TeleData

What TeleData does

TeleData is a privately held, family-owned telecommunications and IT infrastructure services integrator headquartered in Goshen, Indiana, serving the Michiana region of Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan. The company's core offering is end-to-end design, installation, and ongoing support for business communications, structured cabling, fiber optics, IP camera systems, paging and intercom systems, and horizontal boring for underground cable deployment. It also delivers commercial and residential security solutions — including 24/7 monitoring, intrusion detection, access control, fire safety, construction site monitoring, and, more recently, vape detection — alongside a parallel cloud services platform (teledatacloudservices.com) offering managed services, UCaaS/CCaaS, IoT connectivity, SD-WAN, and managed security. TeleData operates as a multi-vendor certified partner/reseller for leading technology brands including RingCentral, Mitel, 8x8, Panasonic, Axis Communications, Corning, CommScope, and BICSI.

The business operates with roughly 21 staff (executives, technicians, sales, and support) under a quote-based pricing model with free consultation, generating revenue from three streams: one-time project-based installation work (telephone systems, cabling, fiber, boring), recurring subscription revenue from 24/7 security and fire monitoring, and managed IT/cloud services delivered as ongoing contracts. Customer segments are segmented horizontally across business/commercial clients (its primary segment), residential homeowners, and educational institutions, with named enterprise customers such as Grand Design RV — whose network infrastructure the company has supported through growth from startup to 1,600+ employees. The company was originally founded/incorporated by Lee J. Nisley in 1989 (operating since 1980) and transitioned in May 2018 to current owners Wes Miller (CFO) and Micah Miller (CEO), who have subsequently expanded the cloud services portfolio, content marketing presence, and product breadth.

The go-to-market is sales-led direct field engagement with a regional footprint, supplemented by certified vendor partnerships that enable multi-brand solution delivery. Marketing is content-driven via a blog covering fiber optics, security, IoT, and cloud topics, supported by SEO and online service-request forms. There is no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or institutional capital, no M&A activity, and no expansion beyond the Michiana geography, positioning TeleData as a stable, regionally embedded services business rather than a venture-scaled growth company.
