Orlando, Fla., Feb. 16, 2006 — Alinean, Inc., an
leading software firm that develops products to provide Business
Value Selling solutions to major technology vendors, has relocated
its headquarters from the Central Florida Research Park to a
larger suite of offices in downtown Orlando at 201 S. Orange
Ave.
Tom Pisello, CEO of Alinean, said the move was a function of
Alinean’s growth. Currently, Alinean serves nine
of the world’s 10 largest information technology vendors.
Alinena is a graduate of the UCF Technology Incubator. “With
the initial support from the UCF Technology Incubator four years
ago, we are now well poised for future growth based on the refinement
and validation of our business model.” said Pisello.
Frank Billingsley, Director of the City of Orlando’s Downtown
Development Board, stated, “We are delighted that Alinean
is growing and prospering in Downtown Orlando.”
Pisello noted several important advantages the new downtown
location offers the firm: a larger and more diverse employment
center from which to draw leading edge software engineers, local
synergies with partners such as banks and professional advisors
and ready access to shopping and restaurants.
