PHASE 2 International Expands Its Presence by Opening a Pacific Northwest Office

PHASE 2 International expands its presence by opening a Pacific Northwest office in the Seattle area to serve the growing demand for software as a service (SaaS). Opened August 4, 2008, the Pacific Northwest office is led by business manager, Brion Potter.

As recipient of this year's e-Biz "Software of the Year" award, PHASE 2 experienced exceptional revenue and profit growth during the first half of 2008. The Spokane, Washington location is the second mainland office opened by PHASE 2 this summer, joining their Chicago, Illinois office. With advanced solutions such as online meeting software it is easier for vertical markets to convene, including architecture, manufacturing, hospitality and construction.

PHASE 2 is pleased to have Brion Potter join the company. Potter is the former president of Imperial Data Supply from 1977 through 1997. He grew the computer hardware and software sales company to an $8 million business with multiple locations. In 1997, Potter sold the company to MCSi, and then managed the Northwest branch of its successor company.

Kevin Doherty, PHASE 2 CEO, states, "Brion's breadth of experience is a huge asset to PHASE 2. He has the expertise to help clients find products that will fit their needs. The practical nature of software as a service makes it a great way for companies to have the best available software tools, without overwhelming their business with high upfront costs or infrastructure changes." Hosted web conferencing is one unique software service to provide cost-effective, streamlined business communications.

Potter, pleased to join PHASE 2, comments, "I've been a fan and user so now being a part of PHASE 2 is great. The consumer base and our SharePartner reseller program offers access to great untapped potential here and I look forward to helping PHASE 2 -- and its clients -- grow."

PHASE 2 customers enjoy central server-based, 'pay as you go' software applications. The PHASE 2 SharePartner program allows resellers to provide the 'pay as you go' platforms to customers who would not find it practical or affordable to outright purchase in-house hosting.
