Building on Neudesic's commitment to be the leading provider of optimized solutions that leverage the capabilities of the Microsoft platform, Neudesic announced today that it has expanded its presence in the Western Region. This expansion includes opening offices in both Seattle, Washington and Denver, Colorado. With the recent hire of Sal Manzo, Vice President of Western Region Services, Neudesic has positioned itself strategically for this growth. Mr. Manzo joined the Neudesic executive team with over fourteen years of experience in the software services industry; much of that time was with the software giant, Microsoft. Mr. Manzo's leadership will be vital in the organization and start-up phase of these offices. "We are excited about this expansion. Our research tells us that the Seattle and Denver markets are an excellent fit for the software services and solutions Neudesic provides." Mr. Manzo continued, "This also puts us in a strong cooperative position with the Microsoft offices in those areas." Additionally, Neudesic recently hired Regional Director, Mike Smith to help establish the Denver office. Having over seventeen years with large enterprise business system deployments and management of global professional services teams, Mr. Smith brings a wealth of experience to manage and direct the Denver team. Mr. Smith stated, "I am very excited about the growth opportunity for Neudesic in Denver. The combination of the industry expertise combined with a strong product strategy, positions Neudesic well in the Denver market. The opening of the Denver office provides us with the ability to serve our current clients with operations in this market while allowing us to offer our products and services to other organizations in the Rocky Mountain area." "Neudesic's move into Denver and Seattle is a natural progression of our strategic plan to create an organization with national delivery capability. The expansion of our reach into these markets, as well as our recent foray into the Eastern United States, will help further solidify our strong partnership with Microsoft, and enable us to service our growing customer base more efficiently," said Parsa Rohani, CEO of Neudesic. The continued success of Neudesic comes from the solid leadership team, the ability to attract and develop extremely talented resources, investment in the research and development of new products, and the dedication to its partnerships. All of these qualities make the company a highly competitive leader within the industry.
