With an initial staff of just himself and a sales engineer, and based in Sydney, Stjernström said EPiServer’s Australian presence will support business operations for both Australia and New Zealand. Stjernström said that EPiServer had experienced 40 per cent business growth over the last 12 months and 60 per cent license growth in the first six months of 2009, and that the company was “the creator of the world’s fastest growing commercial Content Management System (CMS). “Currently more than 2,500 customers around the globe are using EPiServer CMS to develop and manage collaborative and engaging websites, and the platform is the foundation of more than 9,000 websites and is used on a daily basis by more than 130,000 web editors.” According to Stjernström, the company already has an “impressive stable of Australian customers,” including Museum Victoria, Collage of Law, Diabetes ustralia, Assa Abloy and Perth Zoo, and in New Zealand “a strong footprint across some 10 local councils and has been deployed by several financial institutions including AXA, AMI and AMP. “EPiServer also has a host of Australian partners including Intergen, 303 and Ares, and aims to continue building its network of partners.” For the Australian and New Zealand market, Stjernström says the company has some “aggressive goals in place for our first six months, including achieving substantial local business growth, building our position as a local market leader and developing our valuable partner ecosystem.” Stjernström joined EPiServer from Swedish IT company, Netstar, when it was acquired by EPiServer, and has experience in IT over several years, including selling online community platforms which he says allow users to “build their own Facebook.” |
