SAN RAFAEL, Calif.--Aug. 1, 2006--Kabira Technologies Inc., a leader in high performance transaction processing software for global enterprises, announced today the appointment of Sanjay Saini as Vice President, Global Customer Services. In his new role, Saini will be responsible for Kabira's professional services, support and education teams. Prior to joining Kabira, Saini headed Mercury Interactive Corporation's strategic consulting division and professional services practice for the Western and Central U.S. and Canada.
Saini has been leading professional services operations at large software companies for more than 10 years. He is currently responsible for mission-critical engagements at Fortune 1000 companies within Kabira's core vertical markets of telecommunications, financial services, and online exchanges. Saini is helping these global enterprises with business transformation, project and program management, ERP and process management, and IT optimization.
"Sanjay's proven leadership in deploying large enterprise systems is critical as Kabira offers more packaged, tailored transaction processing solutions that customers can implement quickly and maintain realistically," said Bradley Rode, Chief Operating Officer of Kabira. "Many large transaction processing solutions are deployed as one-off, unique consulting engagements creating long implementation cycles and making modifications complex and costly. With Sanjay's expertise, Kabira is closing the gap for those companies requiring high performance, flexible, and cost-effective systems."
Saini joined Mercury as part of its acquisition of Kintana, Inc. Saini was part of the initial start-up team at Kintana and helped that company grow from a boutique consulting firm to become the recognized leader in IT governance solutions for Fortune 1000 companies. Saini began his career with Oracle in Bangalore, India. He holds M.S. and B.E. degrees from the Birla Institute of Technology & Science.
The appointment of Saini follows Kabira's other key management additions, including Bradley Rode as COO, Eric Graber as vice president of global sales and Mark Phillips as CTO. These executive appointments are part of Kabira's new strategy to align its unique strengths in high volume transaction processing software and the rapidly accelerating needs of real-time, always-on business models -- such as telecommunications, financial services, and on-line exchanges. These industries demand the highest performance at the lowest cost per transaction with extreme scalability.
Kabira's Transaction Platform(TM) and Accelerator(TM) products provide highly effective solutions for organizations confronting today's market demand for real-time transaction processing. Its unique Transaction Optimized Services(TM) technology is the "secret sauce" that enables Kabira to do so much more for less. A 64-bit memory-resident platform, Kabira can execute more than 50,000 transactions per second running on standard commodity hardware. Since Kabira supports real-time data, transactions, applications, and connectivity in high-speed memory, transactions execute up to 100 times faster than with systems relying on disks. This inherent service-oriented approach to transaction processing is ideal for today's SOA-based business applications and services that require flexibility, scalability, reliability and maximum performance.
