Ronkonkoma, N.Y. -- July 8, 2008 -- VAI (Vormittag Associates, Inc.) (www.vai.net), one of the United States’ leading developers of enterprise software solutions for the distribution, manufacturing, retail and service industries, and an IBM Premier Business Partner, this week celebrates its 30th year in business. Founded by CEO, Bob Vormittag in 1978, VAI has grown from a regional software development firm to its current position as a prominent industry leader with a growing share of the global marketplace. VAI’s steady expansion into new vertical areas combined with its continuous product development initiatives serves as the cornerstone of the company’s innovative strategy to secure further market penetration.
Bob Vormittag, President & CEO, VAI, said, “When I launched VAI in 1978, I envisioned a software firm that was customer-focused, technology-driven and market adaptable. Today, as we celebrate our 30th year in business, our expansion into industries and locations around the globe is greater than I had initially imagined. VAI continually strives to meet the needs of international businesses, large and small, and this year we will introduce our most advanced software to date with S2K 5.0. VAI’s software, together with the IBM Power™ Systems platform, will lead us into the future with a technology solution that continues the VAI tradition of providing flexible, scalable, easily implementable and affordable enterprise management software.”
A few of the firm’s major goals in the last year have focused on continued corporate expansion, new client implementations and research and development initiatives.
Corporate Expansion: VAI is headquartered in Ronkonkoma, New York, with branch offices in Miami, Orlando, Newport Beach and Oroville, California. VAI recently opened a new office in Oak Brook, Illinois, located 20 miles west of downtown Chicago. The new location strategically placed VAI to tap the local pool of highly qualified technical professionals who reside in the region. As the second site in the Chicago Metro area, (the first location was opened in Yorkville, 50-miles West of Chicago), VAI is well positioned to service the enterprise software needs in these areas.
VAI’s numerous strategic alliances across the globe continue to help the company reach it sales and marketing objectives. Through the company’s on-going partner expansion, VAI recently added a prominent new alliance with Mid-Range Computer Group (www.midrange.ca). This partnership expands VAI’s S2K Enterprise software suite throughout Canada, increasing the company’s exposure in the Canadian enterprise management industry. A number of VAI’s partner alliances include companies with technology meant to enhance its S2K Software Solutions, while providing clients with the added functionality needed to grow their businesses. The integration of UPS Logistics Technologies Roadnet® Transportation Suite this year allows VAI’s customers to generate numerous routing options for maximized fleet investment, especially critical with the steady increase in oil prices.
Additionally, VAI partnered with Stony Brook University’s Center of Excellence in Wireless & Information Technology (CEWIT) (www.cewit.org). Stony Brook computer science graduate students are providing programming resources to aid VAI in the development of several e-commerce applications utilizing IBM’s Websphere® software.
Research & Development Initiatives: VAI has always made addressing customer’s needs a high-priority. The company has added hundreds of new features and capabilities to its applications that continue to promote best practice concepts to help companies improve operational efficiencies and achieve their business objectives. VAI’s new release, version 5.0 of its S2K Enterprise Management Software is its most dramatic release to date.
New Client Implementations: In the past year, VAI has dynamically expanded its worldwide customer base from various vertical markets, including the manufacturing, distribution and retail industries. Among the company’s 750 customers are major brands such as Dunkin’ Donuts, Roto Rooter, Turtle Wax, Konica and Baccarat Crystal. |
