Colorado AvidGolfer: Supporting Publishing, Events, and Digital Commerce with Confidence

Challenge

Colorado AvidGolfer, a regional media and lifestyle company that publishes Colorado AvidGolfer and Avid Lifestyle, depends on reliable connectivity to support magazine production, digital publishing, online memberships, event registrations, and daily business operations.

When the company moved into its current office, leadership expected internet service to be ready on day one but discovered shortly before move-in that connectivity was not in place. The team had to rely on temporary workarounds to maintain operations while searching for a provider that could deliver service quickly and reliably.

For a business that transfers large production files, depends on cloud-based tools, and processes online transactions daily, unstable or unavailable connectivity directly affects operations and revenue. Any outage could disrupt production schedules, interrupt customer communications, or prevent customers from registering for events and memberships.

Solution

Colorado AvidGolfer needed a provider that could move fast and deliver a stable long-term solution. Segra stepped in with an expedited fiber turn-up, bringing dedicated internet connectivity online quickly so the company could stabilize operations and return to normal workflows. 

Segra provides high-capacity fiber internet connectivity that supports Colorado AvidGolfer’s publishing workflows, digital platforms, and online transactions. The solution delivers the bandwidth required to transfer large design files, high-resolution ad creative, and publication assets while maintaining responsive performance for email, cloud collaboration tools, and day-to-day business systems. 

The connection also supports Colorado AvidGolfer’s public-facing digital platforms, helping ensure websites, online memberships, tournament registrations, and customer transactions remain available and responsive during peak traffic periods.

As the business evolved, Colorado AvidGolfer also worked with Segra to consolidate voice services alongside internet connectivity. Segra replaced legacy hosted phone services with an integrated voice solution running across the same network infrastructure. This reduced vendor complexity, improved support coordination, and lowered overall communications costs.

Segra’s implementation process stood out from the start. Clear project timelines, defined responsibilities, coordinated cutover planning, and consistent communication helped ensure a smooth transition for both internet and voice services. The Segra team remained engaged throughout the process with hands-on guidance and proactive follow-up.

“They’ve done a great job outlining expectations, following through, and making sure everything is done correctly. You can tell they know what they’re doing.”
