For Immediate Release
Richmond, BC - Clevest Solutions Inc., a leading provider of software for mobile workforce automation including smart grid deployment and post-deployment operations exclusively for the utility industry, has announced the acquisition of Vancouver-based Axia Software Corporation. This transaction adds to the company’s suite of software-based solutions for the utility enterprise by providing asset investment planning, an emerging and complementary solution created using the same underlying technologies, to the companies’ shared target market.

Axia’s REVEAL asset investment planning (AIP) solution allows utilities to optimize long-term asset investment decisions by leveraging utility asset data, engineering objectives and corporate policy positions. AIP has been recognized by Gartner, Inc., a worldwide information technology research and advisory company, as an emerging category solution that is rapidly gaining industry recognition. In a recent report Gartner noted that utilities with an enterprise AIP solution could reduce their capital planning efforts by over 90%*.

“I’m excited for the future of Axia and our enterprise AIP solution as a complementary offering to Clevest’s well-established smart grid and operational software product lines. The acquisition strategically makes sense, given our common focus on the utility industry and the market demand for business intelligence to leverage utility data resulting from the global adoption of smart grid technologies. Axia’s AIP solution will add value to Clevest’s extensive customer base and is an obvious go-to-market accelerator,” stated Trevor St. Germain, President and Co-founder of Axia Software.

“We’re pleased to bring Trevor St. Germain and the Axia AIP team into Clevest. The caliber of these individuals and their deep domain knowledge will be a great asset as we continue to transform alongside the changing utility industry,” said Tom Ligocki, President and CEO of Clevest Solutions. “With this acquisition we and our partners will continue to offer more valuable solutions, which will result in an improvement to both our top- and bottom-lines.”

Team Axia to participate in this years Movember cancer awareness drive.

What is Movember?

Movember (the month formerly known as November) is a charity event held during November each year. At the start of Movember guys register with a clean shaven face. The Movember participants, known as Mo Bros, have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their moustache, raising money and awareness along the way.

The Obvious Question Is Why?

Men lack awareness about the very real health issue they face.  Many feel they have to be tough – “a real man” – and are reluctant to see a doctor about an illness or to go for regular medical check ups.

The aim of Movember is to change this attitude.  Make men’s health fun by putting the moustache back on the face of Canadian men and raising some serious funds for prostate cancer. Every year around 24,700 Canadian men are diagnosed with prostate cancer and about 4,300 die of the disease, making it the number one cancer threat to Canadian men. Movember is very proud to be partnering with the Prostate Cancer Research Foundation of Canada.

“I am extremely pleased that we acquired such a talented and experienced individual as Tim,” Graham Carter, President of Axia said regarding the announcement.  “Tim comes to us with an extensive senior sales and management background in the in the enterprise software industry and a reputation for sales excellence that is a perfect fit for our organization.  I strongly believe that having Tim on board will be key factor to ensure Axia achieves its corporate growth objectives.”

“It has been my great pleasure to join the Axia team this year.” said Tim Heintzman commenting on his role as Axia Software Corporation’s VP of Sales and Marketing.  “I firmly believe the Axia REVEAL product is the right product suite at the right time, and is uniquely poised to help utilities all over the world to weather the current financial storm by making more efficient use of their precious capital resources when planning for current and future infrastructure investments.”

Tim Heintzman comes to Axia with a successful track record, bringing over 20 years of experience as a senior executive with some of the world’s largest software organizations.  He has extensive experience working with companies in infrastructure intense industries, brings valuable knowledge in the area of global market development, and has successfully launched and operated two of his own companies.
