New Office in Burlington, MA to Service Hanscom A.F.B.
Annapolis Junction, MD — August 17, 2009

PROTEUS is pleased to announce it has opened a 3rd corporate office in Burlington, MA. The Annapolis Junction, MD software and systems engineering company has enjoyed steady growth in recent years, and expanding into the Boston market is an opportunity welcomed by PROTEUS. The 4,200 square foot office is located in Burlington, MA and will house the growing staff base in the region. The PROTEUS engineering group in Massachusetts will be providing solutions to both Maryland and Boston area clients in the areas of Net Centric Operations, as well as Computer Network Analysis, Defense, and Operations. The company expansion was recently featured in a press release by MacKenzie Commercial Real Estate Services, LLC:

Proteus Technologies, LLC, a leading software and systems engineering solutions provider headquartered in Annapolis Junction, Maryland, will open its third office nationwide in the Boston area in August.

One of Baltimore's largest software development companies, PROTEUS serves clients in the Intelligence Community, Federal Executive Departments, and Commercial Industries, and chose the new location to expand its market to the Hanscom Air Base area. Scott Wimbow, Senior Vice President and Principal for MacKenzie Commercial Real Estate Services, LLC, provided site selection and advisory for the firm.

"PROTEUS sought an executive environment, supported by sophisticated IT infrastructure that would allow them to ramp up operations immediately," said Wimbrow. "We applied GIS mapping tools, and sophisticated market data to develop a comprehensive comparative analysis of potential sites. Our analysis revealed a target list of site options that optimized market entry, interim, and long-term space needs and will continue to meet their objectives cost efficiently," he added.

The new 4,200 square foot office located at 35 Corporate Drive, in Burlington, Massachusetts, will employ members of PROTEUS' technical staff. The PROTEUS team in Boston will provide software and systems engineering solutions to both clients in the Burlington region, as well as continuing to provide support to one of PROTEUS' primary clients in the Annapolis Junction, MD area.

"We are pleased that the transaction went both quickly and smoothly with Mackenzie's support," said Chuck Taylor, Executive Vice President of PROTEUS. "The location is right for us as we embark on new partnerships with companies and clients in the region, and it not only meets our current needs, but also supports the company's growth."
