Cox Communications

For David Deliman, Cox Communications is more than just a service provider; they’re a community partner.

Deliman, who oversees Cox’s Gulf Coast market (Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa and Walton counties), has witnessed his company make it possible for businesses to survive and thrive within the region for the past 21 years of his career.

“Whether it’s a small, mom-and-pop store, like a dry cleaner’s, or a larger organization, hospital, military base, or financial institution, we want to provide the technology and support these entities need to grow and flourish,” David Deliman says. “We’re not simply here to make a profit. We want to foster a successful community and reinvest in it through service, jobs, infrastructure, and partnerships.”

That commitment and integrity toward the markets Cox serves is what Deliman believes characterizes them from other service providers. “We’re not just selling cookie-cutter packages,” he says. “We are devoted to tailoring our solutions to each business to make sure we’re providing the correct level of services and support to help them prosper.”

Those solutions could be anything from Cox’s 24/7 IT support team to the implementation of self-service portals so clients may easily access their accounts and information without assistance. Also, Cox assists businesses in adapting to contemporary hybrid work models, offering scalable bandwidth, cloud solutions and remote work support.

“Agility is key, and our tools and technology help enable that agility,” Deliman says.

Boasting a 99.9 percent network reliability, Cox fosters growth for the business community through steady, reliable connectivity that is simultaneously safe and secure.

“We are proud to have world-class, cloud-managed cybersecurity solutions,” Deliman says. “We’re devoted to helping businesses safeguard their customer’s data to maintain uptime, be it through threat detection or data backup and disaster recovery solutions. It’s especially important to keep the latter in mind. As our area is prone to storms and hurricanes, we want to make sure you’re equipped with the tools and resources to keep your customers online.”

Deliman recalls recently when a new campus was constructed for a major area hospital, where technology is vital in maintaining medical records, patient monitoring, and telehealth remote healthcare. Cox was an integral part of the move, collaborating with the hospital’s IT team to support the new location as well as its other sites to ensure a seamless, successful transition.

Looking toward the future, Deliman says Cox will continue its time-honored tradition of creating a better quality of life within the counties they serve as well as keep adapting to the fast-paced digital landscape.

“We know we have to keep evolving our products and services to keep up with the demand of our consumers, especially as things like AI continue to advance and change the game for all types of businesses,” Deliman says. “We’re going to continue to provide a full suite of services to make life easier for our customers, and make sure we equip our team and clients with all the necessary means they need to stay online and competitive.”
