SGL opens new Asian office

Software Generation Ltd (SGL), a leading provider of video storage management software, has significantly expanded its Asian presence with the opening of a new office to serve the region in Perth, Western Australia.
The new office, which is now operational, is being headed by Kevin McAfee, recently appointed to the role. McAfee has a strong track record in the broadcast industry with extensive experience across data storage and management systems. Most recently he was a Senior Systems Engineer with Hewlett Packard in Perth where he was involved in the support of a large corporate tape storage infrastructure.
Prior to that, he was involved with the development of a video encoder for SGI Systems, and he also worked for the company in sales roles. From 1999-2002 McAfee was employed by SGL in the UK where he was involved with a number of roles including pre and post-sales support, development support and technical writing. In his new role he will work closely with partners and systems integrators and will also work directly with customers.
Bernie Walsh, SGL’s Sales Director, said: “This is a key step for us as we continue to grow our Asian business and support network. Kevin is obviously a key appointment in that regard and this new office in Perth provides SGL with enhanced market opportunities.”
