Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Storage solutions provider EMC has announced what it calls a strategic
initiative to grow its services business in Australia and New Zealand,
with the appointment of Gary Cox as head of its global services unit.
Cox has more than 25 years experience in the IT
industry, working in Europe, USA, Asia Pacific, Japan, Australia and
New Zealand. He spent 14 years at Microsoft in a number of roles across
a range of business areas.
Cox began his IT career in the UK, where he worked for a software
consulting firm before joining Oracle in the 1980s and moving to the US
with the company in 1988. Cox joined Microsoft in 1992, where he worked
as a divisional CIO and also ran the company’s Pacific Northwest
operations.
He subsequently held senior positions with Microsoft in Japan and
Australia, where he was General Manager of Sales until 2006. Cox was
most recently CEO for News Corporation subsidiary, True Local.
Cox said EMC was now targeting the SMB market for expansion which
results in EMC evolving its service offerings to ensure scale and
reach. This will involve stronger alignment with partners and its
Global Services division in the ANZ market.
“I am delighted to join EMC at a time when organizations are seeking to
extract more business value and productivity from their information
assets,” said Cox.
“I look forward to assisting companies across Australia and New Zealand
to plan, build, manage, and support every stage of the information
lifecycle. A key plank of our growth in our services business will stem
from deeper relationships with our existing partners and also securing
alliances with other providers in the enterprise technology market.”
