MONTRÉAL (ots)
Vircom Inc., a leading developer of Secure Messaging Infrastructure solutions, announces that it will open a European office in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium. With this announcement, Vircom appoints Paul Vanbosterhaut as the Managing Director of Vircom Europe SA.
In his new position, Mr. Vanbosterhaut and his team will be responsible for expanding Vircom's presence in the European market. Since its inception, Vircom Inc., has been recognized in Europe, accounting several hundreds of customers. Mr. Vanbosterhaut will further these relationships by building a team responsible for developing new sales partnerships and assisting the partners in selling, deploying, and supporting Vircom's products in Europe.
"With more than 7 years' history in the Secure Messaging area, Vircom's team clearly understands not only the new issues facing the daily email communications, but also today's business challenges faced by channel players (VARs, SIs, Distributors or Service Providers) eager to enter the fast-growing Secure Content Management (SCM) market, yet looking to increase the return on their operational investments," says Mr. Vanbosterhaut.
"Developing a successful channel strategy imposes an effective local presence," states Sylvain Durocher, President & CEO of Vircom Inc. "Our new Belgian office is complete with customer service and technical support. Our European clients will get the same personalized relation that has made Vircom's success in North America."
One of the first successes of the new office was to have Vircom officially recognized by Fujitsu-Siemens Computers as a Global Alliance Partner. "This achievement highlights the quality of Vircom's solutions and their relevance to European organizations," says Mr. Vanbosterhaut.
With over 15 years' sales and marketing experience in the Information and Communication Technologies, Mr. Vanbosterhaut comes with an extensive channel know-how, having worked with partners throughout Europe while being VP Marketing at RealScale Technologies, European Sales Director at Ericsson IP Infrastructure or Country Manager, Germany, at UB Networks.
