Systech Augments Key Departments To Drive Operational Excellence And International Support

• To oversee the new serialization teams and all other business functions, Systech has appointed Joe Ringwood to COO. Prior to this role, Mr. Ringwood served as VP, Sales & Operations for Systech. He has been instrumental in directing the company's strategies for growth worldwide while expanding its customer, business and technology partnerships.

These hires have been selected for their subject matter expertise and will be dedicated to address multiple product deployments. The company has also increased its customer support teams to provide level 1, 2 and 3 support to fulfill the company's Service Level Agreements. This allows Systech to deliver the most consistent responsive service performance for its product implementations.
• To bolster its international presence and enhance in-region support, Systech has established its European headquarters in Belgium. The additional location compliments its U.K. based office and will further enable its sales and professional services teams to more readily respond to system-related issues and maintain customer relationships.
• Systech has appointed a new CFO, Robert Olanoff to architect the financial growth strategy that will support the continued expansion of the business. He has an extensive career in working with growth companies, helping them implement tactics and strategies that focus on the long-term success of financial operations. At Systech, he will align processes, procurement and accounting to support ongoing serialization initiatives.
