Leading archiving provider signals expansion with appointment of sales and business development directors EGHAM, England, April 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mobius Management Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:MOBI), a leading provider of integrated solutions for enterprise archiving and records management, today announced two senior appointments designed to strengthen and support the company's growing presence in Europe. Anthony Alder has been appointed to the new position of director of business development and channel sales for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Patrick Hansen joins as director of sales for Northern Europe. Their charter is to drive Mobius's growth across Europe, both in direct sales and via the development of strategic partnerships with targeted, value-added integrators and resellers. Mobius develops and markets an integrated suite of solutions that enable organizations to cost effectively store, use and dispose of all the electronically stored information in the enterprise. The company's flagship products, ViewDirect(R), the industry-leading archiving and records management engine, and Total Content Integrator (TCI), the premier solution for connecting all sources of information with all users and applications, deliver a high return on investment to both users and partners and fit effortlessly into the reseller toolkit. Mobius's customer base in Europe includes such leading corporations as Lloyds TSB, Linde, BNP Paribas, Nordea, Banca Nationale del Lavoro, Zurcher Kantonalbank, ING, ABN AMRO, Commerzbank and Brose, among other leading financial services, manufacturing and retail organizations. "We are committed to devoting resources to further expand our presence in the European market, where enterprise archiving and records management are increasingly recognized as mission-critical business requirements," said Karry Kleeman, vice president of sales for EMEA. "As organizations have borne the costs and inefficiencies of maintaining several isolated systems, the need to integrate all digital information has become painfully evident. And, facing increasingly demanding requirements for regulatory and legal compliance, these companies are seeking solutions that provide fast, flexible, secure access while ensuring the long-term integrity and availability of all electronically stored information." "Patrick and Tony bring a wealth of sales, management and channel development expertise in the software industry," Kleeman continued. "Their extensive operational knowledge and deep understanding of enterprise software is a strategic asset to our European management team." Commenting on his appointment, Alder said: "I am excited to undertake the challenge of this new role within Mobius. Our successes with direct sales and conversations with our customers have shown us that now is the time to augment our direct efforts with a comprehensive channel program. With recent consolidations in the enterprise content management market, current channel relationships are in a state of flux, creating an opportunity for highly integrated and well-architected end-to-end solutions. Mobius's work with channel partners will enable customers to take the risk and pain out of compliance and records management. We will select key, strategic partners across the region that complement our offerings and enable us to deliver to customers the solutions they need." Before assuming his new role, Alder was with Mobius for seven years on the direct sales team. Prior to joining Mobius, he had ten years of direct and channel sales experience at Canon. Hansen has had over 15 years of experience in the enterprise software market. He joins Mobius from COSA where he held the position of chief commercial officer. Prior to COSA, Hansen was with FileNet for four years, where he served as vice president of the channel in EMEA. He also previously held positions at Accelio Corp. and BancTec BV. "Mobius pioneered software for high-volume information archiving and retrieval and has been a dominating presence in the market ever since," said Hansen, "and that doesn't happen by accident. It takes a strong team from top to bottom, working with great technology and with a clear understanding of customer requirements. I'm excited to be joining the leadership team of a company with a great track record at a time that promises the opportunity to shape an even greater future."
