Power Line Systems

It develops, sells and supports software for the design of overhead electric power transmission, distribution, and communication lines. That is the short version of Power Line Systems. The job it does: managing your IT, from help desk to infrastructure, as an outside partner.

It makes the most sense for small and mid-sized companies. Alongside the main category they mention Consulting, Electrical Distribution, Electronics, Energy and Industrial Design. As a small company team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Power Line Systems is based in Madison, Wisconsin. More on powerlinesystems.com.
