HolAgent Appoints New VP of Operations

HolAgent Corporation is excited about our latest appointment, Willy Falk. Willy brings to us a solid operations background from High Tech companies such as Gadzoox Networks, Dell Computers, Auspex Systems, IBM, and Hitachi Data Systems just to name a few. He brings to Holagent over 20 years experience in management, with everything from professional services and business operations to engineering support. Our new VP was past Director of Professional Services and Support while working for Ascent Logic Corporation for three years, thus giving him a solid background knowledge of our product line.

Mr Falk developed strategic processes, plans, and systems to improve customer satisfaction, profit margins, and increase revenue while reducing expenses. Hitachi Data Systems, for example, was able to increase the profit margin from 40 to 55 percent in third party sales and service operations alone. These are just a few of the many advances Willy made at past companies.

As Holagent Corporation continues to pick-up speed and migrate into many new areas of business, and as it becomes an even more global, total solutions company, we believe that Mr. Falk's successful knowledge and solid business practices will advance our success into the 21st century. Mr Falk will be responsible for the development and management of all business operations in the United States with the Corporate office located in Gilroy CA.

Holagent Corporation is proud to announce that Mr. Mark Friedman has joined our Management Team as Vice President of Engineering. Mr. Friedman brings over seventeen years of leading edge experience in systems architecture, use case analysis, systems design and implementation and is an expert in the communication of such matters. He is the architect and developer of numerous tools and the author of software analysis and design courses used throughout Canada and the United States.

Mr. Friedman was most recently a project manager and lead architect at Barclays Global Investors where he bridged the communication gap between domain experts, end users, and development teams using use cases and the UML.

These projects benefited numerous end-user clients including GE Financial Assurance, Chevron Corporation, Royal and SunAlliance, and Kaiser Permanente. He was also principal and founder of Train-of-Thought, Inc. producing programming tools.

Mr. Friedman is an evangelist for software analysis and design, and a firm believer in cross-functional teamwork and multidisciplinary teams. His ability to manage and motivate is borne out by his track record of bringing products to market. "In his new role, Mark will be responsible for the design, development and implementation of Holagent's new product set, first release expected third quarter of 2001. His software knowledge and management skills closely align with our development needs.
