NorCom AG headed for further expansion with a strong sales team
- Stefan Weidner appointed new director of media/broadcasting sales
- Global market orientation for NCPower Pro
Munich, January 10, 2007 - With the appointment of Stefan Weidner to the
position of director of sales, NorCom Information Technology AG is
reinforcing its sales team and thus also strengthening its activities in
the high-growth broadcasting/media segment once more.
After steadily expanding its development team last year, NorCom was able to
substantially broaden its NCPower Pro range and now offers an end-to-end
unified media factory which includes all modules needed to cover the
requirements of a large TV broadcaster.
With its potent sales team under the aegis of Stefan Weidner, NorCom is
continuing to step up its market activities at an international level. To
date, it has been able to position itself successfully in the Middle East
and particularly also in Russia. Further target markets include Asia,
particularly China and India, while the US market is also on the agenda in
the medium term.
Sales under new management
NorCom has gained in Stefan Weidner an industry expert with many years of
experience together with extensive knowledge of the digital
media/broadcasting segment. He acquired his extensive product and market
knowledge as well as his experience in sales and marketing and technical
consulting during a tenure of over ten years at AVID Technology. Thanks to
his many years of professional experience at the seam of broadcasting and
media, he has also established a broad network of contacts in the
individual target markets and developed innovative business and sales
models, which have met with international success.
'We have gained in Stefan Weidner the ideal candidate for the position as
he has over ten years of experience in this segment and is thus extremely
well networked,' said Viggo Nordbakk, founder and CEO of NorCom AG. 'We
greatly look forward to working with him in our efforts to open up new
markets and are, of course, sure to benefit from his many years of
comprehensive experience in the digital media segment,' Nordbakk added.
Focus on growth software products market
'First and foremost, I am greatly impressed by the openness and the
enormous power of the NCPower Pro solution. This is an innovative product
which is unique in this market. This basis together with the challenge of
establishing NorCom’s range of products and services in the TV, radio, IPTV
and mobile TV segments even more effectively was the reason for my decision
to join the company,' said Stefan Weidner. 'However, the scope for
international activities also played a key role in my decision of course,'
he continued.
