HOUILLON TAKES OVER AT SAGE
A little earlier than perhaps expected, the era of Pascal Houillon as CEO of Sage North America began this week. He took over from Sue Swenson, who had held the job since from March 2008, and had it for one of the toughest periods imaginable since she got to be the hatchet-person for shedding people and costs. Yesterday was her last day. The press has not officially talked to Houillon – a scheduled call was postponed until May 6 because of the timing of the end of the first half yesterday, March 31, and the announcement of those results on May 4.
So far, the VARs who I have talked to and who have talked to him seem impressed that he knows a lot about the operation and was able to talk knowledgeably. Sage didn’t issue a press release but a communication from Tom Miller, VP of channel management, went out to resellers to give them the word about the official transfer of power. Someone asked me today what I thought the main issues would be for Summit, the combo user and channel conference being held in July at the Gaylord National Harbor near Washington D.C. I said we all want to know what the new guy is going to do. And everyone wants to know about the products and the quality of products they will have from Sage to sell.
