What They're Saying About AMS

"AMS's ARO system provides the IP/MPLS Forum with a user friendly and flexible way to collaborate on the development of standards, liaisons, management documents and marketing collateral."

—David Sinicrope, IP/MPLS Forum Vice-Chairman.

"I have been associated with AMS for more than 11 years in positions with Ameritech, AT&T, and in my present position with Intel Corporation. I have found AMS to be professional, thorough and timely in the management of DSL Forum business.  AMS has demonstrated exceptional day to day performance and they are always ready to go "over and above" to address unexpected demands.  For example, in 2003 a natural disaster occurred just weeks before one of our quarterly meetings.  The DSL Forum was scheduled to host a meeting in Prague, but a flood literally crippled the city and forced us to consider cancellation of our quarterly session.  Within a week of the flood, AMS had taken all necessary steps to move the venue site from Prague to London. It was completed without disruption to dates, expenses or work flow. This AMS effort amazed the Board and it is still widely discussed as a high point in our history with AMS...a major crisis was averted by AMS competency and customer focused mindset."

—Phil Skeba, Service Provider Industry Director, Intel Corporation, and DSL Forum, recently renamed the Broadband Forum, Board Member.

"We were able to leverage AMS' experience in starting up groups to get our own forum up and running quickly. AMS helped us navigate a minefield of government filings and regulations to establish our not for profit status and protect our members' intellectual property. AMS has helped us recruit new members and given us a neutral industry presence leading to collaboration and innovation."

—Andrew Malis, Verizon, IP/MPLS Forum President.

"We felt that AMS offered the best solution for the IETF. AMS offered a strong combination of association management experience and opportunities for innovation. AMS provides a full suite of services to the IETF, which will help this international community do its important work more efficiently."

—Russ Housley, IETF Chair

"AMS has served the Gaming Standards Association for 5 years.  A consistent support team focused solely on GSA's goals has been invaluable in guiding us through difficult times and permitting GSA to focus on standards development rather than administration.  AMS has been a key factor in our achieving success."

—Lyle Bell, chairman of the Gaming Standards Association, senior vice president of information technology for the Seminole Indian Gaming Operations

"After being with AMS for more than a decade, we have seen our membership grow along with our industry presence. We had aggressive goals for publishing standards and AMS' staff and online tools helped us reach those goals. They continue to help us reach milestone after milestone."

—Joe Berthold, Ciena, Founding OIF Technical Committee Chair and OIF Past President
