Collegeville, PA (February 21, 2001) – T. Williams Consulting (TWC), a Collegeville-based management consulting firm specializing in strategic staffing, and ASPRE, Inc., a world-class e-Business Application Service Provider (ASP) headquartered in Horsham, PA, announced a strategic alignment that will provide e-Businesses with the resources that they need to gain a competitive advantage in the fast-paced world of high technology.

“We are pleased to form an alliance with ASPRE,” said Terry Williams, President and CEO of TWC. “We have very similar missions. Like TWC, ASPRE is also committed to helping young e-Businesses grow successfully.”

Indeed, both market leaders target the same e-Business space. ASPRE provides application development, hosting, integration, and support services to companies in the online B2B and B2C marketplaces. TWC, on the other hand, provides strategic staffing services to the same group of emerging technology firms. Its e-ComNET staffing practice is focused on the specific challenges of staffing internet-based companies.

According to the terms of the partnership, TWC and ASPRE will work together, when appropriate, to provide Best-of-Breed services to the East Coast’s hottest e-Businesses. The terms require a strong, long-term relationship between the two companies, including open communication and information sharing.

“We’re excited to partner with TWC,” said Alan Rihm, President and CEO of ASPRE. “Their innovative business model and strategies to acquire human capital make them a real contender among e-Business consulting firms.”

ASPRE and TWC will certainly benefit from TWC’s strong relationships with venture capitalists, incubators and accelerators. Today, these firms are offering their funded and incubated companies access to a full range of expert services including business development, strategic staffing, and application development. TWC has formed strategic alignments with a number of organizations, including Internet Capital Group, Lucent New Ventures, Philadelphia’s Port of Technology, and PenNetworks to provide strategic staffing expertise to their partner companies. Now, TWC can bring ASPRE to the executive table.

“ASPRE’s customer focus and dedication to e-Business solutions are second to none,” said Williams. “We are looking forward to working very closely with them as we kick off the new year.”
