One of the biggest names in the data center space is St. Louis, MO headquartered TierPoint. Founded in 2010, TierPoint is the premier data center service provider of cloud, colocation, managed services and DR.

For Financial Services Companies

Financial services companies including banks, credit unions, investment firms, financial advisors, and insurance agencies need to provide customer-friendly services across the Internet, devices, and physical locations. Consumers expect personalization and easy access. Current technologies – including AI and big data management – enable you to offer new services, such as digital customer support, automated wealth management, customer verification, and open bank data. At the same time, you may be held back by an outdated IT infrastructure and underutilized data. Security and compliance are essential. All of these can impact your ability to deliver high-quality service and customer satisfaction.

TierPoint experts will become an extension of your team and provide strategic IT guidance and experience in diverse skill sets including cybersecurity.

For Healthcare

Healthcare organizations such as hospitals, doctors' offices, diagnostic services, and surgical centers are facing industry-wide disruption that aims to lower costs, reduce friction, and deliver innovation. At the same time, consumers are demanding choice, value, and connected digital experiences from their healthcare providers. Legislation to enable patients to price shop will usher in changes to the competitive landscape. All these challenges are exacerbated by the threat of cyberattacks, aging IT systems, regulatory requirements, and opportunities presented by telemedicine and connected medical devices.

Jerald L. Kent, Chairman and CEO

Jerry Kent is a recognized entrepreneur and trailblazer in the telecommunications and technology industries with an outstanding track record for customer service and delivering superior returns for investors. Prior to assuming the role of TierPoint’s CEO, he served as its chairman. He also serves as CEO of Cequel III, which he co-founded in January 2002.

Jerry began his career as a CPA with Arthur Andersen in 1979, and in 1983 left to head up acquisitions and finance for an upstart cable company, Cencom Cable Associates, Inc. He later became CFO of Cencom, which grew by acquisition and eventually served 550,000 customers in the U.S. before it was sold in 1991.

After serving a year with Cencom’s acquirer, Jerry left and co-founded Charter Communications, Inc., in January 1993. He led Charter to become one of the 10 largest cable operators in the U.S., serving 1.3 million customers. In 1998, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen acquired Charter, providing substantial rewards for Charter’s private investors. Jerry continued as President and CEO, growing Charter to serve more than 7 million customers and making it the nation’s fourth-largest cable company at the time. The company went public in November 1999, in what was then the third-largest IPO in U.S. history. Charter consistently led the industry in superior operating results and from the IPO date until September 2001, the month Jerry left, Charter’s was the best performing public cable stock.
