"We are very excited to see our customer base grow so rapidly outside the United States," said Jim Cassens, Managing Director of Help/Systems International. "This will allow us to continue adding staff to support the needs of our customers and strategic partners across Europe."

Acknowledging the company's record growth in 2012—which included record product licenses and three acquisitions—Cassens said the new headquarters "will provide the scalability to expand as well."

Added Cassens, "Today, we provide support and services to the largest data centers in the finance, retail, and managed services industries. As Help/Systems expands our portfolio of solutions, we look forward to continuing that record of services, support, and enhancement."

The company's 2012 acquisitions included two UK-based companies – CCSS Ltd and Safestone Technologies. The companies, which specialise in information security and systems management, expand Help/Systems product offerings in compliance and system performance monitoring for data centers with IBM Power Systems.

"These investments in new solutions and resources are necessary in order to support our continued growth outside the US, both organically and via acquisition," said Help/Systems CEO Janet Dryer. "Our expanding portfolio of IT management solutions across the IBM i, UNIX, Linux, and Windows platforms puts us in a strong position to increase our customer base of midsize and large businesses worldwide as we continue to do in the United States."
