Peter Seldon

Chairman

Peter has achieved considerable success in his career, having held senior level positions with ICT companies including Olivetti, Honeywell Systems (Groupe Bull) and ICL until 1982 when he left to start his own business,  Microplan.

The company grew revenues to £16M+ pa and 125 staff, focusing on the integration of PCs and Novell networks to mainframe computers.  A broadening relationship with Microsofts and their LAN Manager & NT product in the nineties precipitated the leveraged MBO of the hardware and maintenance divisions of the company in 1994, and the creation of a new company, Serverware Group plc, which specialised in the development of enterprise scale system management products for the emerging Windows NT environment.  This culminated in the sale of Serverware’s real time eventing product ‘Operations Manager’ to NetIQ. The product was then acquired subsequently by Microsoft and is now known at Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM).

 

Serverware then developed Enterprise Configuration Manager (ECM), which was acquired by Configuresoft where Peter was invited to join the Board of Directors.  In 2009 Configuresoft was acquired by EMC.

 

Peter is a true entrepreneur and a highly respected mentor to the management team at Conjungo.
