Appointment of Graeme Allan to vice president solidifies commitment to corporate expansion<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - March 26, 2001 - Lutris Technologies Inc., a leading provider of application server technology for wired and wireless development and deployment, today announced the international expansion of Lutris to Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and the appointment of Graeme Allan to vice president, EMEA. With more than 25 years of experience in sales, marketing, and European business development, Allan joins Lutris from Madge Networks, where he managed more than 140 employees and served for two years as vice president of worldwide sales, representing EMEA and the Pacific Rim. Allan also brings to Lutris five years of experience at Novell, where he served in various European marketing roles. The introduction of Lutris' EMEA office reflects the strong demand for the Lutris Enhydra Java/XML application server in key areas of the world where Enhydra's native XML support for mobile device technology, including WAP and SMS, is particularly well received. The addition of EMEA services accompanies the opening of Lutris' office in Watford, England, which serves as the company's European center for software development and professional services activities. "As the company continues to strengthen its position globally, it is important to ensure that the expansion is driven by a proven leader," explained Yancy Lind, president and CEO of Lutris Technologies. "Graeme has the experience and knowledge required to promote the business value of Enhydra and open source technology to this potentially explosive market."
