Data protection technology developer Axcient has appointed channel veteran Rob Haggerty as vice president of technical support, whose goal will be to help partners address technical challenges and get more out of their solutions.
“One thing that makes Axcient stand out is our dedication to a great partner experience,” Rod Mathews, CEO of Denver-based Axcient, told CRN via email. “Rob will concentrate on making sure we continue to solve partner technical challenges quickly and completely while also building out our capabilities to offer counsel to partners on how to optimize their BCDR [business continuity and disaster recovery] services.”
