Leading SCA Software Tools Vendor Appoints Simon Addis Regional Sales Manager, North America

Gatineau, QC, November 15, 2004 — Today Zeligsoft™, a leading vendor of tools which enable the design, deployment and configuration of component-based software, announced the opening of a new regional sales office in Washington, D.C.  This sales expansion is in response to increased market demand for the company's software engineering tools, and underlines Zeligsoft's commitment to locate offices close to customers in an effort to serve them better.

Zeligsoft CE™ (Waveform Builder™), an advanced software development tool for projects targeting the Software Communications Architecture (SCA), was released in June 2004. It has been rapidly adopted by the leading systems integrators and developers building products for the Department of Defence, who led the development of the SCA standard. 

"Zeligsoft has established itself as a company singularly focused on the needs of our customers," says Francis Bordeleau, president and CEO of Zeligsoft. "We are dedicated to solving the most difficult problems facing them. We are opening this new sales office to provide improved levels of service and to ensure that our customers have ready access to our solutions."

The Washington area is a natural location for the first North American sales office, given the company's initial focus on the DOD/Military and Aerospace vertical.  Simon Addis has a wealth of experience in providing technical solutions to the development organizations within companies such as Boeing, Rockwell Collins, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and other leading defence contractors.

"I am very excited to be joining Zeligsoft at this time," says Mr. Addis, "I have been focused in the software development tools industry for my entire career, and it is clear to me that Zeligsoft is addressing a real need within the SCA development community.  I look forward to helping our customers get their products to market faster, with the highest possible levels of quality."  Prior to joining Zeligsoft, Addis held various sales management positions at klocwork, OSE Systems, ObjecTime/Rational and GEC Marconi.
