VIP Acquires Pinnacle Bay Resource Group
SACRAMENTO, CA - August 16, 2005 - Visionary Integration Professionals, LLC (VIP) of Folsom, CA, today announced it has acquired privately held Pinnacle Bay Resource Group, Inc. (PBRG) owned by Ms. Judy Eisenhard and Mr. Mike Eisenhard.
Recently recognized as one of the 100 fastest growing companies by the Sacramento Business Journal, Pinnacle Bay Resource Group is a leading provider of professional converged network and telecommunications project management and consulting services. Founded in 1989 by Judy Eisenhard, a veteran of the telecommunications industry, PBRG has assisted clients in both the public and commercial sectors with small telephony and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) projects, as well as multi-million dollar engagements involving over 5,000 users, including the largest relocation in the history of the State of California.
Based in Sacramento, PBRG's clients include leading telecommunications equipment manufacturers and service providers; federal, state and local government agencies; and private corporations. "PBRG serves clients and a marketplace that is somewhat overlapping with VIP, yet the services are complimentary. This provides us with a tremendous opportunity to better meet the needs of our customers," said Jonna Ward, Founder and President of VIP.
PBRG's broad range of professional services include Telecommunication Project Management and Out-Sourcing; Telecommunication Strategic Planning and Needs Assessments; Converged Network and Voice-Over-IP Procurement Support, Design and Implementation; IVR Script Definition and Multi-Language Translation; Telecommunication Billing Audits; and IP Video Conferencing Solution Deployment.
"PBRG complements and builds upon our existing public sector practice and expands our commercial sector client base," said Ward. "Most importantly, though, PBRG and VIP share the same business philosophies of hard work, dedication to excellence, and commitment to clients and staff."
"The merger of PBRG into VIP will allow us to offer our valued clients an even greater array of professional technology services across the increasingly complex spectrum of converged telecommunications and information technology," said Judy Eisenhard, PBRG's Founder and President. "We are delighted to be part of the VIP team!"
"This acquisition is yet another step in VIP's grand plan to strengthen its core competencies while always remaining committed to quality and client satisfaction," said Ward. "We are excited to welcome PBRG staff and clients to the VIP fold."
