Pragmatic Works, a training, software and consulting company that focuses on data lifecycle optimization, is continuing their locally focused growth in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota.

With a technical team led by Jason Strate, Rowland Gosling and Steve Hughes, the Minnesota office will specialize in data platform, analytics and big data. These industry experts will continue developing the Pragmatic Works presence in the Midwest and expand Pragmatic Works’ relationship with local partners such as Microsoft, Tableau, CDW and Hortonworks. “The decision to expand with a local presence in Minnesota was an easy one. We have quite a few talented local team members and we are seeing a lot of engagement opportunities in the area,” says Adam Jorgensen, President of Pragmatic Works. “We are excited to increase our local presence and continue to be the go to provider for data warehousing and development needs.”
