## ISNetworld Contractor Operator, Mears Holdings, Featured in Vanguard Law Magazine

Mike Smith, EVP & General Counsel of Mears Holdings, a new ISN Contractor Operator, was recently showcased in [Vanguard Law Magazine.](https://www.vanguardlawmag.com/case-studies/mike-smith-mears/) In the article, Mike discussed how ISNetworld helps with one of Mears biggest initiatives: vetting subcontractors.

Headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, Mears Holdings is a Quanta Services Company, offering engineering and construction maintenance services to the oil and natural gas, electric transmission and distribution, telecommunications, and wastewater industries. Mears Holdings implemented ISNetworld to help streamline subcontractor evaluation and qualification.

“Even though we are a large company, we must be nimble and quick like a small company,” Smith says. “Often, we get a call on Friday needing someone on-site Monday. We must move fast, but we can’t cut corners on safety, insurance, or financial stability.”

ISN is pleased to provide ISNetworld tools and services needed to help Mears Holdings simplify its subcontractor management program.
