📅 January 10, 2003 - Communications company Sprint (sprint.com) announced on Thursday that one of the largest household goods carriers in the US, Grabel Companies Inc., has chosen Sprint to provide managed hosting services for its suite of moving management applications.

"We are extremely pleased that we were able to help Graebel Companies, Inc., meet its budget and solution requirements, and ultimately its business goals," said Peter von der Linde, vice president of sales and service delivery, Sprint. "Obviously, in today's competitive market, customers have several choices when selecting a hosting provider. Sprint differentiates itself by offering custom hosting solutions that solve each customer's unique business problems."
