PERI Software expands offices to LA's Wells Fargo Tower



PERI Software Solutions Expands Global Consulting and Technology Services 

"We believe
Los Angeles leads the Pacific Rim in just about every industry and we want to help business grow to meet the regional and international markets," said President & CEO Sarav Periasamy, PERI Software


Los Angeles, CA/ Newark, NJ PERI Software, based in New Jersey 
announced today it has opened new offices in the Wells Fargo Tower
in the business district of downtown Los Angeles to offer its 
advanced global business solutions to a high demand market in
Southern California. 

"After servicing clients in California and on the West Coast,
we realized it was vital to bring
our services closer to a
rapidly growing technology market," explained President
and CEO Sarav Periasamy, PERI Software.  "We have just
opened an office here, because, we believe Los Angeles 
leads the Pacific Rim in just about every industry 
and we want to help business grow to meet the technology needs of 
regional and international markets."
 
A recent SoCal economic forecast finds that technology, tourism and 
international trade will be the leading industries to the economic recovery. 
Research reveals that the business demand for technology products was 
very weak in the first three quarters of 2009, when
businesses were reducing costs drastically in order to survive the recession. 
But, demand picked up noticeably during the fourth quarter and sales of
technology products held up better on the consumer side.
 
“PERI delivers technology-based business solutions to help organizations 
worldwide control costs and cultivate growth by drawing on our deep industry 
expertise,” said Periasamy. “We help companies facing growing pains by 
blending a strategic design, proven technology, and timely delivery of 
creative solutions that brings the best returns on IT investments.” 
 
PERI is a global consulting and technology services company specializing
in industry-specific solutions, strategic outsourcing and integration services.
The company was founded in 1999, and has grown to more than 700 
employees worldwide. In addition to the new Los Angeles office, it 
also has offices in San Jose, offshore facilities in Chennai, India and
the PERI headquarters in Newark, NJ. 
 
“Technology will be one of the strongest industries to lead the recovery,”
said Periasamy. “PERI is confident that we can play a vital role in meeting 
the technology industry business solutions needs, which is why we have 
expanded in Los Angeles.”
 
Sales of technology products held up better on the consumer side 
according to published reports. Purchases of products like computers, 
flat TV, and cell phones increased last year despite the recession and 
will continue to grow in 2010.
 
 “There’s always demand for the well-designed personal gadgets 
like iPods and smart cell phones with media players, but business
is in transition to smart technology products, too, of which we produce 
so business can cut costs and get the job done in less time,” 
said Periasamy. 

“We are constantly hiring software engineers and employees to 
meet growing technology demands.”

2010 Keeper of the Flame Award Goes To......

“ITEP has become successful thanks to the hard work and dedication of Geraldine Knatz and the Port of Los Angeles staff  who have supported us,” said ITEP CEO & Founder Carol Rowen

Los Angeles, CA — International Trade Education Programs (ITEP), will honor Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Geraldine Knatz, Ph.D., with the 2010 Keeper of the Flame Award, Thursday, April 22nd at its 10th Annual Scholarship Awards and Fundraiser Dinner in San Pedro.


Knatz, who is the first female executive director of the Port of Los Angeles, oversees the daily operations and management of the nation’s number one container port. Under her leadership, the Port has reduced air emissions and health risks while expanding capital development programs to accommodate the port’s future growth as a premiere Pacific Gateway and national economic engine.


“ITEP has become successful thanks to the hard work and dedication of Geraldine Knatz and the Port of Los Angeles staff who have supported us for the last decade,” said ITEP CEO & Founder Carol Rowen. “The Port offers internships that better prepare the students for the marketplace.”


Under Knatz’s leadership, the San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan was created and implemented in November 2006. The Plan has paved the way for the Los Angeles Harbor Commission to approve two major container terminal expansion projects and a new deep-draft marine oil terminal. While her impressive tenure at the Port of Long Beach spanned two decades, Knatz began her maritime career as an environmental scientist at the Port of Los Angeles in 1977.


Before returning to the Port of Los Angeles in 2006, Knatz previously served as managing director of the neighboring Port of Long Beach. As the number two executive at the Port of Long Beach, she oversaw a $2.3 billion capital improvement program and spearheaded a number of environmental initiatives, including development of the Green Port Policy.


“The Port of Los Angeles has been a huge leader in keeping the torch lit at ITEP,” said ITEP Board Chairman Tom Good of Matson Navigation. “We would not be here today without the support from the ports and contributions from corporations and the international trade industry. They’re changing lives of high school students with career opportunities offering life changing work experiences.”  For the full story visit: http://tinyurl.com/yfvsg8w
