Mikele Brack from Atlas Industries to Lead London Office and European Business Development

Chicago, Illinois, April 24, 2008 – Satellier Inc, the global leader in workshare solutions and pioneer in Building Information Modeling services (BIM) for the architecture, engineering, construction and building owner (AECO) industry, announced that it has opened a London office to directly serve the UK market.

Mikele Brack has joined Satellier from Atlas Industries as Executive Vice President and will lead the company’s London office and European business development efforts. Mikele led business development at Atlas, a service provider to UK architectural firms, for four years. A graduate of the Sloan Masters programme at London Business School, Ms. Brack will report to Anthony Flynn, company CMO and Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

CEO Michael Jansen, comments, “We have been working with leading UK-based architecture and engineering practices for the last three years, and this was a natural move. UK firms are expanding globally at a brisk pace, and are very active in areas where we have large concentrations of work, including the UK itself, the Middle East, India, and Eastern Europe.”

Satellier brings global best-practice in workshare to UK practices, including advanced BIM workshare service, design management services (DMS) for UK practices active in India, and upcoming technology-driven collaboration environments. Jansen continues, ‘This is a unique market that requires a special approach. As a graduate of the Cambridge School of Architecture, I have been sensitive to the specific needs of this market since starting in the industry. We are simply thrilled to be here at this extraordinary time, and look forward to working with practices here to further their success in the UK and around the world.”

Ms. Brack adds, “Satellier’s worldwide integrated workshare model is exactly what UK practices have been looking for – whether they are globalising, adopting new software platforms or simply looking for an efficient workshare solution which allows them to focus on design. Our emphasis on technology solutions in particular simplifies the process for everyone. With so many leading design practices having chosen London as their global headquarters, the timing for such a solution could not be better. I am truly excited to be a part of the Satellier family and to contribute my expertise in this market to help achieve this vision for practices here.”

In the coming weeks, Satellier will host two executive workshops for UK-based architectural principals: “Participating and Partnering in the India Development Boom - An Insider View”, scheduled for May 13, 2008; and “Applying BIM for Maximum Business Gain”, scheduled for June 10, 2008.
