Nuremberg – 02/08/01 — With its subsidiary in
Oakland, California, the company has been active in the US market
since 1997. In the course of the coming weeks the company will
introduce new products to the US market. At the same time,
endeavors are made to increase the efficiency and reduce costs. For
this reason, SuSE Linux AG has decided to relocate certain tasks
such as the technical support from the US to Europe.
“While SuSE remains fully committed to the US market and our US
customers, we can be more effective by streamlining our on-site
presence in the US and integrating certain functions such as the
technical support into our operations in Europe. Here our 100+
staff members already provide expert services to customers in the
UK and other English-speaking countries,” explains Roland Dyroff,
CEO, SuSE Linux AG.
Consequently, the personnel will be reduced by 30 employees.
Henceforth 15 staff members will operate in the US, continuing to
develop and expand the location in accordance with the strategic
orientation of SuSE Linux AG.
“A lean team will handle on-site tasks like sales which are best
done in close proximity to the clients in this market. By
restructuring our activities in the US we will increase our
efficiency and better serve our customers with high-quality Linux
products and services,” says Roland Dyroff.
