AUSTIN, TX – 10 Nov 2006: Cima Solutions Group, an IBM Premier Business Partner, has further expanded their presence in Texas by opening an office in Austin.  The office will house the account team that supports the State of Texas as well as the team responsible for all business activity in Central and South Texas.

Building upon the unprecedented success Cima has had in its first year by delivering bottom line results through optimizing IT infrastructure, Cima elected to open the office in Austin to further invest in its State and Local Government practice and commercial activities in Central and South Texas.  Located in the heart of the Capital area in Austin, the move provides direct access for the State of Texas accounts Cima serves.  In addition, the offices are conveniently located in the same building as IBM, Cima's most strategic partner.

"The opening of the Austin office is a further demonstration of Cima's commitment to expanding our presence in Texas," said John Alday, Cima's President. "With our recent award by the Texas Department of Information Resources and our success in delivering optimized IT solutions to companies throughout Austin, our new location will provide even greater access for our customers"
