ANVILLE, Calif.—January 26, 2004 - Trainer Communications, a leading provider of strategic communications and public relations services for emerging high-technology companies and start-up initiatives, announced today it has secured its first new customer of 2004: Aligo Inc., a global leader in mobile software solutions. Trainer also reported greater than 10 percent revenue growth in 2003, marking the company’s eighth consecutive year of record revenue. Acknowledging the firm’s momentum, the San Francisco Business Times put Trainer Communications on its fall 2003 list of the 100 fastest-growing private companies in the Bay Area.
Aligo joins Trainer’s distinguished client base, which continues to grow at a consistent pace with the addition of Actona Technologies, Inc.; Glimmerglass Networks; Onaro; Thor Technologies; and Wily Technology during the last two quarters of 2003.
“We view Trainer Communications as a strategic partner that will help Aligo extend its leadership position as we deliver mobile applications that empower executives, sales teams, and field force workers for Global 2000 companies with timely, reliable, secure data and the integrated transaction capabilities needed to take productivity to new heights,” said Joyce Kim, vice president of marketing for Aligo. “One of Aligo’s key value propositions is productivity, and Trainer mirrors that corporate trait perfectly. Trainer’s highly experienced team is not only extremely productive, but also among the most visionary in the industry. Trainer’s forte is in helping its clients rise above the noise and establish a credible, lasting reputation that facilitates long-term success.”
“We are delighted to add Aligo to our growing group of high-profile clients. With deep domain expertise in wireless and enterprise software, we are well positioned to differentiate Aligo and enhance its industry leadership cachet,” said Susan Trainer, president of Trainer Communications. “Riding the wave of another double-digit revenue gain last year coupled with recognition as one of the top privately held communications firms in the Bay Area leaves us very optimistic and enthusiastic about our position in 2004.”
