Kognitio supports strong growth with two senior appointments - UK-Based BI Solutions Provider Responds to Continued Growth and Plans for Expansion
Marlow, United Kingdom - 17th April 2007 - Kognitio, a leading provider of solutions to business problems that require acquisition, rationalisation and analysis of both large and complex data volumes, today announced that following strong sustained sales of its data migration and warehousing solutions and services, it has created and filled two senior positions. André Dent steps in as Sales Director, while Nick Strangways moves from his previous position as Senior Client Consultant to become Director of Managed Services. In addition to helping the team meet the needs currently placed on the Company by steady growth, Dent and Strangways will work with the Kognitio Board of Directors to plan the Company's expansion in new geographical markets.
Kognitio helps businesses gain competitive advantage from their data thanks to its industry-leading analytical database WX2, through its independent data migration services team, one of the largest in the UK, and with its managed services offering which is aimed at organisations that do not have sufficient human and financial resources to carry out a specific project in-house.
'Because all our offerings are extremely appealing we have attracted great interest both from customers looking to get better value and performance for their money and from technology partners wishing to align themselves with our unique technology,' said Roger Llewellyn, CEO at Kognitio. 'This has resulted in a very healthy growth and plans to expand abroad in the next 12-18 months. André and Nick are a great asset and I am looking forward to working with them to make Kognitio one of our industry's most respected brands.'
Following his latest appointment Nick today has responsibility for all of Kognitio's Business Intelligence service and delivery programmes. With over 20 years' experience in the IT Industry, Nick has been focused on BI and data warehousing for the past 12. Nick joined Kognitio in February 2000 in a project management role undertaking engagements for major organisations in the financial services sector. Numerous successful projects resulted in Nick taking on a client management role before taking on his current role. Prior to joining Kognitio Nick worked for numerous blue chip organisations including LogicaCMG, EDS, Prudential, Tesco, Abbey and Woolwich on a range of BI, CRM and online application processing environments giving him extensive knowledge in the field of data management, acquisition and integration.

André has over ten years' expertise in generating sales of data warehousing, BI, data mining and advanced enterprise information management software.
