Clients Include MillerCoors, FedEx, Harley-Davidson, QuadGraphics and other Leaders; CEO Anticipates Continued Growth in Slow Economy
Milwaukee, 2009 – Centare Group, one of Southeast Wisconsin’s leading software development and consulting firms, celebrates 10 years in business this year and founder and CEO says the firm is poised for continued growth in 2009 and beyond.
“We are proud of what we have achieved since our beginning in 1999,” says Dave Glyzewski, Centare CEO and company founder. “We have helped some of the finest firms around think about their information systems strategies and improve their business processes. We are so grateful to those clients who have turned to us for help in developing software, integrating systems, business intelligence, implementing agile development practices and much more.”
Glyzewski, whose firm was recently named to the Inc. 5000 list of the area’s fastest growing companies, credits much of the firm’s success to Centare Chief Technology Officer Ed Chaltry and the dozens of others employees who have served innovative clients like Midwest Airlines, FedEx and MillerCoors. “Ed joined us shortly after our founding and has emerged in the time since as one of the most progressive voices in the local IT community,” explains Glyzewski. “And we are especially proud of our staff of technology consultants, who not only know how to develop leading edge software but who are also good listeners who work well with clients and work hard to understand their businesses.”
Centare was named in 2008 by Milwaukee Magazine as one of the region’s “Best Places to Work” and Glyzewski says that as the company looks to its second decade, Centare will continue its focus on employee professional development and comprehensive employee benefits.
“Our people are our product so we will continue to work hard to make Centare a great place to work and to grow,” he says. “We will also increasingly look for ways in which we can partner with our clients and other leading firms in the area to consider how Southeast Wisconsin can attract and retain great people, helping the region remain competitive in an increasingly challenging global economy.”
Centare Group is committed to helping keep Wisconsin’s economy stable through these uncertain economic times. Throughout 2009, Centare Group will continue to promote its messages of “hiring local” and encourage Southeastern Wisconsin’s regional businesses to mine the state’s rich talent pools for skilled professionals and service providers.
