SaM Solutions, a leading international software outsourcing service provider, has become the Presenting Sponsor for the 2009 WIT Connect: Connecting for a Cause – Georgia’s Premier Technology Networking Event – that will take place on July 16, 2009 in Atlanta, US.

Women in Technology (WIT) is the leading association committed to the development of Georgia’s businesswomen in the technology industry. WIT Connect is a unique fundraiser that auctions the time of executives of top Georgia corporations and draws hundreds of the technology community’s leaders together to raise money to support WIT programs and philanthropy initiatives.

Martin Mauerseerg, president and CEO of SaM Solutions US, Inc., noted, “As a first-time sponsor of WIT Connect, we are delighted to lend our support to WIT’s leadership development programs. About 60 percent of our employees are women; we have always promoted women in technology not only here in the states but also overseas. We are excited to sponsor this event to increase the number of women who are interested in pursuing technology careers.”

“Women in Technology applauds each of our WIT Connect sponsors who came through to lend their support in a tough economic year. Only through their backing can we make the connections in Atlanta’s technology community that will strengthen the reach of our leadership development programs and WIT Foundation programs that help young women and girls embrace technology and science career tracks,” says Jamie Greene, president of Women in Technology.
