Galileo Group AG appoints Josef Huber to Vice President Sales and Marketing

Munich, August 07, 2007 - Galileo Group AG, a leading provider of software solutions for change and configuration management (CCM) for SAP implementations, is pleased to announce the appointment of Josef Huber to Vice President Sales and Marketing. Josef will strengthen the management team and help drive Galileo Group to the next level of expansion.

Josef has amassed more than 24 years of experience in the IT marketplace, of which over 15 years were spent in senior management positions in marketing and sales at international software companies including Siemens AG, CE Computer Equipment AG, Documentum, Mentor Graphics, Tridion and Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG. Before joining the Galileo Group he served as Regional Vice President Central and Eastern Europe at Stellent from 2002 to 2007, where he build a multi-million Euro business virtually from scratch. One of Josef Huber's ambitious goals is to establish the Galileo Group as the leading provider of CCM solutions for SAP.

“Josef brings impressive management experience within international software companies, senior sales leadership, commitment as well as enthusiasm to Galileo Group,“ said Malte Klassen, CEO at Galileo Group. "These are the values we need to enter the next phase of rapid growth and global expansion.“
"Maintenance and development processes for complex SAP environments, in particular in large enterprises, have become increasingly complex over the last years. New requirements like SAP templates, IT factories or off-shoring have contributed to this trend, as has the introduction of new SAP modules and technologies such as the JAVA part of SAP Netweaver. Reduction of IT costs combined with the above requirements have resulted in a strong demand for solutions supporting the automation of the SAP change and distribution process, while delivering higher quality to SAP end users. With the CCM suite Conigma™, Galileo Group owns a product ideally equipped to address these challenges." Josef Huber comments. “I’m excited to be joining Galileo and look forward to increasing the market share of Galileo in Europe as well as expanding our business globally,“ he added.
