Metafore takes
over PLM Practice from Axian
Expands Operations to Pacific-Northwest Region
San Juan Capistrano, CA and Beaverton, OR, February
8, 2007 – Metafore and Axian have concluded an agreement
to transfer Axian’s Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
practice to Metafore. This will best serve the needs of both
Axian’s software development customers and Axian’s PLM
customers. This move allows Axian to remain strongly focused
upon Software Engineering and Web Services Programming while
Metafore further strengthens its Product Lifecycle
Management consulting and delivery capabilities.
Laila Hirr will serve as Director of
Business Solutions and Manager of Metafore’s Pacific
Northwest Office and will be transitioning Axian’s PLM
customers to Metafore during the month of February, 2007.
Metafore will maintain the current Axian service delivery
team, which will augment the already existing expertise and
allow Metafore to provide even broader support to existing
and new clients.
"We are excited about
Laila and her team joining us" says Andreas Lindenthal,
Principal of Metafore. "Our teams have very complementary
capabilities, and our customers will quickly experience the
additional value our combined teams can provide. It will
also further strengthen our position as an independent PLM
solution provider".
Axian’s Product Software
Engineering and Web Services customers will not be affected
by this change.
