Avecto Reveals Ambitious Plans for Global Growth
Windows 7 security concerns driving significant Fortune 1000 world-wide enterprise security deals
Boston, MA and Manchester, UK
Avecto Ltd, the leader in Windows privilege management, today
announced ambitious plans for continued global expansion. The
announcement comes hot on the heels of the recent release of
Privilege Guard 2.7, which further extended the companies technical
leadership.
"Privilege Guard has become the industry's most comprehensive
solution for enabling the security principle of least privilege in
Windows environments. Users are empowered with all the privileges
they need to perform their role but importantly, the risks
associated with the intentional, accidental and indirect misuse of
privileges are eliminated. Sales are more than triple those
achieved in the first nine months of our last financial year, and
we have secured a number of contracts where the license sales of
Privilege Guard have exceeded 100,000 desktops. As a direct result,
we are expanding our foot-print both in North America and Europe
with multiple new hires, " says Tony Bolland, CEO at Avecto.
A key part of the expansion plan is the recent move to larger
office space in Andover, MA. This expansion is led by VP/ Director
of the Americas, Joe L'Italien, who has an extensive and proven
track record in building successful sales teams and software
companies.
"After evaluating many options we chose the town of Andover,
Massachusetts as the best location for our rapidly expanding needs.
Privilege Guard has been very well received by large organizations
in the aerospace, financial, healthcare, federal and state
government sectors as well as other industries here in the US and
Canada.
Organizations upgrading to Microsoft's Windows 7 have had a very
positive impact on our business. This high level of growth has
driven our requirement to add more new hires to our team. This
level of expansion ensures Avecto continues to provide customers
with the world class service and support they have come to
expect,"comments Joe.
