What It Means for You
Summit Clients
You can look forward to an expansion of cloud hosting, data center, and networking options as we integrate Deft’s capabilities into our own in the coming months. That means new services and solutions you can leverage to drive your organization’s growth.
Deft Clients
You’ll keep getting the same great service and support you’ve come to know and expect from the Deft team. Our integration plan will roll out gradually over the course of the next eight months to ensure minimal disruption and maximum synergy.
What Happens Next?
Over the next few months, we’ll begin the process of integrating core aspects of the two companies. Deft customers will continue working with their existing account reps and log into the same customer portal. The Summit team will provide advance notice ahead of any changes regarding log-ins or account management to ensure a smooth transition.
Since we’re incorporating Deft’s infrastructure into Summit’s operations, there’s no need to migrate your data or workloads.
