There is a third piece of news too, VISI Purchases Internet Service Provider Infinity AccessNET. With that acquisition I become a VISI customer. One of the main areas of business for Infinity AccessNET besides small businesses is high density housing (condos, apartments, associations) so when I moved to the new condo I picked them up rather than Comcast.
I have written a few times here that I am a big fan of Mike Sowada, VISI CEO. A few years ago while working on a project I was able to get to know Mike really well and he is a good guy. I have high regards of him and the way he handles his personal and professional activities.Earlier this week VISI announced: VISI to Build $18 Million World-Class Data Center in Duluth. A big “win” for the City of Duluth, a good number of new jobs and will likely add more.
About six weeks ago while visiting a client I was walking out of the elevator where both the client and VISI have offices and Mike missed running over me (literally) by 1.5 feet. If had connected I would have been down for the count. He mentioned they were moving the headquarters office to Eden Prairie as announced in February, VISI Purchases 50,000 Square Foot Facility for New Headquarters and Data Center
While all of that is really good news for the area the one I appreciate the most is the support VISI gave to the Sierra Bravo’s F1 Overnight Website Challenge. 11 non profits received new web sites and other valuable donations to help them in their missions to help our community.
No this is not a paid endorsement, I really do like the guy this much.
