Data Center Services Provider Park Place International Changes Name to Park Place Technologies

CLEVELAND and BOSTON, Feb. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Park Place International announces that is has changed its name to Park Place Technologies (www.parkplacetechnologies.com ) effective February 22, 2010.

Ed Kenty, President and CEO of Park Place Technologies, says the new name more accurately represents the company's focus on delivering world class technology maintenance services to clients.

"The corporate data center has evolved to become the core of modern business and represents an area of strategic IT investment. We're committed to relieving our clients of daily maintenance and management issues so they can focus on more strategic business issues such as expanding storage needs, colocation, energy consumption and taking advantage of newer models such as Cloud Computing, virtualization and SaaS," Kenty adds. 

Park Place Technologies' company's double-digit growth over the past 10 years has been due to their ability to build long term relationships with clients, deliver service that exceeds customer expectations, as well as their ability to be proactive in a reactive technology market. As major manufacturers changed focus and direction, Park Place has helped clients extend the life of their existing IT investment long before the economy forced them to do so.

Kenty concludes "Our name change is a refinement of our business practices, and positions us to better execute on our vision, but not a fundamental change. Our clients can expect the high quality service and support upon which they have come to rely."

With the new name comes a new website and image for the company, founded in 1991 as a computer reseller. With changes in the marketplace, and at the request of their clients, Park Place expanded into services quickly, and excelled due to its firm commitment to Service First.

Park Place has grown its service and leadership teams significantly in the last several years, bringing a wealth of experience from such major manufacturers as Sun, Dell, HP, IBM, DG and DEC. This year, Park Place Technologies plans on opening offices in Los Angeles CA and Dallas TX in addition to its newly expanded Boston facility.

Park Place International, Park Place Technologies' sister company, will continue to provide full lifecycle support to Meditech clients. More information about Park Place International can be found at www.parkplaceintl.com .
