AUSTIN, Texas — (BUSINESS WIRE) — March 8, 2016 — Xplore Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ: XPLR) announced today that its CEO and chairman, Philip Sassower, was named to the twenty most influential people in field service (2016 edition) #FSN20 by Field Services News. The list of twenty most influential people in field services was put together by a committee of industry experts and includes individuals who the committee believes will have a significant impact on the industry in 2016. The prestigious list includes analysts, vendors and service directors who are pushing the industry forward.

According to Field Service News, Xplore should have a big year as they seek to capitalize on the acquisition of Motion Computing and credit should go to Sassower and his executive management team led by president and COO, Mark Holleran for acting quickly to secure the greater prize. With Xplore’s area of expertise being in the ultra rugged space and Motion’s being more focused on healthcare and general field operations, bringing the two product lines together has given Xplore Technologies an impressive array of tablets that can satisfy almost all field service requirements.

“I am honored to be named as one of the twenty most influential people in field service and to be included along with other prestigious leaders in our industry,” said Sassower. “The acquisition of Motion Computing was a strategic team decision that has enabled Xplore to accelerate its growth plans by broadening the product line and expanding marketing efforts globally.”

Xplore’s CEO, COO and CFO will present the company at the upcoming 28th Annual ROTH Conference on Tuesday, March 15, 2016 at 12:00 p.m. PDT. Interested parties can view a Webcast of the presentation at http://wsw.com/webcast/roth30/xplr.
