CRM Headline News

PLEASANTON, CALIFORNIA (August 10, 2004) – FrontRange Solutions (Company Profile, Past Stories, Case Studies), the leader in Service Management and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions for distributed and small to mid-size enterprise, is moving its headquarters from Colorado Springs, Colorado to Pleasanton, California. The move has been underway and will continue gradually as the $75-million software company expands its management, administrative and marketing resources to its existing development center near Northern California’s Silicon Valley high-tech corridor.
 
“Close proximity to Silicon Valley provides FrontRange with access to a tremendous amount of technology talent as well as the world’s most complete ecosystem of technology infrastructure. Having our headquarters in the Valley, in conjunction with our significant sales, support, marketing and general and administrative functions in Colorado Springs, positions us well for our future expansion plans,” said Michael McCloskey, FrontRange CEO. “We intend to continue adding resources at both of these “centers of excellence” as we grow into new markets.”
 
McCloskey cited proximity to financial and business development resources, and additional technical talent as clear business reasons for the change in location of corporate headquarters. Traditional business groups and executive management will remain distributed between the two locations with each nerve center continuing to add personnel.
 
“Northern California remains a hotbed for software engineering, investment capital and technology partnerships,” said McCloskey, a veteran technology executive who has guided several other software firms through initial public stock offerings, including Kana Communications and Genesys Telecommunications, and Network Appliance. “We had tremendous success over the last year when many of our competitors struggled. With an increase in bookings of over 25% from fiscal Q1 2004 to fiscal Q4 2004, we are moving into our new fiscal year with strong momentum and enthusiasm. As FrontRange continues to fortify its market leadership position, we can also take advantage of the resources of the world technology center in Silicon Valley,” McCloskey added.
 

Effective immediately, the address for the company’s headquarters is:
 
FrontRange Solutions
6701 Koll Center Parkway
Suite 250
Pleasanton, CA
94566
