The new partnership opens important doors for Octopz in key industry verticals as well as providing access to creative professionals among Mountain Cablevision’s existing customer base.

“Mountain Cablevision is delighted to discover a product like Octopz, which enhances our position as a total solution provider, enabling clients of all sizes to make maximum use of their network investment,” said John Piercy, president of Mountain Cablevision. “In today’s fast-paced business environment, where there is enormous pressure to increase productivity and responsiveness, make faster decisions and improve product speed to market, an effective and intuitive solution like Octopz is a great addition to our existing suite of productivity offerings.

Their work — including markup and notes — is stored securely, so that participants can review and revise projects individually whenever it’s convenient, 24/7.
“Partnering with a highly-regarded company like Mountain Cablevision provides enormous credibility for Octopz and allows us to bring our product to market through an extensive and committed sales force with strong client relationships,” said Ron McKenzie, CEO of Octopz. “With its flexibility, ease of use, and the ability to leverage next-generation digital media and technologies, including video, text chat, VoIP and webcam functionality, Octopz is a natural fit for a state-of-the-art service provider such as Mountain Cablevision”.
