VSGi demonstrated a wide variety of capabilities, demanded by MiCTA's strict contract-award requirements, including fiscal reporting, customer references, broad geographical coverage, service offerings, product line breadth, and overall customer value. This new contract also earns VSGi the status of an Endorsed MiCTA vendor—the highest recognition awarded—so that MiCTA members can trust that VSGi can provide a complete comprehensive solution to meet their requirements. VSGi has continued to prove proficiencies in several areas coupled with positive feedback from members partnered with VSGi, which led to MiCTA's award decision.

“Today's organizations can become both more productive and more cost effective at the same time,” said Donald K. Jones, Chief Executive Officer at VSGi.  “MiCTA's contract lets schools, governments and non-profits have easy access to VSGi's video conferencing equipment and AV integration services. VSGi's solutions save time and money wasted on travel and help organizations go green and improve productivity.”

VSGi offers members a complete selection of videoconferencing equipment, professional services as well as network and bridging services. VSGi has not only maintained Platinum Partner levels with POLYCOM® and TANDBERG, but was also the first nationwide MiCTA partner to attain Polycom's distinguished Certified Service Provider (CSP) status. VSGi has also proven its value demonstrating both veteran experience as a conference room integrator and network solutions provider.

“I am pleased to welcome VSGi back as an Endorsed MiCTA vendor for Video Integration and related services,” said John Sundstrom, President at MiCTA. “VSGi has achieved the Endorsed status by participating in the highly competitive Request for Proposal Process and has been selected as an Endorsed vendor by a committee of experts in the field. The fact that VSGi has been awarded another MiCTA Master Service Agreement is evidence of a consistent record of high standards of service.”

Continuing its effectiveness at creating solutions to meet the needs of MiCTA members, VSGi continues to lead in service and support with an in-house 24/7/365 help desk which has maintained at least a 96% overall customer satisfaction rating, conducted by third party market research firm Boston Research Group.
