HYBRIS EXPANDS INTO BENELUX
- E-commerce and PIM expert hybris extends partner and
sales network to the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg
. Henk-Jan van der Weide becomes new Country Manager . Numerous
e-commerce and retail partners and customers already gained
hybris is continuing its growth course, the Product Information
Management (PIM) and e-commerce expert announced today. Henk-Jan van der
Weide will assume responsibility as Country Manager for the development
of the sales and partner network in the Netherlands, Belgium and
Luxembourg. He previously worked for Intershop, a leading e-commerce and
online marketing solutions provider. "I am very much looking forward to
my new duties because I consider hybris to be the most ambitious and
exciting company in e-commerce and PIM in Europe," said van der Weide.
The 40 year old set up his first company, DIP, back in 1993, before
selling it on in 2000, after seven successful years of growth. Two years
as Country Manager at LINQ followed, one of the first companies to
specialise in selling portal software. At the end of 2002 he moved to
Ex'ovision, a Dutch manufacturer of IP videophone hardware, as Sales and
Marketing Director. During this time, Ex'ovision expanded into more than
50 countries, acquiring prestigious customers such as Philips along the
way. "hybris won the 2006 award for the best e-commerce solution for
European trading. Now this network will be established in Benelux by
customers and partners - a great challenge for the company and for me,"
added van der Weide, a Dutchman by birth.
The hybris Group is made of up hybris AG of Switzerland, Munich-based
hybris GmbH and hybris UK ltd. The group's technologically and
functionally pioneering solutions have already made a name for the
company in many European countries. "More and more companies are turning
to centralised and media-neutral data management. The hybris PIM
solution makes sales, production and communications data available for
multiple uses across several IT systems, languages, output media and
publications. Its benefits are obvious: the shortened timeframes needed
for data maintenance and cost savings in catalogue production give
companies enormous potential for savings," concluded van der Weide. The
father of two will be based in the company's Amsterdam office.
