Customer demand for Levementum's Open Source (News - Alert) technologies has witnessed significant growth prompting Levementum to expand its global presence with new subsidiary, Levementum Australia, in Sydney.
Levementum Australia will provide comprehensive services for design, implementation, support, training and cloud hosting, as well as the sale of the popular SugarCRM (News - Alert), Compiere ERP, Magneto Commerce, Mindtouch Collaboration and Pentaho BI solutions.
The Australian subsidiary will be in charge of implementing solutions and providing support services in Australia and the Asia Pacific region. It is expected that customers will benefit from the experience and support provided by the local team.
Stephen Durant, MD of Levementum Australia was confident that the establishment of an office at Sydney would help clients to leverage the open source and business consulting capabilities across a number of industries.
Durant explained that Sydney had been chosen because of its potential, its large population of motivated professionals, its modern infrastructure and political and economic stability, and said that the center at Sydney will provide a complete array of open source technology and business consulting services as the other centers did.
With lots of experience in sales and consulting operations in the Australian and Asian markets for over a decade, Durant will be the CEO of the Australian subsidiary.
