Certus Consulting,
an IBM Premier Partner for Software, and leading IT
consulting and implementation company, announced today the
appointment of Gary Martini, to Account Director. Based in
Christchurch, Mr Martini will be responsible for managing
key South Island accounts, as well as new business
development.
According to Penny White, General Manager Services and Operations, Certus Consulting, the appointment of Mr Martini reflects the company's commitment to expanding its nationwide operation. "Mr Martini has more than thirty years experience in implementation, managerial and business development roles within the Christchurch IT industry. His considerable knowledge of the local market, as well as his solid understanding of the IBM product range, significantly boosts our ability to deliver end-to-end services to our South Island based customers."
"The South Island market differs slightly from the rest of the country in that it is predominately comprised of small to medium companies.
