Oniqua MRO Analytics Announces Growth, Expansion in North America

DENVER --(Business Wire)--

Oniqua MRO Analytics (www.oniqua.com), the leading provider of analytics-based MRO optimization solutions for asset-intensive organizations, today announced it has expanded its physical office space in North America to accommodate its growing marketing, sales and consulting teams, as the total number of employees has doubled in the last two years and is expected to more than double over the next 24-36 months.

The company recently increased its North America office square footage by 80 percent, which remains located in the Denver Technological Center (DTC) at 7900 E. Union Avenue, Suite 920, Denver, CO 80237.

The DTC is a business and economic trading center located in Colorado in the southeastern region of the Denver metropolitan area, within portions of the cities of Denver and Greenwood Village; and is a preferred Denver-based location for hundreds of major businesses and technology-based corporations, including SAP, Oracle (News - Alert), Newmont Mining Corporation and other Oniqua partners.

Growth in Oniqua North America is due in large part to an increased focus and penetration within the Utilities and Oil and Gas sectors, where new and existing customers include ConocoPhillips, BP, Nebraska Public Power District, Hawaiian Electric Company, Bermuda Electric Light Cmpany and others. Oniqua continues to support regional mining customers from the North American office as well.

"Due to quicker than expected growth resulting from customer expansion and new market penetration, we effectively ran out of viable workspace for our current employees, recent hires and projected new hires over the coming months and years," stated Lindsay Clarke, President of the Americas, Oniqua MRO Analytics. "The new and expanded office layout provides a more open floor plan with individual workstations and huddle rooms for conference calls, team meetings, and client visits. This allows us to better group like teams and disciplines to improve functional group dynamics and facilitate greater communication, while expanded conference room facilities allow us to conduct larger-sized training sessions for customers and partners."

The expansion in North America reflects a growth trend for the company in the Americas region overall, where it recently established operations in South America to serve a growing number of asset-intensive customers, including:

BHP Billiton - Minera Escondida (Chile), Pampa Norte (Chile), and Cerro Matoso (Colombia)
Codelco (Chile)
Vale (Brazil)
Newmont Mining Company - Minera Yanacocha (Peru)
Freeport McMoRan Copper and Gold - Candelaria/Ojos del Salado (Chile), El Abra (Chile), Cerro Verde (Peru)
