Hyperwave Opens New Office in Washington D.C. to Build on Escalating Demand for Collaborative Knowledge Sharing

September 30, 2003

Fueled by the company’s continued growth in the Federal market and the urgent need for technology to facilitate the capture and dissemination of intelligence and organizational knowledge, Hyperwave today announced the opening of a new office in Washington D.C. Hyperwave is a leading supplier of Collaborative Knowledge Management and eLearning solutions enabling departments and agencies to securely gather, manage, share, and reuse unstructured information, knowledge and experience.

"Technology solutions to promote information sharing, collaboration, and knowledge management within and between agencies is of critical importance to the United States Government in order to best utilize their existing knowledge across many geographical & organizational boundaries," said Peter Watson, vice-president of North American Sales. "We’re expanding our team within the DC area in order to meet this increased demand for collaborative knowledge sharing from federal and civilian agencies."

"Drivers such as Homeland Security, the Government Paper Elimination Act (GPEA), and the impending retirement of a maturing workforce, have accelerated the need for government agencies to pursue solutions that promote increased information and intelligence collection, sharing, and collaboration," added Watson.

Hyperwave’s D.C. office will be led by Walter Burks. Burks brings over 15 years of experience in enterprise software sales with a focus on business intelligence and data warehousing applications. Prior to joining Hyperwave, Burks held positions with Verity, Ascential Software, Business Objects, and EDS.

Hyperwave’s Washington D.C. office is located at 1725 I Street NW, Washington DC, 20006 and can be reached at 301-262-8486.
