CHICAGO, IL–May 8, 2007–Today, OpenMake Software welcomed former Serena executive Mark Manzo as senior vice president of Sales. OpenMake Software is revolutionizing the build-to-release management process for organizations of all sizes, adding new products and enhancing sales capabilities. To ensure the company’s success, Mark is responsible for expanding OpenMake’s sales and distribution efforts.
“Mark joins OpenMake at a critical time as Meister is being embraced by
enterprise-class users. Building upon OpenMake’s strong technical
alliances, Mark will lead expansion of our direct sales and
international reseller support organizations,” stated Stephen J. King,
CEO of OpenMake Software.
Mark, with more than 20 years of experience in software-build
technology, held executive positions with Serena, Merant, STEP
Technology and Vermont Creative Software. At
Intersolv/Polytron—creators of PVCS—he established an inside sales
organization and strengthened distribution channel efforts. Working
with key industry software-development technology providers, Mark
forged strategic alliances within diverse group of companies such as
Microsoft, IBM, SAP, Oracle, Remedy, Borland, Merant and Serena.
In the last quarter, OpenMake has expanded its industry-leading product
offerings by introducing OpenMake Meister build services, used for
dynamically defining and executing software builds, and OpenMake Mojo,
a cost-free build-to-release process automation tool for software
developers. These OpenMake offerings help teams deliver maximum
protection from failed software releases by providing improved
build-process traceability, impact analysis and audit control through
superior compile and dependency management and reporting.
As audit requirements and impact-analysis requirements grow,
speed-to-market is still critical to the software development process.
To address the increasingly complex environment IT organizations
encounter, OpenMake is enhancing relationships with the business
enterprise through expanded direct-sales support, enhanced professional
services, and expanded reseller and distributor programs for North
America and overseas geographies. Mark contributes key experience and
leadership as OpenMake grows to better serve these business
relationships.
