LINZ, Austria, Jan 21, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- dynaTrace software, the leader in continuous application performance management across the application lifecycle for business critical Java and .NET applications, today announced that the former Wily Vice President of Sales for EMEA Roger Andrews has joined dynaTrace as VP of Sales for EMEA. Andrews will be responsible for managing the dynaTrace sales operation that has generated strong European revenue and customer growth in the past three years.
 

"Our European theater continues to drive the lion's share of our business, with world-class customers like UBS, Deutsche Post, The Swiss Army, ARZ, Provinzial and Arval," said dynaTrace CEO John Van Siclen. "Roger is a proven sales leader having built very successful European sales teams at both ATG and then again at Wily. He knows the APM space very well, and knows how to build lasting value for our customers. I am thrilled that Roger has joined us to take our EMEA operations to the next level."
 

Andrews joins dynaTrace from Troux Systems where he served as Senior Vice President and General Manager for EMEA, where he built a world-class team and rapidly scaled business. Prior to Troux, he served as VP of Sales for EMEA of Wily Technology, where he started the EMEA sales organization and helped it grow to over $20 million in under three years, leading to Wily's acquisition by CA for $375 million.
 

During Andrews' over 20 years of software industry experience he has held various sales executive and management positions providing unique insight into the challenges customers face in developing and managing business-critical applications. Before his success at Wily, Andrews helped e-commerce leader ATG scale their European business from scratch to over $70 million in three years as its EMEA General Manager. Prior to ATG, Andrews served in various executive and leadership positions at Eyretel, Sterling Software and Wang.
 

"dynaTrace has built an impressive business in a very short period of time. This is a tribute to the unique value of the company's product, its people and culture. It is also an acknowledgement that the market needs more than traditional APM to solve the growing challenges facing development and operations today." said Andrews. "I did quite a bit of due diligence on dynaTrace before joining. The deeper I drilled down, the more solid I found the company, its products and the market opportunity. My research also showed me that dynaTrace is highly innovative in its thinking with an energy that is truly unique. I am genuinely excited to have the opportunity to take dynaTrace's largest business, the EMEA theatre, and accelerate its growth while enhancing customer success."
