Minnesota-based Smart Data Solutions Clarifies its Identity
Smart Data Solutions Inc. addresses confusion with similarly-named Tennessee company recently charged with fraud
Online, April 29, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Apr 29, 2010 - St. Paul, Minnesota - Smart Data Solutions, a Minnesota-based provider of data processing solutions for the health care industry, today announced a campaign to clarify its identity in the wake of fraud charges against a similarly-named Tennessee company.
"We are very concerned that our customers and prospects might confuse our company with the one under investigation by various state regulators," explained Pat Bollom, the company's co-owner. "Because we both serve clients in the health care industry, it is especially critical that we clarify our status as a wholly separate entity."
In recent months, Smart Data Solutions LLC of Tennessee, a subsidiary of American Trade Association, has received complaints for failing to provide adequate services to its customers. This month, Tennessee state regulators ordered the closure and liquidation of Smart Data Solutions, LLC.
"As an independent, Minnesota-based S-Corp, we have absolutely no affiliation with the Tennessee company," continues John Prange, the company's co-owner. "We are taking steps to broadly communicate that we have nothing to do with their business, their illegal practices, or their ownership."
Effective immediately, Smart Data Solutions Inc. will begin emailing clients, prospects and vendors with this critical clarification. Other communications will follow to further underscore the company's separate identity. Meanwhile, anyone in need of further clarification is invited to contact Pat Bollom at 651-690-3140.
