Merced Systems opens New EMEA Headquarters to Accommodate Growth

Redwood Shores, CA, and London, England, 17th August 2010 — Merced Systems, the leader in Sales Performance Management and Service Performance Management solutions, today announced it has moved its EMEA headquarters to meet the needs of its growing team and customer base.

Having outgrown its current location, Merced’s EMEA headquarters is relocating to prestigious offices at Arlington Square in Bracknell, UK. The EMEA headquarters is also home to a significant proportion of the company’s overall software development.

"Merced has seen significant growth in revenues, customers and our team," commented Brenda Morris, VP EMEA of Merced Systems. “Demand from our strong EMEA client base including O2, Cable & Wireless, BT and The Co-operative Financial Services has resulted in consistent year-on-year financial growth.  The move to larger premises will accommodate future expansion and provide space for state-of-the-art training facilities for our customers and employees.”

“The current economic climate and need for sales and service performance management in Europe is creating a great opportunity to help organisations mature. Optimal performance in sales and service is tightly linked to an organisation providing the best quality customer experience. It is great to see Merced Systems expanding to meet this market opportunity with new EMEA headquarters to meet customers’ demand for local services and support, ” said Richard Snow, VP and Global Research Director of Ventana Research UK.

Brenda Morris added, “With our technology we are well placed to capitalise on this burgeoning software sector which is rapidly being adopted by today’s leading blue chip companies due to its proven performance and rapid return on investment.”
