 Australian network equipment manufacturer Opengear, which has just reported first quarter sales growth of 49.9 per cent compared to last year, is now expanding its presence in the United Kingdom.
Opengear (www.opengear.com) designs appliances that simplify remote access and control of mission-critical IT network infrastructure, even if the network is down, by providing an “out-of-band” management console. With senior managers and its R&D team in Brisbane, Opengear makes more than 80 per cent of its sales in the US.
Opengear reports that its first quarter sales increased by 49.9 per cent over the corresponding period in 2011. Driving that growth during the past year is a massive increase in demand for its 3G solutions to provide secure out-of-band connectivity to remote sites. Demand for 3G products has overtaken traditional solutions by 32.3 per cent, with that lead growing as competition between cellular carriers drives down 3G data plan prices.
To capitalise on this strong performance, Opengear has recruited Andy Harris to the role of Vice President of Sales for EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa). Andy has previously held senior sales roles at companies including Talari Networks, Uplogix and Netbotz.
Opengear CEO Rick Stevenson said the company’s rapid growth reflected a real need in the marketplace for secure remote management of critical IT and operational technology (OT) infrastructure. “Whether it’s at a co-located data centre, branch office or an industrial site, businesses are demanding remote management products that deliver reliability, availability and low mean time to repair,” he said.

 When Entity Solutions recognised that it had outgrown its accounting software, the multi-award-winning professional engagement (contractor management) services company turned to Evolution Business Systems (EBS) and the Microsoft Dynamics NAV enterprise management software to meet its needs.
With turnover growth of nearly 50 per cent in 2010-11, Entity Solutions choose Microsoft Dynamics NAV because it offered the ability to immediately meet its current needs and the flexibility to meet all requirements for the foreseeable future. For Entity Solutions CEO Matthew Franceschini, the Microsoft Dynamics NAV project was “the single most successful technology implementation I have ever seen” – on time, within budget and delivering more than EBS initially promised.
“As a company, EBS is agile and responsive," said Mr. Franceschini. They are transparent and they deliver. Our approach with any supplier is to have a win-win partnership. If you can come from that perspective, if you find a supplier that can trust you on that assumption, you can be more transparent and open to discussion on inputs and outputs, so you will get a better result. With EBS, that’s the approach they take.”
