SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 7, 2000
Viant Corporation (Nasdaq: VIAN), a leading builder of digital businesses, today announced the opening of its Silicon Valley office, which expands its Bay area presence and compliments its successful office in San Francisco.
"The opening of our second office in the Bay area underscores our commitment to our culture, innovation and client execution," said Ben Levitan, COO of Viant. "For over four years we have operated under the belief that the best and most innovative ideas are created and nurtured in smaller, more entrepreneurial environments. It is this belief that led us to open another office in San Francisco ensuring that Vianteers have the right sense of community."
Together with Viant's San Francisco office, the new location in Mountain View will enable Viant to meet the growing demand for leading-edge Internet consulting, implementation and incubation services among Global 2000 companies and high-tech start-ups in the Silicon Valley area. The new Viant office will be "spawned" and led by Xavier Zang, currently the General Manager of the neighboring San Francisco office, and Steve Koenig who will serve as Operations Manager.
Viant's culture-focused 'spawning' model ensures the successful establishment of its fully integrated service capabilities and dynamic employee culture in every office. As new offices are established or expanded, 'Viant-experienced' employees are relocated to complement newly hired local employees. This model, founded on Viant's commitment to the highest quality client service, allows it to maintain consistent firm-wide quality and culture, as well as an ongoing entrepreneurial environment.
"We are excited to move into Silicon Valley. This high-tech hub breeds entrepreneurial energy and creativity," said Zang. "Clearly, our expanded presence in the vicinity reaffirms our leadership position, strengthens our business partnerships, and diversifies our opportunities."
To help Global 2000 companies and Internet start-ups capitalize on the Internet, Viant's Silicon Valley office will feature the company's first user-centered research lab to facilitate the involvement of users in the conceptualization and design of digital business applications.
"The lab will help us to move beyond the scope of traditional usability testing at Viant," said Richard Anderson who is leading Viant's development of user-centered research and design activities. "Lab-based activities combined with ethnographic research will provide critical guidance to the new office's provision of strategic consulting, creative design and technology services."
The dynamic space in Clyde Court illustrates Viant's dedication to creating a stimulating, progressive environment for its employees. The large open space was selected to foster knowledge sharing between teams and offices.
The address of the Silicon Valley office is 640 Clyde Court, Suite A, Mountain View, CA, 94043.
