New Port Richey, Florida, 24 August 2011 – Solstice Enterprise Software is pleased to announce our inaugural membership with a group of companies that was formed to expand and improve business development. The Consortium consists of nine highly regarded small businesses that have come together to offer their customer’s a deeper breadth of services and capabilities as well as to improve each member company’s access to new customers and offerings. We have created a best in class team, representing complimentary and diverse skill sets that allow us to serve multiple industries.
The Tandel Systems Consortium is comprised of Tandel Systems, Inc. and its affiliate companies (Topview Systems, LLC and Aerodyne Industries, LLC), Productive Engineering, Inc., DornerWorks, Ltd., Solstice Enterprise Software, Vista Control Systems, Integrity Design and Engineering, and TeamWorks Engineering, LLC (a Joint Venture of Tandel Systems, Inc. and DornerWorks Ltd.) This Consortium has been in the works for several months and formally began on April 18, 2011 in Oldsmar, Fl at the inaugural Business Development Success Summit.
The Consortium provides engineering solutions, products and services that support complex, mission-critical applications across many markets. Our 200+ employees are currently serving customers across the nation. We are customer focused, we pride ourselves in understanding our customer’s domain, and we offer highly cost-effective and responsive solutions.
All Consortium team members have realized business successes and accomplishments as a result of team relationships, some prior to the inaugural Business Development Success Summit. Solstice Enterprise Software has already reaped the rewards of this consortium by having access to additional expertise and resources for a Robotics project as well as several potential new opportunities on the horizon. Gavin Packard, CEO of Solstice Enterprise Software, said “This consortium has enabled us to take our mission automation capability to the defense market. The resources and networks of each member company are invaluable to growing our business and supporting expansion in the defense market.
