PP&A, INC. WINS BID TO PROVIDE OPTICAL ROUTERS

Marina Del Rey, CA- August 12, 2005 – Pearce, Patterson and Associates, Incorporated has been selected from a long list of vendors to provide pre-owned Cisco Optical routers for a major Telecommunications provider on the East Coast. Executives for the Telecom provider cited the ease with which they are able to work with PP&A and the timeliness of PP&A's information sharing. Anothe major factor was that PP&A was flexible enough to meet the restrictive financial requirements of the project. "This project was unexpected so we didn't have it in the budget. Gary went the extra mile to make sure that our money constraints didn't impact the quality of the project." Stated the director of purchasing. PP&A will be providing a complete Cisco 15454 Optical Router capable of millions of transactions per second. The 15454 router is used in the backbone infrastructure of some of the largest fiber-optic networks in the country.

Gary Patterson, President and CEO of PP&A stated this is a huge win for the East Coast company. These systems are so reliable and the mean-time-to-failure is so long that it doesn't make sense to break your budget buying new when there's so much quality product available on the market. This system would have cost around $1.2 million brand new. That's a lot of money to come up with on an emergency basis. We're providing a genuine Cisco system with a full year's warranty for under $80,000. It's a great deal and I'm happy that we can help them."
