9th September2005

Software Generation Limited (SGL), a leading provider of video storage management software, has significantly expanded its asian presence with the opening of a new office to serve the region in Perth, Western Australia.

The new office, which is now operational, is being headed by Kevin McAfee, recently appointed to the role. McAfee has a strong track record in the broadcast industry with extensive experience across data storage and management systems. Most recently he was a Senior Systems Engineer with Hewlett Packard in Perth where he was involved in the support of a large corporate storage infrastructure.

Prior to that he was involved with the development of a video encoder for SGI Systems, and he also worked for the company in sales roles. From 1999 - 2002 McAfee was employed by SGL in the UK where he was involved with a number of roles including pre- and post-sales support, development support and technical writing. In his new role he will work closely with partners and systems integrators and will also work directly with customers.

"This is a key step for us as we continue to grow our Asian business and support network. Kevin is obviously a key appointment in that regard and this new office in Perth provides SGL with enhanced market opportunities," explains Bernie Walsh, SGL's Director of Sales and Marketing.
