New UK Venture Strengthens Sales and Development Opportunities for DPM Barbados Throughout the Caribbean

ST MICHAEL, Barbados, May 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

DPM Systems and eXant have combined their UK operations and expertise to form a new business entity - Panoptic Systems Integration Limited - www.panopticsi.com. DPM Systems has had a long established relationship with eXant - as a leading channel partner for its eXant Business Intelligence (BI) software and has many years of experience in successfully deploying business intelligence software solutions built with eXant BI.

The provision of technical expertise to DPM Systems' Caribbean operations – www.dpmsys.com  continues unchanged via the Panoptic brand; following a seamless transition in providing systems and infrastructure support, software development, help desk support and ongoing software support facilities for all of our customers. In addition, Panoptic is tasked with helping DPM Barbados to develop a range of exciting, new products to support future business growth and development in the Caribbean.

Panoptic is now the strategic development arm of the DPM Barbados business and continues with the same technical team that has been working with you, our customers, in the past -- we have just added to the depth of the support resource available. The Panoptic team will provide us with software development and support resources plus additional skills in eXant business intelligence software development.

As part of this change, two individuals will change roles. Jon Deakin continues to be involved as both a director and shareholder in DPM Barbados but is taking an interim role working directly for one of its UK clients as a Programme Director, to complete a complicated integration job that they require. Geoff Taylor, veteran help desk manager, is taking a well earned rest, retiring from full-time involvement, while we encourage him to continue to work part-time and provide real knowledge transfer to his team.

The support team is second to none in its marketplace and has been able to accommodate these changes by drawing upon the excellent depth of resource that is available within the team. DPM Systems will continue to provide great support and technical advice and the only change is that the quality and range of services offered will increase over time.  

Peter Forrest, Managing Director, DPM Systems Barbados will continue to be involved in the frontline of support resources to its customers whilst working alongside Panoptic's development team to ensure that quality of service is maintained.

The full list of staff roles and responsibilities will be issued during this year's IMCS Forum that is planned for October 2011.
