VISTAGY Appoints New Vice President of Worldwide Sales to Drive Continued Growth with Expanded Product Offerings
VISTAGY, Inc. kicked off the new year by outlining plans for continued growth in 2008 and expanding its software and services offerings to better meet the evolving needs of its global customer base. As part of its growth strategy, VISTAGY has appointed Scott Carlyle as vice president of worldwide sales to lead its international sales team and generate new revenue opportunities in its most critical industries.
Now more than ever, aerospace and automotive manufacturers face the unprecedented challenge of creating high-quality products faster and more cost-effectively with fewer errors and delivery delays. They have been forced to streamline their product development processes and collaborate more efficiently across the enterprise and entire development chain. It is critical for these companies to take advantage of the design potential that new materials such as composites offer, while integrating their increasingly complex global supply chains. As a result, engineers are turning to specialized engineering software and consulting services from VISTAGY to fill the gaps between analysis, design, manufacturing and quality to more efficiently, cost-effectively and quickly create their most complex and innovative products.
“We at VISTAGY recognized early on that the lines between design and manufacturing were blurring, creating potential opportunities for increased efficiencies and higher levels of collaboration throughout our customers’ development processes. In response to this trend, we developed our software to help engineers create a detailed product definition once, including all non-geometric data, and automatically share that master model, or reuse the information, across the entire development chain. We have tapped into our deep engineering expertise in the aerospace and automotive industries to expand our product capabilities and service offerings to address a wider range of processes and engineering challenges,” said Scott Carlyle at VISTAGY. “We are a full-service software company, offering the right mix of CAD-integrated design products, services, support and expertise to optimize the development process and solve the unique engineering problems that our cutting-edge customers face.”
The key to optimizing the complete development process is by deploying specialized engineering software with unique design and manufacturing capabilities that tightly links with analysis and quality, and provides consistent feedback on product development and manufacturing changes throughout the entire supply chain. In light of this, the company has worked to integrate its products with a number of important third party applications and analysis tools, signing on leading technology providers such as JETCAM and MSC.Software. These technology partnerships, as well as numerous strategic partnerships with its customers, have helped VISTAGY offer an unprecedented level of product flexibility to its customer base and their suppliers. Mr. Carlyle states that “the combination of expanded software offerings, full service and support, and new customer agreements have helped VISTAGY achieve record revenue this past year, and will lay the groundwork for new and exciting growth opportunities in 2008.”
