February 17, 2016 – Marco announced today the addition of a new Enterprise Network Team
focused exclusively on providing business enablement technology solutions to enterprise
businesses. The hires are part of Marco’s growth strategy to expand its business by investing in highly experienced and technically competent specialists.

The team will enable businesses to solve their toughest technology challenges and uncover
smarter ways of operating across all lines of business. The solutions employed will include
unified communications, data center services, advanced networking services, telepresence,
wireless and cloud. This new team will focus on technology planning, budgeting and deployment
strategies for Marco’s enterprise clients. The end result will be a better client experience and a more integrated, proactive approach to business technology.

The addition of the new team provides more depth to Marco’s growing roster of technology
experts. Earlier this year, Marco achieved the Master Collaboration Specialization from Cisco®. This specialization recognizes Marco as having the ability to represent Master-level business expertise as well as technical efficiency, having fulfilled the training requirements and program prerequisites to sell, deploy and support highly sophisticated applications-based Cisco Collaboration solutions.

Eight of the ten new hires were former Cisco employees and include Sales Director, Todd Erne; Account Managers Bill Peterson, Tom Gust, Jered Schock, and Brett Dahlof; Solution Architects Steve John, Matt Erickson, Mike Burgard, and Justin Jongbloedt; and Consulting Specialist Justin Bigger.

“Adding this tenured group to our team allows us to serve our enterprise accounts more
effectively within all lines of business, not just IT,” said Jonathan Warrey, Marco’s Chief
Operating Officer. “This in-depth focus will help our customers uncover and implement more
impactful solutions across an enterprise.”
