PacStar Wins 2007 Vertical Systems Reseller Magazine All Star VAR Award
PacStar, a technology-based systems integrator that provides total communications solutions to military, government and commercial customers, recently announced that Vertical Systems Reseller Magazine has selected PacStar as the winner of the 2007 VSR All Star VAR Awards in the public sector.
"The All Star VAR recognition is saved for an elite few who have demonstrated excellence in their respective vertical sectors," commented Albert Guffanti, Publisher, Vertical Systems Reseller. "An advisory group of VSR staff poured over the detailed entries and evaluated each nominee for their state-of-the-art technology, their superior service and support, and their plans for growth. In our minds, PacStar best satisfied all of these criteria within the public sector vertical. Congratulations!"
What sets PacStar apart from other companies offering deployable communications is its patented IQ-Core Software. Through a series of intuitive wizards, the software management application enables users with limited technical experience to easily set up a complex communications system. Other competitive offerings require experts with certifications on five or more technologies. The government and the U.S. military see this as a major advantage as it simplifies set-up and operation with fewer people in the field. The IQ-Core Software reduces the likelihood of accidental system mis-configuration - a common problem in highly fluid situations like combat, troop mobilization and disaster response - and provides comprehensive, unattended monitoring and alerts for remote management of the system.
"All of us at PacStar are honored to receive the Vertical Systems Reseller Magazine All Star VAR Award," said Robert Frisbee, CEO of PacStar. "Serving the public sector has long been a focus for us. The knowledge we have gained gives us the unique ability to quickly respond and provide mission-critical communications solutions to military bases in the U.S. or to infrastructure-starved environments in remote areas around the world."
In addition to winning the Vertical Systems Reseller Magazine All Star Award, PacStar's Director of Strategic Initiatives, Josh Furrer was given a Washington Technology Government Channel Leadership Award in August. The award recognized people at companies that work directly with -- and make a difference for -- their customers.
The 2007 Vertical Systems Reseller Magazine All Star VAR Award is featured in its September print edition and can be viewed online at www.pacstar.com/pgs/articles.html.
