Bio
Bryan Laursen
I've worked with Eric since 2015 and wholeheartedly recommend him for anything UCaaS, CCaaS, MPLS, SD-WAN and all manner of networking technologies. His knowledge and knowhow in dealing vendors in this field is unmatched. He knows how to separate the wheat from the chaff and how to find a solution that fits clients needs every time. Given my previous experience with brokers in this field, Eric was a breath of fresh air. He sees the job through to completion and holds the vendors accountable for delivery excellence. Nobody else I know in his role does this and it's what puts him well above the crowd.

My company was looking to switch phone providers in 2019 and had Eric recommended to us by our managed service provider. As daunting as the task seemed, Eric came in early during the process and navigated us the entire way. From evaluating vendors to assisting in the contract negotiations with our desired provider, Eric ensured our experience went smooth. Eric’s oversight and assistance didn’t end there, throughout the entire migration process, he helped us transition easily to the new system, attended all technical and planning meetings, and when we ran into a billing issue with our previous telco, he provided his expertise and fought for us, helping us settle our issue when we thought there was nothing else that could be done. I could not recommend Eric enough and will definitely look to him for any future needs.

May 2012 - Present
- In 2012, after four years of being mentored by the other entrepreneurs of IQ Wired that came before me, I ventured out on my own. - Grew clientele base by supporting existing IQ Wired clients and new logo base functioning as an independent agent. - Establishing and maintaining relationships of Denver based MSP's to co-support mutual clients. - As cloud telephony among the enterprise became a strategic business initiative, I excelled in the UCaaS space driving customer adoption and carriers' growth of their cloud platforms. - In 2015, I began a focus on providing CCaaS solutions for businesses operating contact centers. Client's earned increased retention rates, improved operational efficiencies and gained overall revenue growth as a result of an improved customer experience.
