September 22, 2008 – RWD Technologies opened an office at Edificio Corecol in Bogota, Colombia. Division Director Al Khakoo heads the new staff of ten professionals and intends to hire at least five more within the next year to service all of Central and South America. Khakoo stated Business Development Manager Joaquin Herrera and his consulting team will provide oil and gas, refining, and chemical companies with service-based consulting and solutions that accelerate client workforce competency, minimize client inefficiencies and waste, and overcome cultural barriers --- all while maximizing client resources, regulatory compliance, performance and profitability.
“As companies turn to Colombia because of increasing oil prices, a more relaxed investment climate and the large number of undiscovered or unexploited oil wells, only RWD Technologies de Colombia and its Bogota-based partner, Intechsol, have the local knowledge and connections plus RWD’s industry experience and expertise to help Central and South American companies succeed,” said RWD Executive Vice President, Jim Parish. “Through a comprehensive portfolio of integrated solutions and methodologies, RWD will enable and empower clients to overcome internal and external challenges.”According to Parish, RWD solutions engage and empower all levels of an organization, which contrasts with competitors’ executive mandates or quick fixes that ultimately fail or disappoint.
