Planning Systems Inc. Expands Information Technology Services For Commercial Marketplace

Planning Systems, Incorporated, a provider of sophisticated high-technology engineering services to large organizations, has announced that it has established the headquarters for its newly formed commercial software operation at its existing offices in Portsmouth, NH.

The new operation will serve mid-to-large commercial enterprises with a wide range of software and information technology planning and implementation services - including business needs analysis, architectural and database design, project implementation, documentation, maintenance, training, support, and outsourcing.

"PSI has a long history of successful delivery of the routine to the most complex software projects" said Alan Friedman, President and CEO of the company. "Were expanding our business in the commercial market because we are convinced that our breadth and depth of knowledge and skills in both legacy and cutting edge software systems will continue to increase in demand in commercial enterprises as economic conditions continue to improve."

PSI has also announced that it has named PSI AVP Jim Dunn to lead the commercial market focus. Mr. Dunn will be based at the Portsmouth facilities.

"We have learned from experience that large commercial companies don't entrust their mission-critical software projects to just anyone. You have to develop that trust by consistently delivering projects on time, on budget, and at a fair price", explained Dunn. "We are a 100%US-based organization that has learned how to compete with both offshore competitors and the largest consulting firms by delivering that superior value. And, we will continue to do so on behalf of our commercial customers".
