Management

Report

Whether your business is a small vineyard with a handful of employees or a large CPA firm racing to meet critical deadlines, the demand to do more with less is now greater than ever. These demands have made you an authority on multitasking and nobody knows better than you the importance of getting the job done right the first time.

Consulting

Report

Overseeing day-to-day operations demands skill and insight that can only come from years of experience. Knowing when to seek expert guidance to help you execute your vision is what keeps you ahead of your competition. Until now, your options for highly qualified assistance has been limited, and your business does not receive adequate attention from Big 5 firms but is much too complex for the skill set of smaller IT consulting companies. Our highly trained business professionals provide you with common sense solutions that just work.

The Mountain View Los Altos High School District has been working very closely with Portola Systems for the past five years. They are the top VAR (value-added reseller) and absolutely best integrator we work with. Portola's leadership and team of expert engineers has helped MVLA successfully rebuild our entire network and server infrastructure. Portola's team has guided us through planning and installing our entire Cisco Meraki network, the successful adoptions of InfloBlox for DNS filtering, Nutanix to upgrade our entire server stack (and backups), adoption and implementation of ClearPass for industry-standard network authentication, the installation and deployment of Verkada video safety cameras and access control, and many other successful projects that follow the best and safest industry practices. Portola's has also been involved in many high-stakes construction projects for the district and has delivered every single time.

MVLA's digital transformation would not have been possible without the partnership we have with Portola Systems. There is no job too big or too small for them. Their "can-do, here-to-help" approach and expert guidance has been instrumental in creating the best possible services for the students and staff we serve. Every district and organization needs a partner like Portola Systems to guide them through the ever evolving IT world.

We couldn’t be more happy with the level of service and support we get with Portola Systems. They go above and beyond in getting us the best possible deal whether it be with tech equipment, tech installations or IT consulting.

Portola System Inc. either changed their management or something because the customer service ( quote request and ETS/ETA) has gone down hill. I could not get quotes in a timely manner and could not get ETS/ETA for orders placed. Since i work for the County and I have been acquiring all my technology procurements from Portola for over 7 years. Since they don't value my purchases and requests, i have moved on. Currently still have serval PO with them and could not get any ETS/ETA for those items. Stay away if possible. County procurement staff.

Ridiculously Overpriced for Labor. They don't quote you on it prior to ordering. So assume about an extra 2k just to install four computers. Bollocks

I was at Cyrus the other night with some friends that work at a few companies around Sonoma County and we all used Portola Systems. Strange huh? I like to mention random stuff like this on Yelp. You know give credit where credit is due. This company just plan keeps your systems sharp and the people they have are friendly. They know what they do and they do it well.
