Trajecta Merges With Pavilion To Seize Leadership Of Decision Optimization Market

Trajecta, Inc. announced that it has merged with Pavilion Technologies, Inc., an international provider of Production Chain Optimization solutions for manufacturing operations. Using Pavilion's proprietary technology since its 1995 inception, Trajecta has become a provider of optimization solutions to financial services and pharmaceutical industries. Under the terms of the merger, Trajecta becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of Pavilion.

The merger reunites the advanced neural network technology that provided the foundation for a strategic alliance between the companies in 1995. Together, the two companies have developed numerous patented adaptive learning technologies with a concentration on optimization applications. Combined, the companies will total 140 employees.

Pete Perialas will lead the merged entity. Perialas, appointed Pavilion's CEO and President in May of this year, has served as a senior executive for several large corporations including Computer Science Corporation, American Express and Discover.

"Both Pavilion and Trajecta customers are already achieving significant returns on their technology investments," Perialas said. "Our complementary advances combined with our industry-focused resources will enable us to leverage our knowledge to further penetrate existing and new markets. A key focus will be to expand Pavilion's online, real-time advances and e-commerce initiatives to strategically advance the commercial optimization businesses." Perialas added that the companies jointly plan to deliver their technology under a single object-oriented architecture with more robust automated decisioning engines and optimization capabilities. "This will provide a broader application of the technology facilitating expansion into new and upcoming growth markets," he explained.

Founding Trajecta Board member and former Dell Computer Corporation President Lee Walker will join the Pavilion Board of Directors, which will be chaired by Perialas. "This merger makes strategic business sense for both companies," Walker said. "By combining Pavilion and Trajecta, the companies gain critical mass to capitalize on significant market opportunities. Under the direction of Pete Perialas, this company is positioned for tremendous growth."
