HENDERSON, NV - Eleks, Inc. announced plans to grow its U.S operations by opening two new offices which will be located in Atlanta, Georgia and Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
  
Eleks, Inc. is a software and hardware engineering services and product company with specific expertise in remote staff augmentation, distributed project management, software quality assurance, product localization, as well as full life-cycle application design, development, and support.

Driven by tremendous sales growth and the acquisition of a number of new U.S. customers in 2008, Eleks continues to progress in its long-term strategies by strengthening its East Coast presence with the addition of sales and support teams in two of the regions most vibrant business environments.

“Eleks is well-known to its customers for its strong technical skills and ability to deliver results: whatever it takes. When building software solutions today, we always think how they will help meet customers’ needs of tomorrow. Establishment of new offices in Atlanta and Boston will enable better service for our customers located in North America.. 

"The combination of our technical and economic advantage should prove to be hard to resist for companies looking to re-vitalize their competitive advantage,” said Dave Fuller, the CEO and Managing Partner of Eleks, Inc.

By expanding its U.S. operations, Eleks is pursuing delivery of higher quality services on an even larger international scale than was previously possible. The purpose of this expansion is to take advantage of the strengthening U.S. market at a time when most competitors are still addressing the effects caused by the recent global economic down turn.

For 10 years Eleks (www.eleks.com) has been invested in building trust of its customers both in the U.S. and abroad. 

OFFSHORE DEVELPMENT CENTERS LOCATED IN WESTERN UKRAINE 
Its offshore development centers located in Western Ukraine [Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kremenchuk, and Ternopil] are staffed with over 300 software and hardware engineers that provide the quality services upon which customers have come to rely.

Delivering affordable solutions tailored to the specific needs of Finance, Insurance, Healthcare, Education, Entertainment, Power Engineering and Logistics is the reason Eleks has achieved and maintained its startling growth.

“Atlanta and Boston were both chosen for their tremendous opportunities for continuing the long-term success of Eleks. By delivering our services to the companies and industries based in the U.S., Eleks will strengthen its strategy of acting as a strong research and development partner for those businesses. Our efforts to attract and serve Corporate R&D and Independent Software Vendors are well served by our investment in both communities,” said Mr. Fuller.
