rPath Reinforces System Automation Mission with New Sales V.P.
Industry Veteran Richard Morrison Set to Accelerate Enterprise Adoption of rPath
RALEIGH, NC, August 06, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- rPath, an innovator in automating system deployment and maintenance, today announced that industry veteran Richard Morrison has joined the company as vice president of sales. An accomplished international executive, Morrison is charged with building on and accelerating the momentum rPath has established within enterprise IT.
"rPath is defining the future of system automation for IT departments being asked to do more work, more quickly, with smaller budgets," said Mike Torto, chief executive officer for rPath. "Our technologies make IT more agile and more cost effective, so our customers can easily leverage the full force of their software. We're seeing significant growth in our enterprise customer base; we're looking to Rich to scale our sales organization and accelerate that growth."
Morrison joins rPath as the company refines its system automation vision and prepares to fully deliver on that vision with rPath 6.0. The rPath vision is vividly expressed in "Connecting the Software Supply Chain," the free white paper that defines the integrated software supply chain that enables organizations to automate and streamline IT system construction and change. "Connecting the Software Supply Chain" is available now as a free download at http://bit.ly/clvt8C.
Building on the white paper's tenets, rPath 6.0 will feature a GUI-based, command-and-control center that lets users construct, deploy and repair multi-tier business services with the click of a button and the drag of an object. rPath 6.0 will fully model and automate software systems—from the business service through the OS and back through the software supply chain—making the most complex IT tasks intuitive, visual and easy to perform for users of all levels and IT organizations of all sizes.
Before joining rPath, Morrison spent 20-plus years growing and managing divisional operations for global software companies, with more than 17 years developing international markets through direct and channel sales. His experience includes president and COO of U.S. operations for AppSense Ltd.; vice president of sales and general manager for CDC Software; vice president of global business development for Tangoe, Inc.; president of U.S. operations for RESPOND, Inc.; and executive vice president of sales for HomePortfolio.com. Morrison is a Gulf War Veteran and served as a U.S. Army Captain, Special Operation Forces.
Morrison said, "rPath has developed some tremendous technology, backed by an impressive team. Our system automation products provide powerful, easy-to-use solutions to some of the thorniest challenges facing business and IT today. That means we can help a lot of people out, and that's exactly what we're going to do; whether it's help with release lifecycle management, on-demand platform provisioning, or providing the standardized infrastructure and automated process for enabling self-service private and hybrid clouds."
