A Message from the CEO, Thomas Antunez


"A new era in American history has begun, sparked by the turmoil in the financial markets, followed by the truly historic election of Barack Obama as President of the United States. To say the least, the past three months have been extremely exciting, and simultaneously terrifying, for American consumers and businesses alike. As I visit with clients and prospects, I am inspired by their sense of resiliency, determination, and hope, universally shunning the temptation to throw their hands up in the air and give up. Our way of life is conducive to good, prosperous business activities and I have no doubt that we will once again see consistent, long-term growth in GDP and an increase in the standard of living for all Americans.

On a related note, Percentix continues to grow, even during this time of macroeconomic difficulties. With great pride, I am proud to announce that we have hired an additional consultant within the Business Technology Practice. Ed Abad officially joined Percentix on January 16th and he is a welcomed addition to the team. Percentix will continue to make investments in growth.

Finally, I take and advocate an "evolutionary" approach to the current business environment. Evolution is simple to understand, both in nature and in business: differentiate, select, amplify. That's it. I apply these principles to the firm and we are currently embarking on a far-reaching differentiation strategy that includes, but is not limited to, the formation of our Business Intelligence practice, headed by Rita Longcore. Subsequent issues of Performance Matters will keep you up to date on this new line of business at Percentix.

Best,

Thomas
