Veteran data integration professional to join DataMentors’ new Chicago regional service office.

TAMPA, FL – June 16, 2009 – DataMentors, the industry leading full-service data quality and data integration solutions company, announced today that it has hired Roger Cortez, who will join the company in its new regional office in Chicago, Illinois. 

Roger joins DataMentors as a Senior Data Analyst.  Cortez’s IT experience encompasses nearly two decades of IT excellence.  As a vice president with Bank of America and LaSalle Bank, his expertise proved instrumental in the success of bank marketing initiatives spanning all channels and lines of business.  Similarly, Roger’s experience with clinical healthcare data solutions provides added depth to the already strong solutions offered by DataMentors for clients in the health-care and pharmaceutical spaces.

This new regional office is the by-product of DataMentors’ continued expansion and increased sales activity in the Midwest region of the country. The new office enables DataMentors to provide “on-the-ground” support to a number of long-term as well as new clients in Chicago and the surrounding areas. DataMentors, headquartered in the Tampa Bay area, with regional offices in Atlanta, Las Vegas, and now Chicago, has plans for additional office openings in 2010.

Annually, data volume is growing at near exponential rates. As such, this corporate data volume surge is placing tremendous data standardization and integration demands on IT departments, which is necessitating data integration providers become more fluid in, the services they provide and their response time to client needs.  “As the industry leader in the data standardization space, the opening of the Chicago office is the next logical step in our company’s continuing evolution.  And with Roger’s addition to the DataMentors team, our Chicago area clients can expect to receive nothing but the finest in IT support and services,” said Bob Orf, DataMentors’ President.  

Steve Meyer, Vice President of Technical Services and part of the DataMentors’ executive team, echoed Orf’s statement saying, “I’ve had the privilege of previously working with Roger. I know his abilities and understanding of Data Warehousing, Campaign Management, ETL and Data Integration are second-to-none. I’m confident he’ll prove, almost immediately, to be a highly valued asset within our organization.”
