NEW YORK, NY– SmartChoice (SmartChoice), a leading technology provider, today announced their partnership with The Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies’ (FPWA) Group Purchasing Services (GPS). With this new partnership, SmartChoice becomes the first telecommunications consulting and management company to join GPS.

“GPS continually looks for opportunities to provide innovative technologies and sustainable products and services to our purchasing partners, stated John Goodwin, Group Purchasing Manager for FPWA”. “We believe communication matters. Organizations that communicate well are stronger, smarter, and more effective at creating change.”

GPS connects FPWA members, Worker Cooperatives, and nonprofit agencies with 501(c) (3) status in a purchasing partnership where they enjoy the benefits of discounted pricing from vendors without buying large quantities. Taking a strategic approach to their partner’s business needs, GPS carefully selects vendors based on values such as customer service, reliability, integrity, affordability and more.

As a full-service telecommunications provider, SmartChoice offers a wide range of services including their “5 Tools of Enterprise” which consists of cabling infrastructure, hosted voice, data/internet, wireless and audiovisual solutions. Unlike most telecom providers, Smart Choice designs fully customizable solutions focusing on specific company needs–eliminating unnecessary costs associated with traditional service packages. By pinpointing each company’s exact needs, SmartChoice designs cost-effective, flexible and scalable solutions that help boost productivity and efficiency.

“We are excited to be partnered with GPS and look forward to providing our solutions for FPWA members,” stated Elisa Caro, SmartChoice’s Director of Sales. “With the best service and support in the industry combined with our low pricing structure, we are confident in our ability to strengthen and enhance our customer’s telecom experience.”

SmartChoice has built a reputation for superior service with unsurpassed reliability and 24x7x365 U.S. based support.
