and Marketing Consulting Firm
RALEIGH, N.C. (February 2, 2004) - International IT
Services (IITS) announced it will partner with IG Interactive
of RTP to provide software development services for
high tech startups. IG Interactive provides strategy,
marketing and technical product launch consulting services
to clients in Research Triangle Park. The move is designed
to bring together the technology and marketing resources
of the two companies to better address the growing needs
of North Carolina startup companies. As these companies
form, they require strategic advice and technology development
with tangible results. The two companies aim to lower
the cost and time-to-market for their clients.
“We were looking for a partner with integrity
and a set of values that reflected our own,” said
Gerry Lipscomb, President of IG Interactive. In a time
when the economy is picking up, IG Interactive will
be able to secure a flexible pool of resources to expand
development on on-going projects and new accounts. “We
remain committed to providing the best value and service
to our clients, and partnering with IITS strengthens
our value proposition, increases our capacity, and reduces
time-to-market for new products,” continued Lipscomb.
The two companies will target early stage businesses
in North Carolina with the goal bringing their technology
services and products to market rapidly and sharing
in the revenue and equity of their clients.
Peter Dolina, VP for Business Development at IITS,
described the partnership as an effective approach to
reach out to the entrepreneurial community. “The
two companies share a common way of doing business—we
are committed to North Carolina and we believe job creation
begins with entrepreneurial people and the companies
they build.” Michael Le, CEO of International
IT Services praised the deal for opening more channels
for the business. “The door is wide open—if
you want to build a profitable business, you will come
to us because of the cost advantage and the experience
of launching businesses successfully in this market.”
With a growing team in the US, Australia and Vietnam,
and new offices scheduled to open in China, International
IT Services has positioned itself as a partner for growing
and emerging companies in the Research Triangle Park.
