Invenco Appoints New GM of Software Product Development

New Zealand’s INVENCO has just appointed Dr Graham Allen to head up their Software Product Development and Delivery team. This appointment will see Graham taking charge of the Software Development teams in New Zealand and Malaysia as well as the Project Management and Quality Assurance portfolios.

Graham entered the commercial world by joining Peace Software in Auckland in 2001 and spent four years holding various roles including managing software development and architecture teams. From Peace Software Graham moved on to various senior roles at EDS, Optimation NZ, and Orion Healthcare where he held the position of Development Manager. Graham introduced significant change in the development process at Orion Healthcare, migrating the approach from being solution focussed to becoming a product focussed company. During Graham’s tenure at Orion Healthcare major successful hospital automation deployments were delivered across the world.

In 2010 Graham joined Sonar6 (Now called Cornerstone Small Business - CSB) as Head of Product Development. At CSB Graham was responsible for the development and support of a SAAS performance management review tool used by HR departments in more than 350 companies globally.

In his role at Invenco, Graham will be responsible for development and delivery of all payment system and retail petroleum site automation software. This comprises a significant portfolio of products including Point of Sale, Back Office, Head Office, Payment Server, EFT Switch and Terminal Management System (TMS) products. Grahams responsibility is for the whole SDLC from cradle to grave.

Invenco CEO, Dave Ritten, says “I am really excited to have Graham on board. He brings a pragmatic and wise approach to managing the software development process. His approach is born out of both deep academic and extensive industry roots. In the brief time that Graham has been with us he has already made a number of positive changes to our organisation and I am confident that he will help take our company to the next level on the global stage”.

Dr Graham Allen responded “I am excited to be part of the Invenco team. I am passionate about growing teams who can build world class software products. Invenco offers a real challenge in that the environment is technically complex and, as the company continues to win significant global business, the development environment also needs to be migrated to a more product oriented approach in order to ensure scalability. I look forward to the challenge ahead!”.
