Acresso Software has grabbed a 15 year IT sales veteran from IBM to head up its Asia Pacific business.

Brett Ison, most recently IBM’s director-business development and operations in Korea, has been appointed Acresso’s general manager Asia Pacific, based in Sydney, and responsible for managing the company’s sales teams and customer relationships, as well as driving sales and support for Acresso’s range of software solutions for licensing, compliance and entitlement relationship management in Australia, Japan, Korea, China Taiwan and the ASEAN region.

Acresso president and CEO, Mark Bishof, says Ison’s experience will enable Acresso  to “address the specific licensing and compliance challenges faced by organisations in the Asia Pacific region and play an integral role in our continued expansion.”

Bishof says the company’s FLEXnet manager suite software would help Australian organisations avoid license violations and over-spending by automatically inventorying Oracle deployments.
