PRESIDENT / CEO

Nita R. Putnam

Nita entered the telecommunications industry at a time of major change. She joined Executive Systems after graduating from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1984 and eventually assumed operations after her father retired.

Her experience spans the industry’s transition from traditional answering machines, automated attendants, voicemail and PBX systems to today’s hosted and cloud-based voice communications. Through those changes, the company has continued to focus on helping businesses choose communication tools that fit their needs, budget, existing equipment, and plans for growth.

The Putnam family philosophy has remained straightforward: customers and quality matter.

A BUSINESS TOOL, NOT JUST A PHONE

Your communication system should earn its worth.

ESI’s long-standing view is that business communications should help companies serve customers, manage work more efficiently, and make the most of opportunities—not simply add technology for technology’s sake.



Make Every Call Count

How a business answers the phone contributes to a caller’s first impression. A system should help customers reach the right people without unnecessary friction.



Improve Efficiency

Call capacity, routing, and distribution can affect how effectively staff serve customers and manage daily telephone traffic.



Protect the Investment

Upgrading only what is needed, keeping compatibility in mind, and choosing dependable equipment can help extend the useful life of a communications investment.

SERVICE AFTER THE SALE

Support is part of the system.

Executive Systems has long emphasized experienced, factory-trained service, timely repairs, customer training, and careful product selection. The live-site philosophy is simple: customers should not have to experiment with poorly supported equipment when dependable alternatives are available.

Where the equipment supports it, remote diagnostics can also help with repairs, additions, and changes to existing systems.

A LONG-TERM VIEW

Choose what works. Support it well. Change it when the business needs to change.

That approach has allowed ESI to move from early telephone and messaging products into modern hosted and cloud-based communications while keeping the customer relationship at the center.
