Great Connections for Spring 2018

GREAT Connections SPRING 2018 5 In addition, all Omaha Performing Arts services are monitored locally by Great Plains Communications at our TL 9000 certified Network Operations Center in Blair. Omaha Performing Arts also receives local customer care and support to keep their communi- cations systems functioning smoothly. “Having reliable Internet and telephone service is vital in communication with our patrons,” said Danyel Siler, Omaha Performing Arts Vice President of Marketing and Communications. “Because of Great Plains Communications’ attention to these services, they help make any touch point with our patrons as seamless as possible. This means we can serve our patrons quickly and easily, ensuring they have the best experi- ence with us.” Ricardo Berry, Director of Information Services, Omaha Performing Arts, noted, “We’re pleased Great Plains Communi- cations is our main technology provider. Their high speed, secure services provide connec- tivity at the highest level for our venues. Great Plains is also local and committed to nonprofit organizations, which is beneficial for us.” Education and Community Engagement Reliable communications services also help enable Omaha Performing Arts to provide Education and Community Engagement programs throughout Nebraska.
