TEMIA Celebrates Ten Year Anniversary

    WEST LAKE VILLAGE, CA, November 16, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- TEMIA, the Technology Expense Management Industry Association, has come a long way since its founding ten years ago. Initially, a group of CEOs gathered to create an industry association that would set a positive tone for the market and spotlight the benefits its members provide to enterprise clients.

TEMIA's original mission focused on raising awareness, to improve the quality and value of solutions and to cultivate shared industry knowledge for Telecommunications Expense Management (TEM) and Wireless Expense Management (WEM) solutions. Since that time, TEMIA expanded its focus from telecommunications to the technology market and participants in adjacent markets. With this change, TEMIA changed its name from the Telecom Expense Management Industry Association, to the Technology Expense Management Industry Association. The acronym, TEMIA, has remained the same.

TEMIA members want a seat at the table to shape the industry. They also see value in networking with industry leaders and peers to develop business partnerships extending and strengthening their capabilities for clients' needs. They support the Ethics Code. Members also seek knowledge and innovative ways to increase their firms' profits.

Larry Foster, EVP for Calero Software said, "I am proud to have been there from the start. Being a member of TEMIA over the last ten years has been beneficial to both me personally and my company. TEMIA has allowed us to keep abreast and adapt to the continual changes in the industry and form relationships and partnerships that benefit our clients. I am very impressed how this organization has grown and become the default professional organization for solution providers."

John Perri, Founder and CEO of Comview said, "The collective work that TEMIA has done over the past decade has been invaluable to members, their clients and our industry. Having spent six of my ten years with TEMIA on the Executive Board, and working with others as an architect of the TEMIA Ethics Code, I am always impressed by the way members can put aside competition for the betterment of all. I know that I, my company and our clients have benefitted greatly from the knowledge and relationships forged through TEMIA, and we will for years to come."

Jim Carroll, SVP Operations, Global IT Asset Management for Tangoe said, "TEMIA has helped shape the TEM industry and keep all those involved informed with current and future market opportunities. I am very proud to have been one of the founding members and truly believe the organization has guided us as we have continued enhancing our products and solutions to meet the growing complexities of the industry. As our industry continues to evolve, I look forward to working alongside my fellow TEMIA members to continue driving value for our customers."
