September 23, 2007 - The recent expansion marks CCSS’s ongoing confidence in the European server software market. Industry Analyst IDC agrees the German server market continues to experience healthy trends in 2Q07 with IBM, the leading vendor, enjoying a 30% market share of the total unit shipments which are close to 89,000 according to their German Quarterly Server Tracker.
Bonn based CCSS in Germany is already the preferred System i monitoring solution provider of leading national and internationally recognised brands such as tea, cereal and health product manufacturing giant, OTG and the globally ubiquitous McDonald’s. As part of their strategy for the two regions, CCSS will focus on vertical markets such as pharmaceutical, finance and manufacturing where they have a compelling global client list already.
Between them, Switzerland and Germany already boast eight of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies, many hundreds of prominent financial institutions and a formidable manufacturing industry. The IBM System i is especially popular for these industries as the platform is amongst the most robust, secure and reliable available today.
Managing Director for CCSS, Ray Wright, says the European expansion is the latest in a series of strategic moves that the company has undertaken in the past 18 months, “Last year was significant for us in relocating some of our senior members of staff from the UK to the US. Coupled with this, we launched CCSS Asia in the Philippines to more directly serve System i customers in the AsiaPacific region. Now, by increasing our sales presence in Europe we can offer direct global sales coverage with more dedicated resources for our growing customer base.”
