BERLIN, GERMANY, June 1, 2009 -- SirsiDynix, the global leader in Integrated Library Systems (ILS), today announced that it has opened a new office in Berlin, Germany to serve the needs of German libraries and, longer term, support customers in Central Europe. The office addition marks the continued success of SirsiDynix as it expands to meet the needs of its customer base.
"Berlin is the perfect addition to our global offices, and provides both a healthy business climate and the rich talent pool we were seeking," said Gary M. Rautenstrauch CEO of SirsiDynix. "The response in this vibrant market has been inspiring, so we're looking forward to building our German team and bringing the benefits of SirsiDynix Symphony to even more libraries across Germany."
The new SirsiDynix office is located on Rosenstraße 2, 10178 Berlin, in the heart of the city centre and can support the company’s expanding sales, operations, and training organizations. The new office opening comes at a time when SirsiDynix is realizing growth across EMEA. The office will provide additional support to more of the many German companies already using SirsiDynix solutions, as well as position the company solidly for future growth.
Paul Trefonas, Head of Sales & Marketing EMEA, noted, "Considering the warm reception of SirsiDynix Symphony in Germany and our pending release of version 3.3, we consider our new facilities in Berlin an integral component of our growth strategy in this region. Not only will the office provide us with a new sales hub in Germany, but it also allows us to provide extended support, including training facilities, to our existing customer base."
