ATLANTA, Georgia, July 10, 1997 – Tactics, the leading Oracle systems integrator in the southeast, with headquarters in Atlanta, GA, has opened a new regional office for Florida, based in Tampa. This is the fourth regional office Tactics has opened, complementing the three existing regional offices in Atlanta, Memphis and Charlotte. In addition to a technical office in Tampa, we have opened three other technical offices throughout the southeast this year, as well as individual staff distributed across strategically located southeastern cities to provide localized Oracle consulting services.

Oracle and leading hardware vendors have encouraged Tactics to expand into the Florida region to provide the level of quality services that customers in other areas receive from Tactics. We offer a full solution, with value added to the product, based on both our comprehensive services and our goal to always present the correct solution for the customer.

Tactics' office in Tampa will serve as a focal point for Tactics business throughout the state of Florida for Oracle technical consulting services and product sales. Florida customers will have immediate access to the high quality Oracle services typifying Tactics across the southeast. For those customers considering a new move to Oracle products, or an upgrade to existing Oracle products, we will provide full sales and support services. Advanced database administration, database tuning, custom application development, internet services, full-suite Oracle Financials and data warehouse systems have already been provided for an established customer base in Florida.

To complement full solution Oracle-based deployments, Tactics is equipped to recommend the server technology of choice with delivery of Sun, HP, Digital or IBM products, along with the associated services necessary to deploy these servers.
