In late 1997, we completed a significant expansion of Fluent corporate headquarters in Lebanon, New Hampshire. The addition of the new wing nearly doubles our square footage from 22,000 to 42,000 and adds 55 new offices, ready to accommodate the new employees associated with our ongoing growth. Additional hires are helping to build our offices in Ann Arbor, Michigan; Santa Clara, California; Media, Pennsylvania; and Evanston, Illinois.

Additional training facilities, doubling our training capacity, are located in the new wing. Breakout rooms have been added to handle concurrent training topics. New NT workstations give users the choice of training in either an NT or a UNIX environment
