As part of a wide-ranging re-organisation from regional operating companies to product focused business units, Asolvi are delighted to announce that Tony Milford will be returning as Managing Director for Vantage Online, Europe’s leading Workplace Technology-specific ERP solution. In excess of 250 Managed Print, Office Equipment and Workplace Technology clients currently utilise Vantage Online as their industry-specific service, contract, and stock management system. With responsibility for all development, professional services, support, and sales now resting within a single, unified entity these positive changes are aimed at further improving focus on customer and market needs.
Tony commented “Having seen a 100% growth in client numbers over the last 3 years, the time has now come to re-double our efforts. We have benefitted hugely from being part of the larger Asolvi Group and now these changes mean we can once again focus relentlessly on the needs of our customers and their software to ensure we remain at the forefront of the dynamic markets that we serve.” Announcing additional changes Tony continues “We are looking to combine the personality, adaptability, and approachability of Vantage of old, with the dynamism, aspiration, and operational rigor of Asolvi.
We have been set challenging goals by new Asolvi CEO Nick Barnett, but we are keen to get on with the job. My first decision is to update our senior team structure. Matt Houlden, who will be well known to most of our clients and the wider industry, will be returning to his former role as Operations Director. Matt will continue to oversee our Product Management function, but will also take wider responsibility for Vantage’s customer support, professional services, and implementation delivery teams.
Having expanded into new markets across Europe since its’ acquisition by Asolvi in 2019, Vantage Online will continue its expansion plans with particular focus on Southern Africa, Australasia, and the North American markets. Nick Barnett, CEO at Asolvi noted “It quite quickly become clear to me that there are many opportunities for our key growth products. It is important to ensure we remain as close as possible to our customers and the markets that we serve. I am excited to put the old Vantage team back together and I am confident, that alongside the changes we are making to the wider Asolvi organisation, we are well placed to drive growth in both our products and the wider business.
I look forward to working closely with Tony and his team on delivering both.” About Vantage Online: Launched in 2017, Vantage Online delivers exceptional value for Workplace Technology, Office Equipment and Managed Print Services providers in more than 25 countries.
