SANTA BARBARA, CA (September 19, 2006) � Two
executive moves at InfoGenesis headline InfoShare 2006, the company�s annual
user conference that is being hosted this week at Caesars Palace in Las
Vegas. Today, the country�s leading hospitality technology company, InfoGenesis,
promoted Mark Tapling to President and Chief Executive Officer. He replaces
Terry Cunningham, who moves to the position of Vice Chairman of the Board.
�What
we�ve be able to accomplish over the past year has been remarkable,� said
Mark Tapling, new President and CEO of InfoGenesis. �We�ve undergone major
restructuring in terms of personnel and technology, as well as enhanced
our strategy. In all this, we�ve created a vision of what hospitality technology
should look like in the future. It�s based on the concept that guest experience
management capabilities within hospitality can fuel increased profitability
for our customers. We are committed to this vision and to creating solutions
that will help our customers achieve their highest potential.�
Tapling joined InfoGenesis earlier this year as the company�s Chief
Operating Officer. He brings a wealth of experience to his position at
InfoGenesis, where he will continue to drive the company�s guest experience
management (GEM) vision, which was pioneered by his immediate predecessor,
Cunningham. Tapling�s proficiency in supervising global operations, launching
new markets and improving customer relationships continue to extend the
market leadership of InfoGenesis.
Before Tapling joined InfoGenesis, he was the CEO of Everypath, the
leading enterprise-level mobile applications company. There, Tapling led
the company to unprecedented success--establishing the mobile task automation
category and shipping products to more than 100 customers in 26 countries
around the world. Under his direction, Everypath became the recipient of
Frost & Sullivan�s �Mobile Application of the Year for Life Sciences�
award.
Earlier in his career, Tapling managed international operations for
analytics company Comshare and held executive management positions at Soft-Switch,
Inc., as well as Lotus Development (IBM). Tapling also earned significant
industry recognition when serving as the CEO of ServiceWare Technologies--successfully
leading their Initial Public Offering. During his tenure, he was
named one of Software Magazine�s �100 People to Watch in Knowledge Management�
and was given PNC Bank�s �Entrepreneur of the Year� award.
Cunningham, who has been with InfoGenesis since January 2005, has more
than two decades of technology industry experience. Prior to joining InfoGenesis,
Cunningham served as a board member and angel investor for several companies,
including Guest Technologies, ProClarity, NGRAIN Technology and Coral8.
Cunningham has a proven history of leading companies to success, beginning
with the founding of Crystal Decision in 1984. From there he created Crystal
Reports, the industry�s leading reporting tool, and formed a strategic
partnership with Microsoft. Following the sale of Crystal Reports to Seagate
Technology, Cunningham became President of Seagate Software and expertly
guided 11 key mergers and acquisitions that totaled more than $300 million.
He orchestrated one of the largest software mergers ever undertaken--the
fusion of Seagate�s Network and Storage Management Group with VERITAS Software
in 1999--and subsequently served for a year as President and COO of VERITAS.
As COO, he oversaw 3,500 employees and close to $700 million in revenue.
