ADVOCO, INC. EXPANDS OPERATIONS TO THE UK

San Francisco, California, January 16, 2006—Silicon Valley IT consultancy Advoco, Inc. announced today the opening of a new office in London, England. With this increased profile, Advoco now has pan European capabilities to serve clients with European offices as well as those looking to establish a European presence in the future.

Operations in the new office will be overseen by Advoco’s Country Manager in the UK, Ed Courage. Mr. Courage, a UK native, is a Chartered Engineer with a strong background in telecommunications who sees this expansion as a benefit to clients in any industry.
“Now is the perfect time for this expansion,” Mr. Courage said. “The global economy is a 21st century reality. With that, comes a greater need for technology that will allow both established and emerging companies to compete on a global scale. Not to mention legitimate concerns many businesses have over their network security. So the need for integrated IT solutions such as those Advoco offers is greater than ever.”

Advoco president, Ken Jillson, cites the company’s commitment to customers and the quality of their people as two major reasons Advoco is able to expand to a new continent.

“But it’s even more than that,” Jillson explains. “We have never been ones to present clients with technology for technology’s sake. We are unique in that our experience comes not only from the technology side but also from the business side. By putting technology behind a client’s business goals, we deliver true value.”

Advoco will employ their “IT consulting with an eye on business” approach for North American, UK and European clients beginning immediately.
