AT&T Recognized by Leading Analyst Firm with 'SMB Excellence Award' for Small Business Web Experience

AT&T Small Business Insite Online Resource and 'SMART' Tool Earn Distinction.

Further validating its commitment to support the growth and success of small businesses nationwide, AT&T* announced that it received a “Small and Medium Business (SMB) Award of Excellence” from leading industry analyst firm IDC. The award was given in recognition of the outstanding SMB Web experience provided by AT&T’s Small Business InSite and the Small Business Mobile Application Recommender Tool (SMART).

IDC recognized AT&T Small Business InSite for its balance between providing content depth and usability for small business owners. The site continues to build a community by providing access to helpful how-to articles, online courses and free webinars by small business experts that cover a variety of topics including e-commerce, making business decisions and how to efficiently use technology for business growth. It allows AT&T to be a technology advisor for firms with limited IT resources as well as an overall business advisor for small businesses – regardless of their technology provider.

AT&T also was recognized for its dedication to offering accessible, relevant, and easy to use online resources to small business owners via its Small Business Mobile Application Recommender Tool, which can be found by visiting www.att.com/smart. The tool allows business owners to build a business profile by selecting from a list of industries, mobile worker types, and mobile devices of interest, and then indicate which of several different functions they would like to be able to perform. Based on that input, the tool returns a list of recommended business solutions. Clicking on any result gives a detailed description and a phone number to reach a small business sales representative.

"AT&T displays an impressive awareness of the needs and selling challenges associated with small business,” said Timothy Doherty, associate research analyst for SMB Mobility, IDC. “AT&T Small Business InSite offers essential business resources to AT&T customers and prospects, while its SMART application tool greatly eases the task of mobile application selection."

“AT&T Small Business InSite provides small business owners with a great balance of advice and access to Small Business experts.” said Alicia Dietsch, vice president of Marketing Communications, AT&T. “We’re further excited about evolving this resource to enable entrepreneurs to actively share ideas with us and with one another.”
