Vormittag Associates Inc. (VAI) has grown from a regional software development firm to its current position as a prominent industry leader with a growing global client base and expanding operations.
“When I launched VAI in 1978, I envisioned a software firm that was customer-focused, technology-driven and market adaptable,” said Bob Vormittag, president/CEO. “As we celebrate our 30th year in business, our expansion into industries and locations around the globe is greater than I had initially imagined. VAI continually strives to meet the needs of international businesses, large and small. VAI’s software, together with the IBM Power Systems platform, will lead us into the future with a technology solution that will continue the VAI tradition of providing flexible, scalable, easily implementable and affordable enterprise management software.”
Continued corporate expansion, new client implementations and research and development initiatives have been among the company’s major goals in the last year.
