(Source: Business Wire)Cbeyond, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBEY), a provider of communications and IT solutions to more than 46,000 small businesses across the country, recently added the UPS Store of West St. Paul as its newest Minneapolis customer. The UPS Store chose Cbeyond for its specialized focus on the needs of small businesses, robust set of reliable small business solutions and depth of educational opportunities. In addition, the dedicated and reliable T-1 Internet service available within the company's BeyondVoice package now allows the franchise to compete in the online printing marketplace with business-grade print speeds.

The enhanced voice and data network and IT applications provided by Cbeyond will now enable the UPS Store of West St. Paul to meet their customers' needs and help them meet their goal of growing their business by 10 percent over the next year. Outside of Cbeyond's core voice and broadband package, the UPS Store has Cbeyond's IT applications including Secure Desktop and Web Hosting available to them to run their business.

The UPS Store of West St. Paul provides shipping, packaging, document services, mailbox and postal services to local customers, many of which are small businesses themselves. The UPS Store wanted to create a new revenue stream through on-demand online printing and understood the need to invest in the right technology to enable fast, reliable printing for their customers. After meeting with a Cbeyond representative, the company made the decision to implement Cbeyond's BeyondVoice package with business-grade Internet service -- allowing for broadband speed, performance, reliability and security they need to be a successful provider of online printing.

"Choosing a service provider that offered a dedicated and reliable T-1 line was vital for my business because it will allow for consistent, and fast upload and download speed for our online printing service," said Phillip Voight, co-owner of the family owned UPS Store in West St. Paul. "We also chose Cbeyond for their consultative approach. The company's representatives worked with us to understand our business needs and that's not something we see every day."

With Cbeyond's business-grade Internet service, the UPS Store will be able to send and receive emails faster, upload and download files and access the Web quickly.
