FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Open-c Solutions Appoints New
Head of Sales and Marketing
MINNEAPOLIS, MN., December 12, 2001 - Open-c Solutions,
a premier provider of customer-centric solutions to the energy industry,
today announced that it has appointed Mr. Richard J. Creegan as
Vice President of Sales & Marketing. Mr. Creegan takes over
responsibilities previously under the purview of Dennis McMaster,
Vice President of Business Development, who will now turn his full
attention to product management and industry alliances.
Mr. Creegan brings to Open-c over fifteen years experience in sales
and marketing with companies providing customer solutions to the
utility industry. Most recently, he served as Director of Sales
for SPL WorldGroup B.V., expanding its sales capacity in North America.
Prior to that he was with Itron, Inc., where he served as Managing
Director, Itron LTD in the UK and Area Vice-President responsible
for sales and operations in the Eastern US.
Commenting on his decision to join Open-c Solutions, Mr. Creegan
said: “The Open-cIS platform is truly the next generation in best-of-breed
customer management technology. Leaders and analysts in the industry
have said for some time that the key to meeting the changing demands
of the energy and utility industry is a customer platform built
on a robust architecture, one that supports the requirements of
the evolving marketplace. Open-cIS is the first product which fulfills
that requirement. Unlike traditional customer information systems
(CIS) that require program components or coding changes, functionality
in Open-cIS is tailored through configuration. Consequently, Open-cIS
maintains product integrity and can be upgraded to incorporate enhancements
as new releases become available. The net client benefit is maximized
return on investment through reduced cost of ownership and an extended
system life.”
Patrick Langan, President of Open-c Solutions, expressed his enthusiasm
for the new addition to the team: “Our product and company have
matured to the point that the timing is right to add significantly
to the marketing organization. Attracting an individual of Rich’s
caliber and background to lead the charge is another milestone towards
establishing Open-c as the leading provider of next-generation customer
solutions.”
