Logicalis Announces New Seattle-Area Location

    BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI, January 26, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- "We have a great new location along the I-90 corridor, and an impressive new place in the Seattle area to hang our hats every single workday," explains Shaun Olsen, vice president, consulting, for Logicalis, Inc.

Logicalis, an international solution provider with its U.S. headquarters in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, also boasts a large Seattle-area office location in Bellevue, Washington. The company's Bellevue location came into existence a decade ago through the acquisition of another local company, Puget Sound Systems Group (PSSG), in 2000. Today, Logicalis' local division has just moved into a new, nearly 7,000-sf office at 14725 SE 36th Street, Suite 420, in Bellevue. Soon, Logicalis' company logo and signage will be among other well-known corporations visible from I-90 in the Eastgate area, including T-Mobile, Quadrant Homes, John L. Scott Real Estate, Quantum and Healthways.

"When a company of this size remains in the same area year after year, through acquisitions and building changes, you know it's committed to the people that work here, the community it resides in, and the local customers that it serves," Olsen says. "At Logicalis, we are proud to call Bellevue home."

When Logicalis purchased PSSG, which had been a Seattle-area employer since 1986, PSSG was focused solely on application development and integration. This was the perfect complement to Logicalis' strong multi-national presence as an IT solution provider. Today, Logicalis has offices across the U.S., UK, Germany, Latin America and Asia Pacific and provides data center services, managed services, unified communications solutions and application services combined with products from Cisco, HP, IBM and Microsoft.

"While application development is just one key area of focus for Logicalis, it is the expertise of our valued employees in this area that has served as a tie between Logicalis and the Seattle area. We are proud of what we have accomplished here, and plan to stay and grow in this area for a long time to come," Olsen says, noting that the company's new lease includes accommodations for future expansions as the company continues to hire and employ local talent.

Logicalis helped a local company, GridNetworks, gain a competitive advantage with a Web services portal for its media customers to manage their video services. Learn more by visiting http://www.us.logicalis.com/custexp_gridnetworks.html.

"At Logicalis, we never sit back and rest. We know that, for our business to be competitive, we have to help our clients' businesses be competitive. We are continually working, investing, and upgrading our own best practices so that we can help our clients do the same," Olsen says. "In some instances, that means upgrading our technology and infrastructure. In other instances, it means upgrading our physical location."
