    About Company

    Ronald Podmilsak founded PGTEK in 2000 to provide IT professional services and geospatial analysis to the U.S. Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense. That same year, his son Scott Podmilsak founded Strategic Business Systems, Inc. (SBS), an IT Infrastructure services firm. Scott Podmilsak and his management team had tremendous success and in 2008 he sold SBS to Brocade Communications (NASDAQ: BRCD). In 2010 Scott Podmilsak joined PGTEK as the Chief Executive Officer and board member. Upon joining, Scott reassembled the relevant executive team that he had created at SBS. Together again, this seasoned team of executives have been applying the lessons learned in technology, operations, customer service, and employee morale to create a firm that greatly surpasses their last endeavor. Today, PGTEK is an industry leader in geospatial and datacenter technologies servicing both the commercial and federal market segments with innovative solutions
