UPSTACK Acquires Performance Networks

UPSTACK, an expanding platform for digital infrastructure, announced its acquisition of Denver-based telecommunications consulting firm, Performance Networks. The terms of the deal remain undisclosed but it is a strategic move that will bolster UPSTACK’s service offerings and expand its team with the inclusion of Performance Networks' experienced staff.

Shawn Nus, the Founder and President of Performance Networks, will join UPSTACK as a partner.

Performance Networks is best known for its expertise in sourcing and managing complex telecom networks, primarily catering to large enterprises. The company’s consultants provide customer support across various stages, including requirement analysis, design, vendor selection, contract negotiation, project management, billing, and ongoing account support.

Established in 2010 by Nus after over a decade in carrier sales, he wanted to find a better way than having to push specific products. Nus chose to become a vendor-agnostic consultant, offering clients a variety of options and solutions. Starting as a solopreneur, Nus quickly achieved success, allowing him to expand his team and focus on business growth. The company grew organically through word-of-mouth referrals and strong client relationships.

To maintain its award-winning growth trajectory while ensuring high-quality customer care and after considering various options, including hiring and selling, Nus decided to partner with UPSTACK.

UPSTACK’s team of technology experts and robust resources, such as project management tools, quoting systems, and a customer portal for status and inventory tracking will allow the company to continue expanding its digital infrastructure platform and delivering superior services to its clients.

“Nurturing our relationships and building customer confidence have been keys to our success,” said Nus. “Our clients trust us because we’ve always been there for them through the years, and they can depend on us to continue supporting them with best-in-class solutions and high-quality customer care.”

“Joining UPSTACK gives me the peace of mind that my customers are well taken care of,” said Nus. “UPSTACK has developed an integration plan so I can continue to advise my customers, hold their hands through the process and ensure their needs are met. I’m confident they will find a happy home with UPSTACK’s all-star team.”
