Providence, R.I., July 19th, 2011—Annese & Associates, Inc. is cementing its footprint into the New England terrain as the company remains steadfast and dedicated to growing its new office base in Providence, Rhode Island, which will serve as the hub for customers throughout the New England region.
Annese is proving its commitment to strengthening credibility in this new territory with the recent hiring of Mahendra Jog, a CCIE, who will add depth to Annese’s leading service organization and provide a highly certified technical resource for customers across the New England states.
Going into its 41st year in business as a leading telecommunications VAR with eight offices and 95 employees positioned throughout New York State, Annese recently expanded its reach into New Jersey, New York City, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont to begin cultivating new client relationships and extend their expertise in leading technology solutions and branded professional services.
The company, which has jumped 62 spots from 2010 on the prestigious VAR500 list, has experienced healthy growth in year-over-year revenue, has continued to recruit and retain highly certified individuals in the industry, and has expanded their offerings to continually better serve the needs of their customer base. The company leaders feel well positioned to show New England how customer intimacy is defined at Annese—a term that the company has built a reputation on for four decades and which has remained the cornerstone of their business practices.
Annese’s market focus consists of the education, healthcare, commercial, and state and local government space. Annese has been a long-time certified Silver Partner to Cisco, providing unified communications solutions to build the foundation for businesses while allowing for future growth and scalability.
Annese recently launched two new managed service offerings, one featuring next-generation collaboration tools, and the other as a fully monitored and maintained green service which remotely powers down high consuming IP audio and visual devices after working hours end. This green managed service, called Halo Energy SolutionsTM, is helping organizations and schools significantly reduce the hefty costs associated with wasted energy consumption while enabling them to achieve their “green” goals.
This family owned organization is recognized as a Woman Owned Business Enterprise in the states of New York, New Jersey, and Vermont with plans to gain additional certifications throughout the New England states. Mahendra Jog joins Account Manager for the region, Steve Leach, and Eastern Account Service Coordinator, Shala Pelloni, who are each based in Rhode Island. Mahendra will be the company’s newest Network Consultant, reporting to Chief Technology Officer and fellow CCIE, Rus Healy.
