Future of Rural America the Focus at Annual CHR Solutions SummitCHR Solutions, Inc. held its annual User Meeting and Strategic Summit March 13-15 at the JW Marriott at the Galleria in Houston, Texas. The event hosted approximately 250 attendees and helped communications service providers (CSPs) uncover solutions to generate new revenue streams, partnership opportunities and improve their operational efficiencies.

The NTCA is the premier nonprofit association representing more than 570 small and rural telephone cooperatives and commercial companies. “Our rural communities are very important to the future of America and bringing together hundreds of industry leaders each year provides a forum where together we can discuss the key issues we’re facing each and every day,” said James Taylor, Chairman and CEO, CHR Solutions. “Once again, this year’s event was a great success which validated our belief that businesses and local and regional carriers need to work together to ensure that the industry not only survives, but continues to prosper in the years to come.” Attendees at this year’s event were also provided with an introduction to OMNIA 360, CHR’s latest offering which was developed in partnership with Microsoft and provides a fully integrated enterprise customer relationship management and billing solution.
