"Mike Peery and I are delighted that we can place the company that we have grown and nurtured for 35 years into the strong hands of Vela. Their expertise in growing software companies gives Tecplot a solid foundation upon which it can build into the future."
"Karen and I are delighted that we can place the company that we have grown and nurtured for 34 years into the strong hands of Vela. We look forward to seeing the continued growth and success of Compusense under the Vela umbrella."
"We always wanted to see the software applications that a Vietnamese company like ourselves built reach further, and conquer multinational corporations who are still hesitant in choosing a Vietnamese solution provider. That is why we have chosen to join CSI who is best positioned to help us on that journey."
