Chicagoland Company Utopia, Inc. to Create 500 New Jobs in the US in 2012

Hired 200 new US employees in 2011

MUNDELEIN, Ill. (February 6, 2012) –As further reinforcement of today's strong jobs report, Mundelein, IL based Utopia, Inc., a global leader in Enterprise Data Lifecycle Management™ (EDLM™) solutions and SAP® partner, announced plans to add 500 more jobs in the US in 2012.

"We're doing our part to contribute to job creation in the US," said Arvind J. Singh, president and CEO of Utopia. "The demand for advanced data management skills is exploding as we enter the era of 'Big Data.' We are hiring aggressively and training data professionals in our unique EDLM methodology."

"We are especially pleased that President Obama called out the need for training of data management skills in his State of the Union address," said Mr. Singh. "We recognized this need three years ago and created Utopia University to teach advanced data strategy and consulting skills that our most demanding customers require."

"With a world-class workforce that is second to none, easy access to shipping, and our continued investments in roads and bridges, Illinois is a great place to do business," said Governor Pat Quinn. "Companies like Utopia realize that Illinois has the tools a business needs to succeed and grow, and those companies are helping us continue to create good jobs and boost our economy for years to come."

Utopia is celebrating its 10th year in business starting in March. Last year, the company launched Utopia University in its newly expanded training center in Mundelein, IL and will have hired and trained 150 new employees in Illinois alone by the end of 2012.
