CEC receives National Excellence in Business Award from NSCA

HIAWATHA, Iowa—Communications Engineering Company (CEC), a nationally technology systems integrator based here, announced that it has been recognized by National Systems Contractors Association (NSCA) with an Excellence in Business award in the category of Differentiating Strategies.

The company has aligned the sales organization to concentrate on customer-driven initiatives allowing CEC's sales professionals to focus on one-on-one support across technology suites. Customers enjoy one point of contact for audio, video, fire and security, IT, healthcare communications and two-way communications solutions. Technology service and support is available locally across their footprint in Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota.

“This new sales strategy not only provides our customers with a better experience, but also prepares us for long-term, sustained growth,” CEC Vice President of Sales Tyler Ebnet said in the announcement. “Our dedication to customer-focused selling also helps us create new services and solutions to better support the way our clients work, including our new Managed Systems Program (MSP), which rolled out in January 2020.”

By packaging the latest technology into an affordable monthly subscription across a three-year term, the Managed Systems Program offers a built-in refresh cycle so customers can stay current with technology.

NSCA also recognized Ebnet with a 2020 Randy Vaughan Founder's Award, which is granted to a select number of professionals across the country who hold management or decision-making roles within a commercial integration firm.

CEC will be recognized along with five other integration firms for its Excellence in Business award at NSCA's 22nd annual Business & Leadership Conference, held Feb. 26-28, 2020, in Irving, Texas.
