Petris Ranks as One of the Ten Largest Software Companies in Houston
The Houston Business
Journal
conducted a "size" survey of software
development companies in Houston. Petris was
recognized as the 9th largest, with 85
employees.
We pride ourselves on being the "right size;"
big enough to tackle large, complex projects
yet small enough to be agile in our delivery
and approach. With another 40+ employees in
Europe, Petris handles global initiatives for
our customers.
The Houston Business Journal based the survey
on information provided by the companies
electing to participate, specifically the
number of local employees in Houston. It
represents a cross-section of software
companies targeted to several industries.

Nothing but Nets
Petris recently donated 100
mosquito nets to the Houston Dynamo's
"Nothing but Nets" campaign. For each
"Nothing but Nets" ticket purchased, the
Dynamo donated a mosquito net. The nets were
distributed to children in need to help
prevent the spread of Malaria.
