloud and training as needed.

Adam Kessler, director of information systems, says the formation for the new division came simply from listening to their customers: "A big reason we created this new group was from talking with customers. We discovered a gap in what we offered and what was needed," Kessler says. "Our customers needed services wrapped around our infrastructure."

Kessler says with the new division US Signal has already added new jobs and he anticipates more openings in the near future. "As a service department, the product is the people. As we onboard more customers, we plan to grow head count," he says.

US Signal has over 14,000 miles of lit fiber and metro rings in 23 tier-one, tier-two, and tier-three markets. US Signal's product portfolio includes colocation, disaster recovery, security and cloud hosting services to complement its network offerings.
