I.B.I.S., Inc. Adds Industry Veteran Douwe Bekaert to Management Team to Expand Rapidly Growing Microsoft Information Worker Practice

NORCROSS, Ga.- I.B.I.S. Inc. announced today the addition of industry veteran Douwe Bekaert to its management team. Bekaert will lead I.B.I.S’ rapidly expanding Microsoft Information Worker (IW) Practice, centered on Microsoft Office and CRM Solutions for mid- and upper mid-market enterprises. Bekaert’s background, which combines hands-on Microsoft Application Architecture with Project Management, will bring direct experience and solid leadership to the new role.

I.B.I.S.’ Information Worker (IW) practice delivers comprehensive solutions which increase employee productivity and efficiency via the strategic use of business intelligence through the creation of intelligent information (work) flows, automating business processes, utilizing communications, searching, and publishing relevant data to information portals. The IW practice leverages Microsoft’s Office Server system, CRM, Business Intelligence and SharePoint product lines, among others.

Bekaert moved to Atlanta in 1998 to join (then) Extreme Logic, a premier Microsoft solution provider, as an Enterprise Architect developing custom applications for customers such as Peachtree Accounting, Wachovia and Ryder. He later assumed roles in Project and Consulting Management, leading both large- and smaller scale projects focused around business intelligence and helping to run the Atlanta practice. In early 2003 when Hewlett-Packard acquired Extreme Logic, Bekaert assisted in the management and operation of the Americas Consulting Division.

“We are thrilled to have Douwe on board with I.B.I.S,” said Andy Vabulas, CEO of I.B.I.S. Inc. “We truly believe in the tremendous business value of IW solutions, and Douwe is the right person to drive this initiative at I.B.I.S. His experience in both Development and Management brings value to the role, and to our firm.”
