Combination expands global delivery model and development capabilities
ATLANTA, March 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Astadia, Inc., a global business
consulting and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions company, announces the
merger of Theikos, Inc., a leading global developer and implementer of

ability to deliver productivity solutions for Asian and global markets.
"This additional capability is good for our customers and partners,"
stated J. Ernest Riddle, CEO of Astadia. "We can now better serve our
customers around the corner or around the globe. Our companies complement
each other in experience, geography, and culture; we share the vision for the
future of SaaS and the services and solutions that will be needed to support
our clients as they make their SaaS transition. Astadia's future
acquisitions will continue to expand on this theme."
Astadia consults, implements and develops around solutions offered by a
growing number of partner firms, including salesforce.com, Cornerstone
OnDemand, Eloqua, Workday and Xactly. Astadia is a Premier Partner of
salesforce.com, and with the Theikos combination, becomes the clear global
leader in authorized salesforce.com deployable consulting resources.

business solutions to clients," said Jason Masciarelli, CEO of Theikos who

increased business efficiency and results for clients large and small with an
increasing array of productivity and vertical industry solutions."
