In addition to these key hires, the firm announces that it has opened its first international office in Bozeman, Montana. North America is the company's fastest growing market and the US-based team will help better serve an expanding client base in the region.
Administrate sells its software to large organisations that struggle to define, manage, report on and sustain employee engagement through training. The average firm spends more than $1,800 (£1,200) per employee per year but faces problems when trying to accurately track this spend and measure engagement. After implementing Administrate, customers realise huge time savings, can drive strategic training initiatives and increase overall student engagement. Clients include Elsevier, Scania, Becker Professional Education, FIVB, ForgeRock and the Brunswick Corporation.
John Peebles, CEO of Administrate, said: "We're delighted to welcome Derek and Troy to our team and excited to learn from their experience. Like our headquarters in Edinburgh, Bozeman is characterised by a first class university, beautiful surroundings, an outstanding talent pool and a quality of life that is a great fit with the ethos of our business."
