NEW YORK CITY, NY and MANCHESTER, NH -- 08/22/08 --
Control Group, an
information technology consulting, outsourcing and managed services
company, and
Newforma, Inc., a
software company addressing the project information management (PIM) needs
of the design and building industry, today announced that Control Group has
joined the Newforma Authorized Partner program as a value-added reseller
for the sales and marketing of
Newforma Project Center software. Control Group
will provide the full range of professional services, including deployment,
configuration and training, to small and mid-size architecture and
engineering firms in Greater New York City.
Newforma Chief Executive Officer Ian Howell said, "Newforma could not ask
for a better-qualified partner to service the needs of architectural and
engineering firms in this market. Control Group's vertical domain
understanding and consulting services experience reduce costs and raise
efficiency for clients. By working together, Control Group and Newforma
will make firms more profitable and better prepared to meet the challenges
of integrated practice delivery."
Newforma Director of Business Development Robert Kahr said Control Group
fits the profile of the ideal Newforma partner. "Control Group's model is
unique," Kahr said. "It's a managed services provider focusing on
architects and engineers, in one of the nation's most concentrated markets
for architects and engineers. As a result of their expertise, Control Group
understands the specialized needs of this industry, and is therefore in a
particularly good position to be a Newforma Authorized VAR Partner."
On Control Group's part, Partner Campbell Hyers views the Newforma
partnership as an extension of its existing client service strategy.
"Joining forces with Newforma fits with our model of partnering with the
leading technology companies serving architects, engineers and
constructors, such as Autodesk, Deltek and Microsoft," said Hyers. "Our AEC
clients look to us to be their single source for technology solutions. With
the addition of Newforma Project Center software to our offerings, we are
the first managed services company in New York to provide the industry's
most complete, innovative solution for PIM."
