The organisational structure of PLAUT has recently been reviewed in order to support the continuing growth of the company and allow for diversification into new areas of business. The following changes have been made to the leadership team:
David Prior PLAUT Group Chairperson
Scott Reed-Stephenson PLAUT Managing Director
Eckart Altenkamp
Operations & Solution Delivery Director
David Prior, who has headed up the PLAUT
SAP business in Australia
for the past eight years, has assumed the role of PLAUT Group Chairperson. David will now
concentrate on developing growth in the group's other business lines. He
will focus particularly on initiatives that extend the group's Business Intelligence, HR/Payroll capabilities and offerings to
the market, as well as on the forging of new strategic relationships.
Scott Reed-Stephenson has been appointed to the role of Managing Director of PLAUT Australia. Scott has worked at the
organisation for the past six years, most recently in the position of
Operations Director, where he was responsible for project governance,
quality management and service delivery to PLAUT Customers. Prior to that,
he has over 15 years of experience in SAP related implementation and
leadership roles in both Australia
and North America - with organisations
such Deloitte Consulting and BHP - to his credit. All of which makes him
admirably equipped to lead PLAUT'S SAP business through its next phase of
evolution.
Eckart Altenkamp
has been appointed to the role of Operations & Solutions Delivery
Director. His focus is to structure and grow our delivery capabilities through
consistent development and delivery of repeatable, high quality solutions.
Looking at
future directions for the company, PLAUT has committed to:
Strive for excellence in
serving existing and new customers
Implement expansion programmes
such as that into Victoria,
where a new office was recently opened and a regional manager appointed
Develop focused solutions, such
as Sustainability Reporting, Business Intelligence, Application Management
and Support, to meet the needs of customers in an evolving business
environment
Recent diversifications into new areas of business include:
