LANDESK had been working on rebranding itself for nine months, and the bringing together of the company with HEAT Software into Ivanti provides an ideal opportunity to create a brand – and a strategy around it – to cross-market and cross-sell all the company’s solutions.
LANDESK CEO Steve Daly, who will head the new firm created by merging LANDESK and HEAT, talks about how HEAT will enhance LANDESK’s service management business, especially on the MSP side. He also discusses integration issues, the new company’s strategy, and channel issues — as well as why the new firm will likely have a new name.
Current LANDESK CEO Steve Daly will become CEO of the new company – as yet unnamed. HEAT CEO John Ferron becomes the Executive Chairman of the new company’s Board of Directors.
Daly talks about how the deal will change offerings and markets available to both LANDESK and AppSense partners, and how the integration of the two channels is likely to roll out.
