[July 09, 2008] Xsilva Systems, Successful Mac POS Software Startup, Opens Montreal HQ Tweet MONTREAL --(Business Wire)-- Xsilva Systems, makers of LightSpeed, the next-generation point-of-sale system for Mac, are opening the doors to their new St-Hubert Headquarters, the latest addition to the dynamic, up and coming Latin Quarter neighborhood of downtown Montreal. Having experienced meteoric growth since launching in the summer of 2005, the Montreal-based software company will open its new headquarters, a beautiful three storey commercial building off the corner of St-Hubert and Maisonneuve, on Friday, July 18th. The new offices, more than three times larger than Xsilva's previous home, were acquired to better serve a robustly expanding base of thousands of international customers and accommodate its rapidly growing team, already 20 strong. "We are absolutely thrilled to be able to move into this stunning new space, and it means a lot to be able to do it in Montreal," said Dax Dasilva, CEO. "It really represents the hard work of our entire team, and we expect that the coming years will be exciting ones both for Xsilva and for Montreal's tech community at large." The opening of Xsilva's sleek, modern new workspace in close proximity to Quebec's three year old Grande Bibliotheque, along with the ongoing development of the nearby Ilot-Voyageur complex, represents the larger revitalization of the Latin Quarter/Berri-UQAM area. As the only independent tech business of its kind in the neighborhood, Xsilva hopes to give back to the community that nurtured its success and encourage other young entrepreneurs to set up shop in the area. A Grand Opening Ceremony will be held on the evening of July 18th, beginning with a press conference and ribbon cutting ceremony and followed by a guided tour and cocktail social.
