SAN DIEGO, July 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- PROTEL Communications Acquires Commpedia
Protel Communications Inc., one of California's largest business technology providers has announced its recent acquisition of Commpedia for an undisclosed amount.
This acquisition is the latest in a series of strategic and accretive transactions that Protel has completed, dating back to May of 2018 when they first acquired Bay Area Advantel Networks' Mitel base of business. Protel then acquired San Diego-based MSP Tranquilnet IT Solutions in September of 2018, Mills Communications of San Diego and Irvine was acquired in October of 2018 and lastly, the merger of Protel and Xtelesis in March of 2019.

These transactions have all dramatically increased the collective customer base of Protel and have also significantly augmented the strength, talent and expertise of the Protel employees and management team. With the Tranquilnet transaction, Will Traenkle was added to the Protel management team, currently serving as V.P. of Data Centers and Cloud Technology. Subsequent to the Mills Communication acquisition, industry veteran David Krietzberg was added to the team serving in the capacity of Chief Financial Officer, and the Xtelesis merger adds Scott Strochak as Chief Technology Officer. All have been instrumental in guiding the business operations and augment an already tenured and polished management team. Both David Krietzberg and Scott Strochak have been instrumental in managing the expansion of the Protel technology offerings as well as developing the joint entity, ProTelesis, which will be revealed to the general public August 2019.

Protel CEO, Michael Promotico, commented by saying, "The Protel Board of Directors unanimously voted in favor of this transaction, and we are all extremely enthusiastic about the diversity of products that we can now offer our entire customer base in all regions across California and throughout the State of Utah.

As a result of these transactions, and the team assembled, its safe to say, Protel simply stands unparalleled in the communications industry.
