Vancouver, BC, Canada, April 30, 2004 -- Ekkon Technologies, the developers of MerchantSpace Commerce, today announced a corporate office expansion to accommodate the exceptional growth experienced over the past year.

At a time where most technology companies have struggled to prevent downsizing, Ekkon has grown its employee base by 100% and has realized 300% revenue growth.

“With emerging mid-market software spending and recent major customer wins, the need to make more room for our growing development team is paramount,” explained Mark Williams, Executive VP, Ekkon Technologies.“ The new office space we have recently acquired will allow us to, once again, more than double our employee base.”

Ekkon is directing a large portion of its development team to R&D over the coming months in preparation for the release of its next-generation of mid-market Java e-commerce software – MerchantSpace Commerce 3.0.
