TEMPE, Ariz., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Local web services and software company
redPear is proud to announce the acquisition of OpenRain, a Mesa-based web
services and software firm known for their Ruby on Rails and Android
development. As part of the acquisition, former OpenRain CTO Marc Chung will
be joining the redPear team in his new role as the company's Chief Technology
Officer, bringing his ingenuity and years of experience building world class
solutions.
Brandon Willey, CEO of redPear, expressed his excitement about this
partnership earlier today: "We consider this a great opportunity to merge the
resources of redPear and OpenRain to develop a truly unique experience in the
world of website design and custom software. Phoenix has continued to prove
itself as an exciting ground for start-ups and new ideas. We believe this
acquisition to play a vital role in what Phoenix has to offer moving forward,
merging experience and knowledge in a dynamic fashion."
Regarding the acquisition and the opportunities ahead, Chung stated, "I have
always enjoyed being on a team of crazy-smart, energetic, like-minded
individuals. This is the perfect place for that. I've always been a fan of
redPear and I'm excited by the opportunity to support and grow their vision."
As part of the acquisition, redPear will continue servicing all existing
clients of OpenRain and honoring all previous agreements. All previous support
of OpenRain's projects and contracts, including training, will also continue.
"Clients will see a seamless transition in quality, services and end product.
We are not seeking to revamp what has been done, but to expand the experience
for all involved," according to Willey.
