In other words, we're here to keep the world's best companies continuant.
CONTINUANT /kənˈtinyo͞oənt/
(noun) a thing that retains its identity as it adapts to an ever-changing environment.

Doug Graham and Bruce Shelby founded Telecom Labs, Inc., a phone systems dealer serving the Pacific Northwest.
Instead of merely selling phone systems, Graham and Shelby saw an opportunity and market need for maintenance and support providers and made a massive business shift to a service provider model.
While most businesses were forging deeper partnerships with OEMs like Avaya, TLI found success by moving to a Third-Party Maintenance model. It set a precedent in the industry for the freedom of choice in a maintenance provider.
As Microsoft and Cisco began to emerge as frontrunners, we strategically partnered with them.
As our service offering continued to expand, we needed a new name. We wanted our name to better reflect who we are, so Telecom Labs became Continuant. At the same time, we finalized our first acquisition, DialPro Northwest.
