SmartChoice is a managed connectivity service provider that offers a single, streamlined solution for enterprise connectivity, eliminating the complexity of managing multiple vendors, contracts, and support teams.

We are also pleased to welcome SmartChoice founder and managing partner Jarrett Wolfe to the 2025 EDC Board of Governors. Jarrett has devoted his career to helping small businesses, whether it be not-for-profits, where he continuously donates time, money, and resources, or helping CIOs with multimillion-dollar budgets control costs while improving technology.
