Two years after acquiring supply chain planning software vendor Demand Management Inc. (DMI), Logility Inc. late last week announced that it has installed a new president, whose plan, he told Managing Automation, is to quickly move the company's products to a Microsoft .NET foundation.
New president Bill Harrison, a former Logility employee, joined Demand Management in mid-August and has spent the last few weeks working through a transition plan, as well as meeting with customers, prospects and employees. He replaced Mike Campbell, who had signed a two-year employment contract to remain at the helm of Demand Management when the company was acquired by Logility in September of 2004.
Harrison, 47, has spent the last two-plus years consulting to the technology and venture capital communities.
Previously he worked for ClearCross Inc., a Reston, VA-based e-commerce and logistics management software vendor, where he was executive vice president and chief operating officer. At ClearCross, Harrison was responsible for day-to-day operations, overseeing sales, marketing, product strategy, business development consulting, software development, customer support, and information technology.
