About River North Business Association
RNBA is a business trade organization comprised of hundreds of business members with a wide variety of needs. Its purpose is to promote the River North area as a top-of-mind destination for business activity, support local businesses, encourage economic prosperity and improve the quality of life within the community.

The Challenge
Access to reliable high-speed Internet was essential for the association to power its various IP-enabled applications. With no in-house IT staff to setup or manage its communications, RNBA also required on-going consultation, along with quick, effective customer service. This was most apparent when RNBA moved offices the previous year. Operating in a shared work space and using a common equipment room, RNBA needed its equipment to be well organized to ensure seamless access when addressing any issues.
Solution
- Faster Internet delivered via a reliable, fiber-rich network
- Above-and-beyond, highly responsive customer service from a community-oriented team
- Local technical experts and dedicated account manager available 24/7, serving as RNBA’s IT team
