Pomeroy was initially selected by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to provide deskside support services to state agencies in 2004. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania renewed the service agreement with Pomeroy after conducting a competitive bidding process. The service contract is expected to generate $8 million dollars in revenue for Pomeroy over the next two years. The agreement, which is scheduled to begin on October 1, 2009, provides the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania with an option to renew the contract for up to three additional one year renewal terms.
In return, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania expects to save about $1.3 million over the next two years through this contract, according to the Pennsylvania Department of General Services (DGS).
Pomeroy performs deskside support services on more than 74,000 technology devices ranging from desktop printers and laptops to servers and high-speed scanners for Pennsylvania's state agencies, hospitals, schools, colleges, police and fire departments located throughout the Commonwealth.
"Pomeroy has had a very successful relationship with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania," said PJ Thelen, Pomeroy's Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "We believe that the renewal of this important multi-year service contract signifies the Commonwealth's confidence in Pomeroy's ability to consistently perform quality deskside support service throughout Pennsylvania."
