Software AG has appointed its Australia and New Zealand sales director, Steve Keys, to a regional role as head of global consulting services across Asia, Australia and Japan.

Keys, who will be based in Sydney at Software AG’s regional headquarters, has been given the primary responsibility of driving sustainable, profitable growth across the company’s consulting services business.

Keys said he sees significant growth opportunities for the GCS business across the region “as organisations are seeking to derive more value from their existing IT investments.

“Our goal is to help customers achieve results faster, which we deliver through business and IT transformation. That transformation can only occur through a combination of people, process and technology.”

Keys joined Software AG as sales director for the company’s Enterprise Transaction Systems (ETS) business division in 2006 and was promoted to sales director for Australia and New Zealand early this year.

Prior to joining Software AG, Keys worked for eight years with Primavera Systems, overseeing the development of its international sales operations throughout UK, Europe and Asia Pacific.
