2003 - Management Restructure

 

"TSRI Announces Management Restructure"

Kirkland, WA. (February 12, 2003) – To meet the rapidly growing list of business expansion opportunities available to The Software Revolution, Inc. (TSRI), the company announces several important changes in its management structure. Mr. Stanley Beckelman, TSRI's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) since July 2000, will become Chairman of the Board of Directors, while Mr. Philip Newcomb, the company's Founder, will take the helm as TSRI's new CEO and become Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Mr. Beckelman, having successfully transformed the company's focus from Y2K remediation to legacy system modernization, is being freed from day-to-day operational responsibility for the company to exercise his extensive business contacts to support the next phase of TSRI's development - rapid sales growth. During his tenure as CEO, Mr. Beckelman restructured TSRI, leading it into the 21st century, with the company enjoying growth of 300% in 2001 and 350% in 2002. In his new capacity as Chairman, Mr. Beckelman will be positioned to continue to provide guidance to TSRI's management, while simultaneously focusing his efforts on expanding TSRI's business base.

Philip Newcomb brings 20 years of management and 30 years of technical experience to his new role as TSRI's CEO. Having founded TSRI and developed the company's core technology, Mr. Newcomb is now in a position to focus TSRI's ever-increasing array of services and products on the company's markets-of-interest.

Philip Newcomb, TSRI's new CEO said, "Mr. Beckelman's contribution to the structure, focus, organizational discipline and growth of TSRI has been invaluable. He has positioned TSRI to be a dominant force in the growing legacy system modernization marketplace and we are pleased that his guidance and business acumen will continue to be a resource upon which TSRI can draw to realize its full potential. I also welcome the challenge of being TSRI's CEO and Board Co-Chairman knowing that the automated legacy system modernization technologies being harnessed by TSRI will become the standard by which all such technologies will be measured in the future."

"TSRI Joins Microsoft's Mainframe Migration Alliance"

Kirkland, WA. (November 22, 2004) – The Software Revolution, Inc. (TSRI) has joined the Microsoft Corporation's Mainframe Migration Alliance (MMA). The alliance is comprised of a group of companies working together to help customers migrate from their legacy mainframe computers to a Microsoft platform.

Today's mainframe users have identified five key reasons for migration:
  • High cost of operations & upgrades
  • Lack of flexibility and agility
  • Long time-to-market for new products
  • Shrinking mainframe labor pool
  • Vendor roadmaps forcing tough decisions

These highly specialized alliance members are expert at addressing legacy system migration issues. Thus, the alliance will afford customers a central point where information and support is available to meet their migration needs. To learn more about the alliance and its members click here.

Greg Tadlock, TSRI's Vice President, Sales & Marketing said, "TSRI is gratified to be accepted by Microsoft as a Mainframe Migration Alliance member. TSRI's participation will ensure that migration customers realize that a proven low-cost, low-risk, and fully automated approach to legacy system migration is a viable option when the customer's system is comprised of unique and often-irreplaceable functionality. By teaming with TSRI, Microsoft and other alliance members, mainframe owners now have an exit strategy and need no longer be held captive by mainframe manufacturers."
