BOSTON, February 15, 2005 - BEZ Systems, a leading provider of enterprise Predictive Performance Management (PPM) solutions today announced the addition of Charles Phillips, Randy Arseneau, and John McHugh to their management team. These new members will play key roles in bringing the BEZ vision to reality. Randy and John, former Precise Software executives, join two other former Precise staff members, Brian Doyle, Vice President of Product Services and Lori Rapoza, Director of Channel Sales, who joined BEZ in the past year. Charlie Phillips has a solid track record of delivering complex defect-free software.
BEZ has a long and successful history of productizing complex closed-loop algorithms developed by some of the leading scientists in the world to accurately predict performance of complex hardware and software systems. This software is currently being used by some of the largest domestic and multinational companies. The BEZ vision includes efforts to significantly extend the reach of the current technology and apply unique expertise to address real market needs.
"The importance of predictive performance is accelerating rapidly and is being driven primarily by the business need to balance right-sizing infrastructure with anticipated growth and by the adoption of new autonomic and provisioning solutions," according to BEZ President and CEO, F. Daniel Haley. "I couldn't be happier about the addition of these highly talented and seasoned individuals. Along with the other members of the management team, they are uniquely capable of positioning BEZ for the next level of success with their firm dual understanding of the performance marketplace and the specific needs of our customers." He went on to say, "They know what works and they know how to work together—a real win-win for BEZ."
Charles Phillips joins BEZ as Vice President of Product Development. Mr. Phillips has over 15 years of experience leading and managing technical resources and will be responsible for leading the overall BEZ product development effort. Mr. Phillips comes to BEZ from Amdocs Ltd, where he was the Director of Product Development for Amdocs CRM Marketing products. "I'm very excited to be joining this very solid team," according to Mr. Phillips. "Together, we will provide our customers with innovative predictive performance solutions that add both immediate and long term value." Mr. Phillips has already made key additions to his growing team of engineers in preparation for expanding the BEZ product line.
Mr. Arseneau, newly appointed BEZ Vice President of Product Marketing, has over 20 years of experience in Information Technology and Technology Management. He was a core member of the Precise Software startup team, and played active roles in building the company from less than 20 people in 1997, through a very successful IPO, to over 500 employees. Prior to joining BEZ, Mr. Arseneau was the Director of APM Systems Engineering for VERITAS Software. "Having a solid understanding of today's performance has always been of great value to customers but it doesn't tell the whole story. The predictive capabilities of the BEZ solutions will allow our customers to become proactive in assessing the performance needs of their key applications," said Mr. Arseneau.
John McHugh joins BEZ as Vice President of Marketing, with over 20 years of executive level marketing experience in some of the industry's most successful companies including Cullinet Database Systems, Banyan Systems, and Prime Computer.
