Where Did TDS Hosted & Managed Services Go?

TDS Hosted & Managed Services (TDS HMS) is now doing business under a new name. The name change is intended to unify all acquisitions made by its parent company, Telephone and Data Systems (TDS) under a single name.

The new name, OneNeck IT Solutions LLC, will bring together the following acquired companies: VISI Inc., TEAM Technologies, OneNeck IT Services, Vital Support Systems and MSN Communications.

OneNeck IT Solutions president and CEO Phil LaForge — a Nimsoft veteran who wrote MSPmentor’s most popular guest blog ever — said in a prepared statement the change in name “solidifies our company as the next generation provider that our customers are looking for to deliver tailored end-to-end IT solutions.

“The single brand enables us to create a simpler structure that results in less confusion by customers and employees,” he said. “Plus, it allows us to develop a consistent approach to facilitate future growth and expansion while delivering the IT solutions our customers need.”
