“Portfolio Communications Solutions was instrumental in our company’s relocation. With their recommendation to change carriers, we were able to cut our communication’s spend by 75%, monthly. They introduced us to several phone vendors to replace our old system, sold our old phone system, and managed all aspects of our communication’s move. Based on other bids, we estimate that using PCS and their partners saved us over $95,000.”
Patrick Flynn, Partner, Main Street Trading

“Mark Szotkowski and PCS offered to perform an audit of our current telecom services and billing. We knew that there would be potential savings due to recent downsizing. When he presented his audit analysis we were shocked by his findings. We had been paying for several point to point circuits that were supposed to be disconnected over a year ago, as well as dozens of business lines. PCS saved us $12,000 in monthly recurring costs. Recommendations to transition from our Frame Relay network to a MPLS network should produce an additional $850 in monthly savings.”
Eric Bender, IT Manager, Refco.

· “We were referred to Portfolio Communications Solutions from a vendor in Florida. The vendor stated that if Sungard needed data services and assistance for company event then the company to contact was PCS. I engaged with PCS and was relieved to find a group that understood my needs from technical and logistical levels. We contracted PCS to deliver the data network for a regional product training role out, where all of our West coast employees would be trained. Mark Szotkowski understood that the data network would be mission critical to the event’s success. I was impressed that PCS had the network up and operational prior to the event. He project managed to the most minuet detail, consistently updating us on progress, and he was on-site when we initiated the VPN to corporate. The event went off without any network incidents. The next time we need assistance in CA, PCS will be the first communications vendor we call.”
Jason Kaye, IT Manager, Sungard Availability Services

· “For several years I wanted to offer my customers voice and data, network services. The challenge was finding a carrier that shared my belief about customer service. Once I met Mark Szotkowski of Portfolio Communications Solutions, I felt I finally have a company that shares my commitment to customer service. His Vendor Partner Program was the first I had seen that focused on the customers and how they would benefit from the program. It is a very organized soft sale approach which is just what I wanted for my customers. The processes and documentation, of the program, was certainly the first time a vendor had presented such a detailed proposal. We have been working together for several months and I am very pleased with the results thus far.”
Rick Iverson, President, Bottom Line Communications

· “I have worked with Mark from PCS for several years and when it came time to review our telecom needs and expenses he was the first one I thought of. PCS was able to move us to a better technology at the same cost. The additional features and functionality have increased efficiency and freed up a resource for more important duties.”
