PRO V HONORED AS “HIGH GROWTH COMPANY OF THE YEAR” BY IT FLORIDA

Tampa, December 16, 2005. Representatives from ProV International assisted the IT Florida Awards Gala/Tech Forum, and they were met with a pleasant surprise - an award to take home as a trophy. More than 300 state technology leaders from Florida were considered for the IT Florida’s Annual Awards, and in the evening of the Awards Gala ProV International was pronounced winner of the High Growth Company of the Year category. The two-day event took place at the Disney’s Contemporary Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida where technologically savvy entrepreneurs and dignitaries alike mingled as they enjoyed delectable food and cocktails.

With its headquarters in Tampa, Florida, ProV has grown at a tremendous rate from its conception. Started as a small Information Technology services firm in March 2003, ProV has developed into a systems integration, and application development company that employs a global workforce of senior consultants to help customers across several industries run their companies in a more timely and cost effective manner. ProV provides innovative solutions in areas such as software development, systems integration, technology, and networking competence. The firm has expanded its business to include a training and development center for its consultants in Tampa, as well as a development center in Mumbai, India. With offices across the U.S. and in the UK, ProV International has helped and continues to help customers like GAP, Williams-Sonoma, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida, AT&T, Merrill Lynch, Kaiser Permanente, Align Technologies, TIAA-CREF, MCI, Recall, Sun Chemical, among others, to have a high profitability and effective support systems.

Ajit Nair, CEO and President of ProV International, is proud of this achievement. Nair started in the IT industry several years back in Silicon Valley, with his first company ACES International. He successfully developed ACES into a global systems integration firm which he later sold to a technology giant. Shortly thereafter, Nair relocated to Tampa, Florida and founded ProV International. Nair had a vision of success. He noticed that the Tampa community was still young when it came to Information Technology. So he decided to jump start the IT industry locally and did so by establishing a firm that provides IT support and excellent customer service to companies locally, nationally and abroad, which in turn is expanding and popularizing the IT market in Tampa and around the state. In just a couple of years ProV International boasts of revenues that would astound even the most astute entrepreneurs. With Nair’s interminable energy, focus on success, and customer centric attitude ProV International is definitely opening paths and making a mark in the development of the IT industry in Tampa and the state of Florida.
