BOSTON, May 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The international investigative and risk consulting firm, i-fact@nalysis, announced today the opening of the company's office in San Francisco, California. This is the latest step in i-fact@nalysis, Inc.'s continuing expansion due to the increased demand for the company's global due diligence, investigative, compliance, forensic and consulting services.

The opening of the San Francisco office demonstrates i-fact@nalysis' commitment to the California market and expands the company's services to Northern California said Dennis Moschella, Managing Director of the company's Los Angeles office.

Scott Jenkins, Managing Director, will manage the San Francisco office. Prior to joining i-fact@nalysis, Mr. Jenkins held senior management positions at Pinkerton in California and Wackenhut in Prague, and was the European Security Manager for Apple Computer in Paris, Country Security Manager for Digital Equipment Corporation in Geneva, and Manager of Personal Protection at the Trade Development Bank in Geneva. Jenkins brings over 30 years of domestic and international experience in corporate safety and security, system design, anti-terrorism, cross boarder investigations, protective services and emergency preparedness planning for international corporations, healthcare organizations, educational institutions and governments.

"The state of California has invested significant efforts to develop business relations in emerging markets, especially China. Although these new markets bring tremendous opportunities, they also involve considerable risks," said Scott Jenkins. "To mitigate these risks, companies need to rely on a professional risk management firm that possesses a keen understanding of international issues as well as having the global reach to provide investigative and security services -- this is what i-fact@nalysis accomplishes each and every day, around the world."

i-fact@nalysis, Inc. is one of the few international providers legally registered and insured to operate in China; many competitors work in China without being either properly registered and/or insured, placing their clients at risk. Philip Curlewis, i-fact@nalysis, Inc.'s Managing Director for Asia Pacific, leads a team of professionals in China with over 60 years of collective experience, strong local knowledge and contacts.

"San Francisco is a global business hub and a gateway to Asia," explained Kent Anderson, Managing Director of i-fact@nalysis' Seattle office. "Along with our Los Angeles, Seattle and other international offices in Europe, Asia, Mexico and the Middle East, the San Francisco office enhances i-fact@nalysis, Inc.'s ability to deliver international risk management solutions to our clients."

i-fact@nalysis is a global professional services firm providing investigative, compliance, due diligence and other specialized consulting and forensic services to Fortune 500 Companies. The company is headquartered in Boston with offices in Houston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington, D.C., Berlin, Hong Kong, Mexico City, Moscow, Riyadh and Shanghai.
