About Vivant

Vivant is a managed connectivity and network services company built for multi-location businesses across restaurants, retail, healthcare, and automotive dealerships. We design, deploy, manage, and monitor business networks that keep our clients' internet, phones, and Wi-Fi running with maximum uptime.
