Doextra Corp., a Des Moines-based software consulting firm, has entered into a joint venture with Light Industries, a technology firm based in Baltimore, to form Doextra CRM Solutions.

The joint venture plans to expand its Salesforce customer relationship management (CRM) consultation from a regional to a national presence, predominantly covering the Midwest and Eastern Seaboard regions.

Doextra CRM Solutions will continue to offer services and support to Sage SalesLogix and Microsoft Dynamics CRM users. Doextra CRM Solutions’ main offices will be located in Des Moines and Millersville, Md., with remote offices in New York City and the Chicagoland-area.

“This joint venture brings together a remarkable team of technical experts who specialize in the Salesforce platform,” Doextra President Brad Williams said in a release. “Deployment and delivery of larger-scale projects can now be executed with more speed and agility.”
