PHOENIX, Jan. 15, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Discoverture, recently named as one of the insurance industry's "hot technology firms to watch" by a leading analyst firm, is pleased to announce Ron Watson has been hired as the company's Director of Sales.
In spite of the recent economic crisis, Discoverture is continuing to build an experienced professional sales team to serve growing demand for the company's services and to help Discoverture clients become more competitive. Watson, a 17-year sales and marketing veteran with significant experience in the software/technology solutions sector, will tackle the task of further expanding Discoverture's sales and marketing operations.
"We're very pleased and excited to have Ron on board," said Steve Addair, senior vice president and insurance practice head for Discoverture. "He understands the needs of insurance carriers. He knows the industry software, he knows the people, and he knows where they need our help."
Watson is uniquely qualified to help Discoverture increase their insurance industry coverage and services, as his background includes senior positions at leading policy administration and claims systems providers serving the property/casualty insurance carrier space.
"Integrity is essential to me, so I need to believe in what I sell," said Watson. "I also believe in partnering with my clients. What sold me on Discoverture was the company's impressive track record of successful project implementation in the insurance carrier space. So often, I see carriers try to fit new software into an already eclectic system, and it does not always go as planned. Software companies specialize in their own products, so true integration is not their focus. Discoverture makes implementation seamless. That's where the company shines, and it's a real opportunity."
