PITTSBURGH, PA, June 7, 2006
Pittsburgh’s Mayor O’Connor to
Attend Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for Matrix Solutions
Leading Media Sales Strategy Software Company
Moves to Pittsburgh’s North Shore as Part
of Headquarters Expansion
Pittsburgh, PA, June 7, 2006 – Matrix
Solutions, the leading provider of sales strategy
management software for the media industry,
announced the grand opening of its new headquarters
in Pittsburgh’s North Shore community.
Mayor Bob O’Connor will participate in
the ribbon cutting ceremony at 901 Pennsylvania
Avenue on Thursday, June 15, 2006.
The event celebrates the relocation of Matrix
Solutions from Ross Township. Speakers include
Mayor O’Connor and Matrix Solution’s
President, D.J. Cavanaugh.
The new media software facility currently houses
30 Matrix Solutions business and technology
professionals and has the capacity for 25 additional
staff. Designed by a team of Matrix Solutions
employees, the new facility has a contemporary
design with distinctive areas for collaboration
that encourage employees to engage in informal
discussions. The warehouse-style building, containing
more than 15,000 square feet of space, was originally
an industrial age valve manufacturing company.
Matrix Solutions believes its business growth
will be energized by relocating to Pittsburgh,
a city Kiplingers Personal Finance magazine
calls “a smart place to live”. The
company’s expansion has enabled it, along
with a growing number of other companies, to
become part of the North Shore development effort.
“Matrix Solutions is a great example
of the people and businesses coming back home
to Pittsburgh. Our affordability, accessibility,
vibrancy and quality of life make Pittsburgh
one the most desirable locations to live and
work in the U.S.,” commented Mayor Bob
O’Connor.
“Matrix Solutions was able to expand
its overall size and still take advantage of
significant cost savings by moving to the North
Shore. Our new location will provide a strong
foundation for growth, catapulted by exciting
new leadership at the city and county levels,”
says D. J. Cavanaugh, president of Matrix Solutions.
“We are proud to be a part of the North
Side community and contribute to the city of
Pittsburgh’s revitalization efforts.”
