LONDON, March 18, 2011 - Vivisimo, the leader in Information Optimization, announced today that it

Gary brings to Vivisimo's customers sixteen years of experience working for a
variety of established firms including Autonomy, eSpirit, and Siemens. During
his lengthy career Gary has been responsible for pioneering new business
development with customers across the globe. Irrespective of the technology
involved, Palmer has focused on developing solutions that deliver true

Before joining Vivisimo, Gary worked for Siemens in the Product Lifecycle
Management division as a strategic account manager responsible for capturing
new business at major United Kingdom companies. Prior to this Gary was a
Senior Sales Executive at a FTSE 100 enterprise software company and was
responsible for developing new business relationships with large businesses
including TNT, Scottish & Southern Energy and the South African Revenue
Service.
"We are delighted by the wealth of sales experience and new business
results that Gary is bringing to the table to help spearhead our efforts to
address the strong demand overseas for our Information Optimization
platform," said John Kealey, CEO of Vivisimo. "Over the past two years
Information Optimization has transformed from a great platform into a
credible trend that is continuing to gain momentum with European-based
organizations that are looking for real economic returns on their software
investments."
Palmer spent over 10 years creating a European subsidiary for an American
software company with a focus on life-science clients, successfully creating
relationships with 14 of the 20 largest pharmaceutical companies. This
followed a period of nine years in industrial control systems with roles
evolving through product development, project management and presales before
transitioning into business development and sales in the mid 90s.
"I chose Vivisimo because I recognized that more and more organizations
needed a platform like Vivisimo's Velocity that helps extract the maximum
business value out of the information residing in the network," said Gary
Palmer. "As more data is placed on the network and as organizations take on a
larger virtual and/or remote workforce it's becoming abundantly clear that
there's an endless supply of customers that will need Vivisimo's help to
coral and use that data effectively. Recent analyst reports in the USA alone
indicate that over $1.4 trillion was lost annually by organizations because
workers wasted time looking for the correct information within their
network."
