From the CEO's Desk PDF Version »
I hope it's been an exciting 2012 for you so far, as it's been for us at Extentia!

As usual we've started the year with many promises (at least some that we hope to keep!), loads of new ideas, and plans for several cool initiatives.

The highlight of the year so far, has been our Annual Party in March. In addition to giving Extentians a chance to showcase what they are capable of outside the office, it also gives us a chance to meet our extended Extentia family - our partners, friends and customers.

You can see below that as always, there are many activities at Extentia keeping us busy. And with more visitors and partners, we're looking forward to a busy and productive year!

Please write to us with questions, comments, and criticism - we always look forward to hearing from you! Be sure to follow us on Twitter, Google+, YouTube and Facebook for frequent updates.
